World’s 'best sushi restaurant' removed from Michelin guide

The world’s best sushi restaurant has been removed from the Michelin guide.
While reports indicate that the restaurant has been "stripped" of its Michelin stars, the spokesperson added: “It was not true to say the restaurant lost stars but it is not subject to coverage in our guide.
The restaurant opened in 1965 and boasts one of the world’s oldest chefs, Jiro Ono, who is 94-years-old and established the successful sushi spot.
Often known as Sushi Jiro, the 10-seat restaurant hosted the former US president Barack Obama and Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe in 2014.
Jiro’s son, Kazuyoshi Ono, caused controversy in 2011 after stating that women make inferior sushi chefs because their menstrual cycle affects their sense of taste and creates an “imbalance”, a claim widely contested by female sushi chefs.
