How to book

PlatformTableCheck

Bookable any time on TableCheck (also Michelin/OMAKASE listings) or by phone; no release day — a week or two ahead is normally enough.

What to expect: Hiramatsu-run ryotei in a 110-year-old sukiya villa on 2,000 tsubo of garden; two Michelin stars. 76 seats over 8 rooms plus counter, so dates rarely lock up — cancel 48 h before to avoid the 50/100% charge.
