Who says the sushi god is difficult to book?
USH Food Capital Tokyo has 12 Michelin three-star companies, the world's largest. Many of them are hard to order at the hell level, and it is difficult to reach the sky if you want to eat it once.
Of course, it does not mean that the higher the booking is, the higher the cooking level is, but that each store has its own rules. For example, some stores implement a completely custom-made system. If you don’t know people, you will not be able to find a way no matter how rich you have. But there are actually unknown secrets to book these popular restaurants.
01. "Customized" that is difficult to order at the hell level. Learn about
Little Raspberry reflects the difficulty of booking according to the 5-star system. The more stars there are, the more difficult it is. In fact, the famous Sushi God Ono Jiro 's store is not the highest threshold, and can only get 4 stars:
Sushi God
Summitya Higashi Jiro
★★★★★
Ono Jiro's store has become a destination in the hearts of countless people because of a BBC documentary. The underground shop near Ginza subway station has only 10 seats, but it has won three Michelin stars for 10 consecutive years. Since Obama and Abe visited, tourists from all over the world have been competing for these 10 locations.
official statement is that every month, you can only make reservations for the next month at 9:00 every month, and you can only make reservations by phone, but the fact is that you can't get in at all. Even if you call in, it will not accept bookings from overseas. Even if you ask a friend from Tokyo to come directly, if you are not a regular customer, you will be told that you are full or requested to call.

❶ For tourists, the most convenient way is to book through the hotel's concierge . Shangri-La, Park Hyatt, Peninsula, Mandarin, Aman, Hongsinoya, Ritz, Intercontinental, Andaz... These hotel concierges have long cooperated with restaurants, but the concierge cannot ensure success. In order to improve the success rate, remember to communicate with the hotel 2 months in advance (it is difficult to reach the sky in that month, unless you have a famous connection like Li Yundi and Hugh Jackman, you can go to the line to eat...). The optional time for meals should be expanded to dinner and lunch within a few days, and you need to deduct a 50% deposit for meal fees in advance by credit card.
❷ However, in such a restaurant, regular customer system, is very useful. Jiro's store will reserve locations for regular customers, partners, and friends in the industry (it is said that only 40 locations are open to fresh customers every month). Some Taobao orders on behalf of , which is the way for partners to reserve locations. The reservation fee of 2,000 to 4,000 is even the same as the meal fee, but it can be guaranteed to be successful.
In fact, if you are not so obsessed with it, you can also try other sushi restaurants. After all, Erro's pursuit of techniques has reached the extreme. For the sake of temperature, freshness and taste of fish, 17 jin of sushi must be eaten in 20 minutes in a serious atmosphere, so the dining experience is no better than that of other restaurants.
hell level is difficult to subscribe
3 金 さいとう
★★★★ ★★
surpass Jiro to win the difficult index of 5 stars, Saito, who won the Mi Three for 7 consecutive years. It and Jiro represent the two factions of sushi, the Saito dining experience is more relaxed and comfortable, and the chef Saito Takaji himself is much more friendly.
But the reason why it is said to be "hell level" is because Saito does not look at the face of the concierge, and no matter how expensive the hotel you live in, you can't book it (not even Aman). The reason is also very simple: only receives regular customers .
Saito used to have only 8 seats, but now it has opened a new seat by Shunji Hashiba, who has been studying with Saito for 13 years, and the number of receptions has doubled. Even so, it is difficult to order
. The secret here
. There was also the Luxury Card credit card concierge that can be ordered on behalf of you. Starting this year, newcomers can only be brought in through regular customers. After each meal, they will determine the time for next time. If you are obsessed with it and don’t know anyone, you can only use the omnipotent Taobao subscription route. They have regular customer channels, but the reservation fee is rarely less than 1,000 yuan. As expected, here’s the connections are worth a thousand yuan.
The legendary French food that is hard to call
Quintessence
★★★★
has maintained the record of 3 meters for 11 consecutive years, and has an amazing high score of 4.8 on Tabelog. As a legendary French cuisine, but fair price and extremely cost-effective, the difficulty of booking of Quintessence is almost the same as Saito (Saito also takes the cost-effective route).

Its rule is to call to book two months in advance, such as 9:30 am on August 25th and before you can book seats on September 25th and before (although that is, with its popularity, the previous ones will definitely not be able to book...). Its phone reservation is still very feasible, but it takes a lot of time. There are many people who finally make hundreds or thousands of phone calls and make a successful reservation.
If you book successfully once, it will be much more convenient to book directly at the end of the meal~

02. Michelin three stars also have approachable
LA TABLE de Joël Robuchon
★★
Compared with the world's most popular stars (the old man just passed away some time ago, R.I.P), it is easier to order in the Misanfa restaurant La Table in Japan.
Restaurant In Ebisu’s iconic palace building, , a popular Japanese drama " Tokyo Women’s Picture Book " said, "The one who can date here before the age of 30 is a good woman." Please see the story of Mr. Busong: The "Michelin Legend" who has won the most stars in the world passed away. He once said, "The pressure is too great, I want to live a good life"!

JR just book on the official website of . It is easy to see which time period there is a space at a glance, which is very convenient. The date you can book the most recently is October 1st, about one month ahead of schedule, which is not too long.
approachable
营したけ
★★★★
Sushi restaurants are not all cold. There are 5 Mi San Sushi restaurants in Japan, and 3 are concentrated in Tokyo. The last one is Yoshitake Masahiro in Ginza. Yoshito opened two sushi restaurants and both rated Mi San (the other one is the Shihun of Hong Kong), and the apprentice he brought out also rated Mi San in Hokkaido , which can be said to occupy half of Mi San Sushi.

It only has 8 seats and receives two rounds a night, but it may be because of Jibu's background: chain background, life experience in New York, so it is very friendly to foreign tourists and is easy to order. phone booking or through hotel concierge , there is no threshold; but the location is also quite tight, remember to be two months in advance.
molecular strawberry
longyin
★★★
Yamamoto Seiji was famous all over the world with a molecular strawberry. 7 years later, Longyin, which makes new Japanese cuisine (especially seafood-based), now has three stores: Japan, Hong Kong (Sky Dragon Yin) and Taipei (Xiangyun Dragon Yin).
now has changed to a molecule Apple

Tokyo store is the same as Jiro Ono. From 12:00 on the 1st of that month, you can book seats next month by , but it is much less difficult. After all, there are 40 seats, and you can basically order them by calling one month in advance. Sometimes, someone may even just stop by unsubscribe and order a recent location. If you don’t understand Japanese, it is very convenient to find various intermediaries. In addition to hotel concierge, all domestic platforms are not expensive, and only a few hundred yuan can be done. Originally in Roppongi, the new store opened in Hibiya on August 21st. However, now I can’t eat the famous molecular strawberries. Yamamoto Seiji doesn’t stay in the store very much, and it is basically done by the sous chef.
Pufferfish sashimi
Usukiki ふぐYamadaya
★★
The remaining rice 3 dishes are similar, and it is not difficult to make sure. You can basically order by calling a month or two weeks in advance. Among them, Yamadaya, which eats pufferfish, can even make an appointment to buy a set meal on Dianping , but it is ordered by 4 people:
The price of the set is about 4 or 500 more expensive than the in-store menu, including the order fee
In addition, there is kaiseki cuisine Ishiki Kamikazuki. The chef Ishikawa has 2 Mi San, and another kashiki apprentice Koizumi Koizumi chef. He won 2 stars in the first year and was promoted again in 2016; as well as the kaiseki cuisine まきmura and Kanda (かんだ), which are also kaiseki cuisine, and Amabu Yuki Village, which eats crabs... The reputation is not as loud as the previous ones, and there will not be too many foreign guests.
In fact, in Tokyo, there are many shops with great strength and high rankings on Tabelog that refuse Michelin star reviews, such as the God of Tempura, the God of Eel, the French cuisine L'equateur, etc., which are also very difficult to order.
Dianping's Japanese website, the ratings are all diners, and they are also trustworthy
, but to talk about routines, I will summarize it here:
❶ A store with a difficulty of reservation of 3 stars, find a friend in Japan to make a phone call 1-2 months in advance;
❷ If there is no conditions, you can find an intermediary platform to book on behalf of the agency, and the price is around a few hundred;
❸ A restaurant that always has busy phones, you can try a luxury hotel/platinum credit card concierge;
❹ It is difficult to determine the level of hell, and a custom-made restaurant, and find a universal Taobao. They have channels for regular customers. Of course, the price of the agency has also risen, usually around a few thousand, it depends on whether you are so persistent and want to eat.
The last important thing is said three times: In advance! in advance! in advance! If it is not Obama, if you want to book a next day or walk in directly, you can't intercept it no matter how much money you have.
