Tokyo guide

The paragon of French gastronomy guides has announced for the first time it is planning on rating Tokyo eateries.

The Michelin Guides are known for their sought-after-stars which many French, British and American chefs spend their whole careers trying to achieve.

The Tokyo guide is slated for launch this November and already there's controversy. Some are worried that the Michelin judges will impose French tastes on ancient Japanese cuisine.

In an attempt to quell their fears a spokesperson said that both Japanese and French judges were deployed.
