  1. Use booking platforms such as Omakase, TableCheck or Tabelog's reservation system
  2. Ask your hotel concierge — some counters only take reservations via hotels or Japanese phone numbers
  3. Book 1–2 months ahead; seats release on set days
  4. Tell them about allergies when booking — changes on the day are difficult
  5. Arrive on time; late arrivals may be refused
