It’s that time of year again – the Michelin Guide Tokyo 2025 has just been announced and we have good news. Tokyo continues to live up to its reputation by holding the highest total number of Michelin stars in the world. Moreover, our beloved city goes on to add 13 restaurants to the one-star list while two Michelin favourites are promoted with additional stars.
The most exciting news from the 18th edition of the 2025 Michelin Guide is the promotion of Sézanne, which is newly awarded with three Michelin stars. The modern French restaurant at the Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Marunouchi is helmed by executive chef Daniel Calvert, who led the restaurant to receive its first Michelin star in 2022. Having earned and maintained its two-star status for the last two years, the restaurant is now a distinguished three-star dining experience, bringing Tokyo’s three-star restaurant count to a total of 12.
Along with Sézanne, Tokyo's Tempura Motoyoshi is also promoted this year, going from one star to two. Led by chef Kazuhito Motoyoshi, the restaurant is known for its exceptional and innovative take on the classic Japanese dish. With this newly awarded two-star status, Tokyo now has a total of 26 two-star restaurants in the guide.
