How to book

Online

Online (official web form) or the dedicated line. On the 1st of each month the house releases every date through the end of the month two months ahead.

What to expect: Three Michelin stars; 14 counter seats plus three private rooms. The whole two-month block is gone within the first day, so the vacancy-alert e-mail is the realistic route.

Next release days

All times are Japan Standard Time (UTC+9).

How do I book Sazenka from abroad?

Use the channel shown above. If it is a Japanese-language phone line, our Tokyo desk can call for you on the release day and confirm in writing in your language; the booking fee is charged only when the seat is secured.

What time zone is the release time?

All times are Japan Standard Time (UTC+9). Release days are computed from the house's published rule and re-checked monthly.

Rules are verified against official notices and platform listings and re-checked monthly. Houses change their systems without warning; treat the calendar as a planning tool and let us confirm the specifics for your dates.
