The accolade sees owner, Japanese sushi master Mitsuhiro Araki, regain the three stars he won at his Edomae (Tokyo-style) sushi restaurant in Tokyo before closing it to relocate to London three years ago.

The 51-year-old chef, who is joined by his wife and one assistant, moved from Japan partly because his daughter is at boarding school in the UK and partly because he fancied a challenge.

Michael Ellis, the international director of the Michelin guides, said: “With its nine-seater counter, The Araki has gone from strength to strength. When Mitsuhiro Araki moved to London from Tokyo in 2014, he set himself the challenge of using largely European fish and his sushi is now simply sublime.”
51歲的荒木師傅和他的妻子還有一名助手一起經營餐廳，他因女兒在英國寄宿學校唸書而從日本搬到倫敦，還有另一個原因是他想挑戰自己。

Araki now serves salmon sushi, which is practically unheard of for a top-tier sushi restaurant in Japan, and has incorporated luxury ingredients, notably caviar and truffle, into his menu.
《米其林指南》國際總監麥可艾里斯表示：「靠著9個座位的吧檯，荒木餐廳不斷精益求精。2014年當荒木從東京搬來倫敦時，他給自己設下一個挑戰，就是使用歐洲魚種來做日本壽司，現在他的壽司實在太令人讚嘆了。」

Boasting that “every seat is at the chef’s table,” The Araki has only one set menu, the omakase sushi menu, for £300 a person, and notes it is “unable to accommodate dietary requirements.”
荒木現在提供鮭魚壽司，對於日本高級壽司餐廳來說簡直是前所未聞的事，菜單也融入了魚子醬、松露等高級食材。

The restaurant joins a select top tier with three Michelin stars: The Fat Duck and The Waterside Inn in Bray, Alain Ducasse at the Dorchester as well as Restaurant Gordon Ramsay.
標榜「每個座位都是主廚的餐桌」，荒木餐廳只供應主廚精選壽司套餐，每人要價300英鎊，且註明「無法接受特殊的飲食要求。」
