How to book
This restaurant generally accepts bookings two to four weeks out, with some weekday lunch availability closer to the date. Most online platforms will surface real-time availability, and same-week reservations are realistic for off-peak slots.
English booking platforms do not currently cover this restaurant directly — phone reservations in Japanese or a hotel concierge are the path. Walk-ins are not typically supported at this tier of restaurant; always confirm a reservation before arriving.
