Phone, in Japanese

Phone, one month ahead to the day; the line is jammed so expect redials. Check Ikyu too — a few seats are listed there.

Phone line: ☎ +81-43-306-6269; opening time not published — start calling in the morning
What to expect: Six-seat Edomae counter built on Chiba fish, Tabelog Award nominee. Blogs describe hundreds of redials to get through; Ikyu occasionally shows a seat.
