How to book
Booking this restaurant requires advance planning. Typical lead time is one to three months — for the rarest seats, six months. Many restaurants of this difficulty release the next month's bookings on the first of the prior month; being in the queue the moment that window opens dramatically increases your chance of catching a difficult seat.
You can book in English via Ikyu. Flexibility on the date — especially weekday lunch — opens up substantially more options than a fixed Saturday-dinner request.
