How to book

This restaurant is among the hardest to book in its city. The realistic route for first-time visitors is through an international hotel concierge — Mandarin Oriental, Park Hyatt, Four Seasons, Aman, or the Ritz-Carlton can place the call with the appropriate introductions. Direct booking through public platforms is often unavailable; the few seats that do release publicly book out within minutes of opening (typically the first of the prior month).

No English-language booking platform currently lists this restaurant. If you are visiting Japan for the first time and this restaurant is on your shortlist, have your hotel confirm availability before committing to a date.
