The house holds its own tosaka-style red vinegar rice at close to body temperature and dry-ages the bulk of its neta in a dedicated reach-in, so a given piece of chu-toro or kohada might be four, seven, or twelve days from the fish market depending on what the chef judges it needs. There is no menu to speak of — only the omakase, paced by what arrived at Tsukiji that morning and how the chef reads the room. Expect a rhythm of technique on display: the kombu-cured sea bream, the nikiri brushed rather than pooled, the tamago served last as a kind of signature. ## Menu highlights - **Omakase Edomae Course** ¥55,000 *20 pieces of nigiri plus otsumami, tamagoyaki, and miso-shiru; dinner only* - **Hiruma Omakase (Lunch)** ¥28,000 *12-piece abbreviated counter service, Thursday–Saturday only* - **Junmai Daiginjo Pairing** ¥18,000 *Five pours selected to track the rice-to-fish progression of the course* Rating transparency **FlightLogic expert score: 9.6/10.** Star ratings on this page are editorial composites from named FlightLogic research — not aggregated consumer submissions — unless individually marked as verified below.

[Review integrity policy](https://flightlogic.co.uk/review-integrity/) 1. ★★★★★ 5.0 Editorial sample The kohada was cut thinner than I've had anywhere else, and the chef explained why mid-course without being asked. Twenty pieces, no wasted motion. — Naomi Sekiguchi · 14 March 2026 Response from Harutaka Sekiguchi-sama, thank you for noticing the kohada — March is when we adjust the cure length for the season. We hope to see you again. 2. ★★★★★ 5.0 Editorial sample Booked this eleven months out through our hotel concierge and it was worth every day of waiting. The uni course alone justified the flight. — Marcus Feldman · 22 January 2026 ## Submit a verified dining review Consumer reviews require on-site geolocation verification or transaction proof before publication. See our [review integrity policy](https://flightlogic.co.uk/review-integrity/). ### How far in advance do I need to book Harutaka? Plan on three to six months for a standard reservation, and up to a year for peak dates like New Year's week or cherry blossom season. The counter seats only eight, and most nights are held by returning guests and their referrals, so a concierge booking or a direct call the moment a calendar window opens is your best route in. ### Is there a corkage or bottle service option for sake? Yes. Harutaka keeps a small, rotating list of junmai and junmai daiginjo sake chosen to match the rice-to-fish balance of the course, available by the pour or bottle. Outside bottles are accepted with advance notice and a corkage fee of roughly ¥8,000. ## Visit info ### Hours **Monday** Closed **Tuesday** 17:30–21:30 **Wednesday** 17:30–21:30 **Thursday** 12:00–14:00, 17:30–21:30 **Friday** 12:00–14:00, 17:30–21:30 **Saturday** 12:00–14:00, 17:30–21:00 **Sunday** Closed ### Features - Reservations accepted - Wheelchair accessible Last updated: 24 June 2026 ## Location ## More in Tokyo
