🙏 Good manners, happy hosts
- Tipping is not expected. Arrive on time and cancel early if plans change.
- Dip the fish side, not the rice, in soy sauce. Do not dissolve wasabi in it.
- Eat each piece soon after it is served; hands or chopsticks are both fine.
- Tell the shop about allergies when booking. Avoid strong perfume.
🗺️ Planning tips
- Save the map pin of each place before you go.
- Check hours and closed days on the shop page; they change.
- Reserve ahead where booking is offered.
- Carry some cash. Not every place takes cards.
