Reserve a table
Most Nagoya restaurants take walk-ins, so a reservation is usually optional — for the famous ones, arriving right at opening beats booking. Booking pages and phone lines are in Japanese; your hotel front desk will call for you if you ask.
No licensed photo — this shop does not pay to advertise. In Japan that is often the mark of a place that fills up anyway.
