If a seat comes back
We watch this house's own booking page and email anyone following it when dates appear that were not there before. We hold nothing — the seats go first come, first served.

Booking details

Exceptions and seasons

No published release day. Late-autumn crab-season dates (November–December) and the seven-seat counter go first — book two to three months ahead for those. The reservation page lists the whole year's courses but only some run on a given date: from November 7 to January 31 the counter offers only Course E (¥39,600) and the crab kaiseki (¥79,200). Prices are indicative, as listed on Pocket Concierge (September 2026).

  • No booking for one — not even paying for two seats. It is the house's own rule; a Japanese guest dining alone is turned away too.
  • Smart casual. Shorts and sandals are refused at the door.

How do I book Zeniya from abroad?

Zeniya takes reservations online through Pocket Concierge and Ikyu, 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: ¥6,000 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.
