Before you head over
Essential advice on reservations, transit, and riverside conditions for your visit
Book Far in Advance
Reserve your table well in advance to ensure availability, as seating in the bamboo cocoons along the river is in high demand for tasting menu services.
Verify Navigation Coordinates
