When does Shinbashi Shimizu open reservations?

新ばし しみづ · Shinbashi, Tokyo · Sushi

How to book

Phone, in Japanese

Phone only, exactly one week ahead: the line opens at 8:00 JST seven days before your date. The named booker must attend; proxies and transfers are refused.

Phone line: ☎ From 8:00 on the day one week before your date, 03-3591-5763; no calls during service
What to expect: Seven counter seats; the house deliberately keeps a one-week book so nobody waits months, but the 8:00 line jams for 30+ minutes. Booker must attend in person (ID may be checked); non-Japanese speakers need a Japanese-speaking companion.
