This urchin on bean paste was a treat for the eyes and the tastebuds!
The Michelin fact was unbeknownst to me before arriving, but a cool little piece of information. I’ll have to ask my buddy what the place was called since he booked it, I’ll add to the comments when i find it.

Curious , what makes it green?
This dish doesn’t look Michelin-quality to me. As a matter of fact it looks like throw up!
Sea urchin in a green tea deconstruction? Or poop in a glass.
Edit: the dookie has an ecto-cooler immersion surround it. This is silo.
japan takes customer service extremely serious and these recipes are their art.
Can’t know for sure since I don’t taste it, but I live in Tokyo and have enjoyed a lot of Omakase. If you just ate here recently, it could have been Sora-mame a type of green bean that is a delicacy in Spring, or it could have been Asparagus
What is it?
Is it definitely bean paste? Sweetened? Google translate says it is silkworm tofu (from their IG) 😳 but of course that could be way off (even silken tofu makes more sense, lol)!
Highest density of many things is Tokyo.
Tokyo has the most Michelin starred restaurants by a long shot. However, density usually refers to population density.
Being the largest city on earth Tokyo ranks around 12th in stars per population density. First is either Kyoto or San Sebastian I think.
It’s probably fava bean silken tofu(soramame dofu)
looks tasty
Japanese Uni, soo tasty 🤤
Probably cuz they sell a lot of tyres in Japan
It’s such an interesting juxtaposition too…
On one hand, Michelin stars come from the tire company as a way to promote road trips and thus new tires. But as far as countries go, Japan’s is not really the first place to come to mind for long road trips, especially not Tokyo.
On the other hand, there is a very strong influence of French cuisine and highly technical culinary arts, so in that respect, it makes perfect sense.
Highest density of many things is in Tokyo 😋
Your poop soup sir
A lot of restauranteurs no longer strive for Michelin rating. It’s extremely costly to keep up with the pretense.
It’s the city with the second highest restaurant density in the world (behind Hong Kong), so not really super surprising.
So THATS what few Michelin stars gets ya….MUNG!
That is fecal matter call 911
