"The MICHELIN Green Star was newly awarded, to two restaurants from Kyoto. Newly Starred French restaurant la bûche expresses the terroir of Ohara through its cuisine. It sources ingredients from neighbouring producers and hunters, and many of its creations are based around wild plants. The wine list, focusing in natural wines, has also impressed the MICHELIN Guide Inspectors. Shigetsu uses ingredients purchased at the market to create its menu on a day-to-day basis. The restaurant is also very committed to avoid food waste. For examples, vegetable scraps from the cooking process are dried and turned into compost, to ferilize local fileds. With is Shojin style, the restaurant also conveys the importance of limited ingredients." - MICHELIN Guide Japan
