Tokyo retains its title as the culinary capital of the world.
According to a Reuters story:
(Reuters) - Tokyo retained its tasty title as the Michelin guide's world gourmet capital on Wednesday, although the number of three-star restaurants fell slightly.
This is the sixth consecutive year the capital of food-obsessed Japan has been awarded top honours by the publishers of a guide book regarded by many as a fine-dining resource.
Tokyo was also lauded for having the most restaurants bearing three-stars -- the Michelin guide's top honour -- even though the number slipped to 14 from 16 last year.
"Japanese gourmet cooking is even more creative, inspired and inventive than in the past," said Michelin Ellis, international director of the Michelin guides.
Maybe I can talk my "roomie" into a trip to Tokyo next year as she is a culinary student and do an "Iron Chef" tour.
