How to book

PlatformIkyu

Online through Japanese platforms such as Ikyu, or by phone. No fixed release day, but bear (Dec–Feb) and matsutake (Sep–Nov) seats sell out months ahead.

What to expect: Also on Tabelog and Pocket Concierge; a slot is not the meal — the kitchen composes a different menu per room.
