Before you come

Questions we are asked

Most of them come by telephone between two and five. These are the ones that come most often.

Frequently asked

The honest answers.

How do I book?

By telephone, on +30 210 360 8842, answered between 14:00 and 17:00 Tuesday to Saturday. Counter seats for the following Wednesday through Saturday are released every Tuesday at noon.

Can I choose what I eat?

No. There is one menu each night, set by Hiroshi at half past five after the fish arrives. We adjust for declared allergies and for nothing else.

How long does it take?

Ninety minutes at the counter. The Ozashiki kaiseki runs about two and a quarter hours.

Is there a vegetarian menu?

Not at the counter. The Ozashiki can be made vegetable-forward with notice, and Hiroshi will speak to you about it before you book.

Can I take photographs?

One quiet photograph at your own seat is fine. No photography during the nigiri sequence, and none of other guests.

Are children welcome?

Not under fourteen at the counter. The Ozashiki is a conversation.

What if I am late?

Arrive within ten minutes of your seating. The sequence cannot be paused, and the second seating is waiting behind you.

Do you take walk-ins?

Rarely, and only when a seat is released late. It is worth telephoning at five on the day.

What does it cost?

€145 per person at the counter, €165 in the Ozashiki. The sake flight is €58 for five pours, €72 with the kaiseki.

Do you have a dress code?

No. Only no strong perfume — fragrance carries on cypress and interferes with the cure.

Still unanswered

Telephone the room.

We would rather talk than exchange messages. If the line is busy the room is being cleaned, and it is worth trying again in ten minutes.
