I'd say Guinness should probably explain their decision-making process. "Oldest restaurant in the world: Restaurante Botín, 1725" (https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/76907-oldest-restaurant https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/76907-old...). Yet St. Peter Stiftskulinarium was recorded as operating in Austria in 803 (1), Bianyifang in Beijing was established in 1416 (2), Zur letzten Instanz in Berlin in 1621 (but recorded existing a century earlier) (3), White Horse Tavern in Rhode Island established in 1673 (4), etc. This list from Japan alone could contradict Guiness' claim (5) (1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Peter_Stiftskulinarium https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Peter_Stiftskulinarium (2) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bianyifang https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bianyifang (3) https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zur_letzten_Instanz https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zur_letzten_Instanz (4) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Horse_Tavern_(Newport,_Rhode_Island) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Horse_Tavern_(Newport,_R...
