Exceptions and seasons

The Niigata branch serves weekdays: dinner Monday–Friday from 18:00 or 19:00 (the day's first booking sets the start for everyone), lunch Thursday and Friday from 12:00. Holidays follow the Sunday pattern. Arriving 30 minutes late counts as a cancellation; no strong fragrances.

How do I book Tokiwasushi Niigata from abroad?

Tokiwasushi Niigata takes reservations online through OMAKASE, which you can use from abroad with your own account and a credit card. If you would rather not, our Tokyo desk can request it for you: ¥12,000 per seat, charged only if the table is secured. A free release-date alert emails you the day before, on the morning of release day (08:00 JST) and about 30 minutes before when the opening time is known; houses that open a little every day come in a weekly summary.

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.
