How to book Iaku

1. The restaurant also takes online bookings in Japanese through Ikyu Restaurant.
2. Call 050-5589-7725 (+81-50-5589-7725 from outside Japan). Staff may speak only Japanese, so a hotel concierge can call for you.

• Reservations: required. Walk-ins are not accepted.
• Start time: all guests start the meal together, so arrive a little early; late arrivals may miss courses.
• Cancellations: the restaurant charges a cancellation fee. Check the terms when you book.
• Anniversaries and birthdays: the restaurant prepares a celebration if you ask when you book (a dessert plate with your message, a cake or a surprise). More in Osaka.
