Yes, it's incredible. Almost as many in Tokyo alone as in the entire USA.
You'll notice too that Japan (along with other Asian locations) received their first Michelin star in only 2008.
European restaurants have stars dating from the 1960s, so this is really just the beginning for the East.
When they finally get around to surveying Bangkok I've little doubt we'll see our first street-food Michelin star.

- factsaresacred 8y agoNeat, I had no idea. Michelin-star food for $2 is a steal!
- wenc 8y ago> European restaurants have stars dating from the 1960s, so this is really just the beginning for the East. My sense is that it's more that the Michelin inspectors have only started to explore the East (Tokyo in 2007). I've always felt that Michelin inspectors were late to the scene. Excellent restaurants have probably existed in the East long before this. I've visited many Asian countries and the food culture and passion for food there exceeds that of many European countries (and I've eaten at Basque restaurants).
