    Eat 86

    A Michelin-starred kaiseki restaurant where the chef reportedly changes ingredients mid-course based on what guests are talking about, which is either very attentive or slightly unnerving, depending on your table conversation. The meal closes with a choose-your-own comfort food round of mackerel sushi, chazuke, or ramen. During the Gion Festival, a replica of the parade's lead float appears inside, because why not.

    One honor, in evidence:

    The record strongest first

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. Most of it is the record: the scored places within reach, weighed by distance, so more good stuff nearby means a higher score. The rest is how life is in that country and what it's like right there: how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are, the air, and the weather. If it looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
