What Pocket Concierge is
Pocket Concierge is a Japanese booking service for restaurant experiences. Its pages are in English, its listings carry tags such as 'English speaking staff', and it describes 'seamless online reservation and payment'.
A restaurant listing shows the course and price, dates and a reservation policy. Harutaka, for example, lists its omakase and a waitlist for parties of two on Pocket Concierge (Pocket Concierge listing, read 2026-11-12).
Payment, fees and cancellation
Its site describes online reservation and payment; we could not verify what is charged at booking, or any diner fee, so we state none. Look at the checkout screen: it shows what is charged now.
Its dining etiquette page says that in principle, cancellations made 2 to 3 business days before the reservation date incur a 50% fee, and cancellations the day before or on the day incur 100%. It also says cancellation fees may vary by restaurant.
Harutaka's listing (Pocket Concierge listing, read 2026-11-12) gives the numbers for that counter: 50% from 3 business days before, 100% from 1 business day before, and children not allowed.
Every Tokyo restaurant we watch on Pocket Concierge
Each restaurant with the days a table opened in the last 90, when new dates appear (observed, Tokyo time), how far ahead the calendar reached and how long the typical table lasted. A blank means we have not seen enough to say. The observed column is per restaurant across its platforms, not per platform.
Every restaurant we monitor in full in Tokyo that takes bookings on this platform, with its last 90 days. Restaurants we monitor in full (every party size, every date, every day).

Proprietary data: Table Alert checks each restaurant's public booking calendar around the clock; these figures cover the last 90 days, vouched restaurants only, and are refreshed every night.
Booking tips
- Read the restaurant's reservation policy on its listing before you submit.
- Booking is in English, but the restaurant itself may differ: Harutaka's staff speak English, but its menu is Japanese only (Pocket Concierge listing, read 2026-11-12).
- Many restaurants here also list on OMAKASE or TableCheck, with different rules. The restaurant's guide says where each one books.
- Check children and dress rules on the listing: Pocket Concierge's etiquette page says many fine dining restaurants set age limits.

Lifesaver service for booking difficult reservations
“Been looking for something like this for years, so glad I finally found it. It actually works — I just set up my alerts and wait for them to ping me. Already more than paid for itself with the couple of reservations I’ve managed to get this month alone.”
