By on December 8, 2020

2021 is looking good for 22 newly starred restaurants announced in Michelin’s 2021 Tokyo Guide.

The new addition of two three-star, two two-star, and 18 one-star Tokyo restaurants brings the total number of Michelin-starred restaurants in the city to 446. Currently, there are 12 three-star restaurants in Tokyo to which Sazenka, the first Chinese restaurant offering nouvel cuisine, has been newly added. L’Effervescence, a French restaurant joins Sazenka in the three-star category after earning two stars in 2015.

Six restaurants were also awarded the Green Star, a new award for sustainability which the new three-star restaurant L’Effervescence also earned.

Not all Michelin-starred restaurants are pricey. In fact, Michelin also awards Bib Gourmand status to neighborhood restaurants that deliver a high quality dining experience at a reasonable price.  It’s no surprise that Enrique Marruecos, a Moroccan restaurant tucked in the streets of cozy Setagaya ward made it to the Bib Gourmand Tokyo list.
