The pictures are the restaurants’ own link-preview images, hotlinked from their sites and credited on each restaurant’s page. Nothing here is hosted by us.

One more Tokyo restaurant filed under Cafés has no Google listing we could match with confidence, so it carries no rating and is not ranked here. It is on the Tokyo list, at the bottom.

Every restaurant here qualified on published guides and was ordered by its Google rating, weighted for review volume. The method, in full. No restaurant paid to appear.
