How to book

PlatformIkyu

Ikyu (instant plans) or phone; no release trigger — dinner only four nights a week, so book a month or so ahead.

What to expect: Hinoki-counter omakase in the hills of Takagamine; two Michelin stars. 14 seats incl. one private room; dinner only, closed Wed/Sat/Sun — so the open nights sell out first.
