The table they thought was impossible.

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.”

FAQ
Sushi Shunji: questions people ask
Through OMAKASE (omakase.in), the booking site its own website links to. Create a free account and favourite the restaurant. Tabelog lists phone bookings from 12 to 3 PM on business days, but also says the line is closed.
Yes. Tabelog quotes the restaurant: it runs a lottery for reservations through OMAKASE, to give as many people as possible a fair chance. Register as a favourite on OMAKASE and the restaurant sends you the information.
Its OMAKASE page, when we last read it in 2025, listed the next round as to be announced. In our monitoring, new dates appear at no fixed time, and seats opened on only 8 of the last 90 days.
Very hard. Ten counter seats, a lottery, and openings that vanish: 96% of the ones we saw were cancellations, and the typical one was gone in about 77 seconds. A flexible diner could expect an alert within 4 weeks.
No. Tabelog lists it as reservation-only, and the counter is sold by lottery and booking. A walk-in has no seat to take, since every sitting starts together and the person who booked must dine.
The restaurant does not state a limit in the sources we checked. Most openings we see are for a party of 2 (80% of them), so going alone or as a pair has the best odds.
There is no stated dress code. The restaurant asks guests not to wear perfume or similar scents, which spoil the aroma of the food and drinks. The course is for adults: guests must be able to eat the full adult course.
Dinner in two sittings, 5 PM to 7:30 PM and 8 PM to 10:30 PM, with lunch once or twice a week. Closed irregularly, mainly Sundays and Wednesdays. It is at Motoazabu 3-6-34, Minato-ku, about 10 minutes from Roppongi or Azabu-Juban.
The omakase course is ¥45,000 to ¥50,000 before tax and a 10% service charge, depending on the day's fish, per its own website. Tabelog's average spend is ¥50,000 to ¥59,999. OMAKASE adds a ¥390 reservation fee per seat.
You can cancel, with a fee: its OMAKASE page, in 2025, listed 30% three days before, 50% the day before and 100% on the day. A booking cannot be transferred, because the person who made it must dine at the restaurant.
No. Table Alert watches Sushi Shunji's OMAKASE calendar and alerts you, with a link, when a seat opens. You book it yourself on OMAKASE. We don't book, hold or resell tables, and we don't use bots.
No alert within your first 30 days? Cancel and send us an email. We'll refund you in full — no questions asked.
Yes. Cancel from your account settings at any time. You'll keep access until your subscription expires.
