How to book Saku
- The restaurant also takes online bookings in Japanese through Ikyu Restaurant.
- Call 050-5597-6404 (+81-50-5597-6404 from outside Japan). Staff may speak only Japanese, so a hotel concierge can call for you.
- 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 Tokyo.
- Dining alone: recommended for one by Tabelog's users; say you are one when you book. Solo dining in Tokyo.
