Michelin Adds 12 New Kyoto-Osaka Picks
New selections land before the official star ceremony
The Michelin Guide added 12 new restaurants to its Kyoto and Osaka listings in July 2026, based on recent inspector tastings. The new entries are live on the official Michelin Guide website, each flagged with a 'New' icon.
These additions are selection-only for now. The official unveiling of Michelin Stars and Bib Gourmands for the region is scheduled for a later date, meaning the bigger accolades are still to come.
For Kyoto and Osaka, two cities already stacked with Michelin-recognized dining, twelve fresh entries signals that inspectors are still finding restaurants worth the detour. Dekho kaun badhta hai when the star ceremony finally drops.
