ORDER THE CITY
Five rituals, without the costume.
Choose soup curry spice carefully
Rice is served beside the soup; start moderately and ask which stock, dairy and nuts are used.
Treat lamb barbecue as a full meal
Order vegetables and rice, follow staff instructions for the grill and keep raw-meat utensils separate.
Order seafood by the actual menu
Ask about species, portion and final cost rather than assuming a photographed market bowl is a fixed offer.
Make sweets a daytime stop
Rokkatei’s cafe closes well before dinner and has its own weekly rest day.
Allow ramen queue time
A bowl is quick once served, but the line can dominate the visit; keep another meal nearby in reserve.
Book by pressure, not prestige.
Weeks aheadSmall rooms, tasting menus, major weekends, and true occasion meals.
Several daysPrime dinner times and restaurants tied to a fixed show or attraction.
Same dayMarkets, counters, bakeries, and casual institutions after checking hours.
Always flexibleKeep one meal open for the neighborhood the trip makes you curious about.
