How to book this house

The eight seats go to regulars and introductions; the only public door is OMAKASE (one booking per quarter) and Pocket Concierge, where seats appear without notice and vanish in seconds, so favourite both pages for alerts. Lunch 11:30 and dinner 17:00; closed Sundays and holidays.

Introduction only — follow and we tell you if it ever opens to new guests.

About this house

Request-based, months of lead time; a party of two and lunch included in the request improve the odds.

Booking details

Exceptions and seasons

Leftover inventory surfaces on OMAKASE at unannounced moments and vanishes in seconds; the calendar effectively belongs to regulars. Crab months (November into winter) are hardest.
