  1. A wooden tablet by the door states the kitchen's intent plainly: rice from the okudo stove, char-grilled snacks, wild grasses and flowers. This two Michelin-starred Japanese restaurant in Sakyo-ku is quiet and deliberate, the kind of place that asks you to put your phone away, not as a policy but as an obvious courtesy. The chef forages herbs and grasses and turns them into something that makes you notice things you normally walk past.

    Two honors, in evidence:

          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.
