When does Tanakaya open reservations?

割烹 田中家 · Yokohama, Kanagawa · Kaiseki

How to book

Phone, in Japanese

Reservation-only by phone in Japanese, minimum two guests, nothing same-day. No release day — book with normal lead time, longer for geisha evenings.

Phone line: ☎ Japanese line; service lunch 11:30–14:00, dinner 17:00–22:00 (closures irregular — mainly summer break and New Year)
What to expect: Reservation-only but genuinely open to newcomers; room choice and geisha arrangements need notice.
