Frequently Asked

How were these restaurants picked for the Tokyo ranking?

Every Michelin-recognized restaurant in Tokyo is scored on the same six-dimension framework (prestige, diner rating, public attention, value, foreign-visitor accessibility, rating stability). Restaurants matching this ranking's criteria are then ordered by the sort key declared in our rankings_config — for this page that's overall score (or the relevant dimension). The top entries are surfaced editorially: we cap at 25 to keep the page actionable.

Is this ranking 'official'?

No. Japan Fine Dining Index is editorially independent. We are not affiliated with the Michelin Guide, Tabelog, Ikyu, or any restaurant. The Michelin level we display is a publicly available fact; every other score in the ranking is produced by our own pipeline.

How often does the ranking update?

Source data refreshes monthly and on any material change (closure, star revision, price move). The ranking is regenerated on every build. The timestamp at the top of the page is the most-recent data refresh for this city.

Why are some restaurants missing from this ranking that I expected to see?

Three common reasons. (1) The restaurant did not pass this ranking's filter — e.g. score below threshold, or no lunch program for a lunch ranking. (2) The restaurant scores below the editorial cap of 25. (3) The restaurant is in our index but in a different city — check the matching city's ranking. Email [email protected] if you believe a restaurant is missing in error.

Can I book these restaurants through this page?

Each entry links to its full detail page where the booking links live — OMAKASE, TableCheck, Pocket Concierge, Ikyu, the restaurant's own English page, or the hotel-concierge route for the very hardest. We do not run reservations ourselves; we point you to the platforms that hold live availability.
