Introduction
Shutei Tanaka is a Bib Gourmand yakitori restaurant in Kanegabuchi, Sumida-ku, Tokyo. The brothers divide the work: the elder prepares seasonal Japanese dishes while the younger handles the skewers, served alternately as a course. Reviews praise the precise grilling of Kumano jidori and refined washoku that pairs beautifully with sake.

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.
No English-language booking platform currently covers this restaurant; an international hotel concierge can place the reservation on your behalf. Flexibility on the date — especially weekday lunch — opens up substantially more options than a fixed Saturday-dinner request.
