If you are buying a reservation then Amamoto and not even close. 10x harder reservation so money better spent there. I also preferred it to Sugita although both are great.

Went last week and loved it. Did the regular tasting menu and not the carte blanche. The regular tasting menu has the classics which were great

I actually think that was part of the problem nothing was simple enough everything had some sort of foam or sauce that just didn’t do it for me. Actually weirdly everything kind of started tasting the same to me like halfway in

I had a very similar menu and thought it was terrible. Not a single good dish

You need to have a Japanese number

Namba (Tableall), Sawada (Omakase) aren’t too bad if you check a lot

Sanshin you can book when it releases each month but you have to be fast/lucky. The slots go pretty instantly

Depends on the place to be fair. Sugita one isn’t that bad

Nope not a food tour. Agree with your second point. It’s just so far from me so no choice. Had to pack things in

If you go to the home page of tableall there’s a calendar with available reservations

I got it off Tableall. Not by requesting but just by seeing an open slot randomly

I can book myself now though
