If a seat comes back

We found no official vacancy alert for this booking channel. Booking on the release day is the realistic route.

We still send you release-date alerts: for a set release date, the day before, on the morning of release day (08:00 JST) and about 30 minutes before when the time is known; for houses that open a little every day, a weekly summary.

About this house

14 seats (6-seat counter plus two rooms). Concierge blogs report 500–1,000 redials over 1–3 hours; Ikyu's house notice said the book was full through Dec 2025 and 2026 was not yet being accepted — call before planning.
