Thomas Combescot-Lepere, director of food and beverage, Mandarin Oriental Hotel Tokyo.
Thomas Combescot-Lepere is director of food and beverage at Tokyo's Mandarin Oriental Hotel, which has three Michelin-starred restaurants.
"In terms of technique and execution, here in Japan it's done to the millimeter, day in and day out," he says.
"I think that Michelin look for that consistency and it's very important here.
"There's also an open-mindedness, a huge passion for and dedication to what they do -- if you have to sleep next to the oven, so be it!
"If I go to a French restaurant in Tokyo, when I step inside I genuinely feel like I'm in Paris. The food, the drinks, the produce, the service, the way they speak to me is so authentic.
"It's the same if you go for a pizza, you truly feel like you're in Italy. It's extraordinary.
