How do I book Ichiunagi from abroad?
Ichiunagi takes reservations by phone in Japanese only. Phone line: 0557-37-9927 (Japanese); reservation-line hours not published — the owner cooks alone, so the line may go unanswered during service. Closed Tue–Wed. From abroad, either call at those hours or have a Japanese speaker call for you. 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.
