Tokyo Table Trip

Hello, may I ask - I tried to get a reservation through a high-end hotel concierge about 3 months in advance, but they were unsuccessful when calling on the first of the month for the following month. Is it ok to try to come in person to schedule myself with a cash deposit and over 10 days advance notice? To be clear, I don't have a reservation yet, but I will be in Tokyo for almost a month, so I can give a cash deposit for a reservation in advance if they'll let me. If so, is there an advisable time to go? After lunch service, perhaps 14:15 or so? Thank you

It's been a while since we've had a great restaurant introduction article by localtaste.

It is really a fantastic restaurant. The experience is rare and it is worth going. I went there twice during my five day trip in Tokyo.

Can somebody confirm - they only release Saturdays on Omakase? I checked the calendar at exactly 10am. I only saw Saturdays available.

@guest No they don’t accept reservation period. You need to que up

Thank you Saito-san. Your sense of humor and clever wit today is at its finest! I appreciate a good joke, haha. (facepalm on the Shinkansen tip) I will swim out to Suruga Bay if I have to. I was thinking of stopping in Fujinomiya on the way back. So another recommendation of gyokuro. I guess I'll have to have some then. Will look forward to the post meal tea. And also took down your suggestion @localtaste. I thought Yame Gyokuro was the famous variety, but I guess Shizuoka must have something on par.

Made this report upon visiting them for the first time after they moved to a new location!

Most of the top hotel concierge services in Tokyo can easily book this shop, too. If you are staying at a 5 star hotel and they are telling you they cannot secure a reservation at Takamitsu, I'd recommend moving to a different hotel.

Understanding Leo-saito. Thank you so much for your insights

The size

Fantastic meal back in May. The lunch deal still remains at 10000 yen with an insane amount of food. Thank you for the recommendation

For overseas travelers, reservations can be made through concierge at the hotel they are planning to stay.

Sorry for the late reply but I think that they only accept reservations via facebook from Japanese customers . I actually gave the contact of one of my friends in Japan instead of my own information. (+ I wrote to them in Japanese). They must've thought I was Japanese haha. Maybe next time you should try that instead.

They do not have any particular starting time specified, and their system is such that guests can request for a time between 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. that is convenient for them.

Below are the prices and the cancellation charges quoted by my hotel for satake when I went for lunch early this month(Aug 2018). Restaurant: Sushi Satake Course: 12,960JPY per person course only Cancellation policy: 100% of te course if you cancel the reservation on the reservation day.
