How to book

Phone, in Japanese

Phone or Ikyu/Gurunavi, no release day. Three fixed sittings make dates easier than the reputation suggests, but cancellations cost 50% even a month out.

Phone line:+81-6-6346-0112; sittings 16:00, 18:30 and (Sat) 21:00, two-hour slots, closed Sun–Mon
What to expect: 13-seat counter, one Hinai-jidori course, one Michelin star 2026. Ikyu and Gurunavi sell seats; note the unusually strict cancellation scale — 50% from 31 days out, 100% inside a week.
