"When we first launched the guide in Tokyo it was such a success. We had an incredible number of incredible restaurants. 150 restaurants with stars and we decided why are we not looking at Kyoto?, because Kyoto has this traditional gastronomy. This is where, actually everything started. The great product, we find that restaurants have really been here for 300, 400, 500 years and so we decided to come here 2 years ago and started to really evaluate the restaurants."

29. SOUNDBITE (English) Jean-Luc Naret, Director of Michelin Guides:
"Well, at Michelin we're looking first, for a star, what is inside the plate. We are definitely looking at the choice of the product, the ingredients, how the flavours are cooked, what is actually the personality of the chef in the plate. And then obviously the consistency across the menu and the consistency across the year as well, because the restaurant is not only inspected once by one inspector but it's inspected multiple times by multiple inspectors."
