In the Nara guide, the one three star restaurant, the two two star restaurants and 12 one star restaurants all retained their awards in the 2016 edition.
15 restaurants were awarded a Bib Gourmand, which is the first time this award has appeared in the Nara selection. The limit is JPY 3,500 or less and all types of cuisine were considered.
Bernard Delmas, the president of Nihon Michelin Tire, said: “We are very pleased to present the new edition of the Michelin Guide to the Kansai region.
