When does Botan open its reservation book?
Book online on the house's own web form (Toreta) or Tabelog until 22:00 the day before, or call in Japanese. No release day — a normal planning window is enough, and unreserved seats are kept for walk-ins. All times are Japan Standard Time (UTC+9).
How do I book Botan from abroad?
Botan takes reservations online through own site (Toreta) and Tabelog, which you can use from abroad with your own account and a credit card. If you would rather not, our Tokyo desk can request it for you: ¥6,000 per seat, charged only if the table is secured. A free release-date alert emails you the day before, on the morning of release day (08:00 JST) and about 30 minutes before when the opening time is known; houses that open a little every day come in a weekly summary.
What time zone is the release time?
All times are Japan Standard Time (UTC+9). Release days are computed from the house's published rule and re-checked monthly.
