This year was not easy, 17 new 3 star restaurants spread from Hokkaido to Shanghai to Taipei to San Francisco. Additionally there are 2 more restaurants which changed the Chef but retained the 3 stars. In my book another "new" 3 star.
In total 19.

Overall a pleasant meal, somehow a little overthought and quite a few execution errors.

I totally understand the concept intellectually, but it just makes some of the dishes less tasty.

Booked again in November 2019(!), the first possible booking without relying on cancellations. Less

Yakiniku owned by the beef company Ginkakuji Onishi.
Takayama-tencho, the Chef there probably has forgotten more about beef than I will ever know.
This place is a favourite for local Chefs and as we are there now "regulars" we can call ahead and order special cuts.
Every meal there is a lesson in anatomy of a cow.
