## The short answer

The register's three Tokyo tables separate by kitchen: French innovation in Shinagawa, modern Japanese course cooking in Roppongi and the grand French house in Ebisu. None of the three repeats another's evening.

## What the register checks

- Quintessence: Shinagawa, three MICHELIN stars. Shuzo Kishida's three-star French room in Shinagawa, a fixed menu that the kitchen decides in full and refines at a pace of its own.
- RyuGin: Roppongi, three MICHELIN stars. Seiji Yamamoto's three-star dining room in Roppongi, Japanese course cooking that modernises kaiseki without leaving it.
- Joel Robuchon: Ebisu, three MICHELIN stars. The grand French house in Ebisu's chateau building, three stars of classical haute cuisine in the most ornate dining room of the register's Tokyo trio.

## Questions

### How are the starred restaurants in Tokyo selected?

Each restaurant needs two or three MICHELIN stars, checked on its own MICHELIN Guide page, and a clear answer to when it is the right booking and when it is not.

### How many Tokyo restaurants are in this register?

3. It is a deliberately short first edition that separates the city's starred rooms by style, not a directory of every starred address.

### Does Linen Harbour rank the restaurants in Tokyo?

No. The numbers organise the page. The useful distinction is what kind of evening each room serves and who should book elsewhere.

### Can I reserve a table through Linen Harbour?

No. Each record links to the restaurant and to its MICHELIN page. The restaurant handles every reservation and payment.

### Why are there no menus or prices on this page?

Tasting menus and prices change with the season. The restaurant site is where the current menu is set, and this register does not republish numbers it cannot keep current.

### Where do the star counts come from?

From each restaurant's page on the MICHELIN Guide site, read on 20 August 2026. Every record links that page, so the claim can be checked in one click.
