How do I book Isegen from abroad?

Isegen takes reservations online through Tabelog, which you can use from abroad with your own account and a credit card.

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.
