When does Ginza Kojyu open its reservation book?

Reservations at Ginza Kojyu next open on November 1, 2026 at 10:00 JST, for dates in December 2026. Phone in Japanese from 10:00 — the book runs to the end of next month, so each 1st releases a new month; later months are announced on the site.

How do I book Ginza Kojyu from abroad?

Ginza Kojyu takes reservations online through OMAKASE and Pocket Concierge, 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: ¥12,000 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.
