To maintain the elegant atmosphere of our dining room, we adhere to a 'smart casual' dress code. We kindly ask that our guests refrain from wearing sportswear, shorts, or overly casual t-shirts and sandals. A collared shirt for gentlemen and similar attire for ladies is recommended to ensure a refined and enjoyable experience for all of our guests.<\/p>\n"},{"title":"How far in advance do I need to make a reservation?","content":"\n
Due to our intimate seating arrangement and the detailed preparation required for our omakase menu, we highly recommend making reservations at least one to two weeks in advance. For weekend bookings or special occasions, we suggest booking even earlier to secure your preferred date. Reservations can be made easily through our website or by telephone with our staff.<\/p>\n"},{"title":"Can the omakase menu accommodate specific dietary restrictions?","content":"\n
Yes, our chefs can often accommodate certain dietary restrictions, such as gluten intolerance or shellfish allergies, with sufficient advance notice. Because the menu is carefully planned, it is essential that you inform us of any specific requirements at the time of booking. This allows our culinary team the time to create suitable and equally delicious alternative dishes for you.<\/p>\n"}],"is_featured":false,"featured_image":{"width":2000,"height":1500,"file":"2025\/08\/japanese-cuisine.jpg","filesize":318870,"sizes":{"medium":{"file":"japanese-cuisine-300x225.jpg","width":300,"height":225,"filesize":22772,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/wp.favdevs.net\/tourex\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/japanese-cuisine-300x225.jpg"},"large":{"file":"japanese-cuisine-1024x768.jpg","width":1024,"height":768,"filesize":164295,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/wp.favdevs.net\/tourex\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/japanese-cuisine-1024x768.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"file":"japanese-cuisine-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"filesize":9780,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/wp.favdevs.net\/tourex\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/japanese-cuisine-150x150.jpg"},"medium_large":{"file":"japanese-cuisine-768x576.jpg","width":768,"height":576,"filesize":103256,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/wp.favdevs.net\/tourex\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/japanese-cuisine-768x576.jpg"},"trip-thumb-size":{"file":"japanese-cuisine-374x226.jpg","width":374,"height":226,"filesize":28130,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/wp.favdevs.net\/tourex\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/japanese-cuisine-374x226.jpg"},"destination-thumb-size":{"file":"japanese-cuisine-600x810.jpg","width":600,"height":810,"filesize":115810,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/wp.favdevs.net\/tourex\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/japanese-cuisine-600x810.jpg"},"destination-thumb-trip-size":{"file":"japanese-cuisine-410x250.jpg","width":410,"height":250,"filesize":32971,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/wp.favdevs.net\/tourex\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/japanese-cuisine-410x250.jpg"},"activities-thumb-size":{"file":"japanese-cuisine-600x810.jpg","width":600,"height":810,"filesize":115810,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/wp.favdevs.net\/tourex\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/japanese-cuisine-600x810.jpg"},"trip-single-size":{"file":"japanese-cuisine-990x490.jpg","width":990,"height":490,"filesize":116514,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/wp.favdevs.net\/tourex\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/japanese-cuisine-990x490.jpg"},"blog-sidebar-size":{"file":"japanese-cuisine-100x100.jpg","width":100,"height":100,"filesize":5117,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/wp.favdevs.net\/tourex\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/japanese-cuisine-100x100.jpg"},"home-slider-blog-image":{"file":"japanese-cuisine-387x320.jpg","width":387,"height":320,"filesize":37960,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/wp.favdevs.net\/tourex\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/japanese-cuisine-387x320.jpg"},"home-slider-blog-image-one":{"file":"japanese-cuisine-290x260.jpg","width":290,"height":260,"filesize":25943,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/wp.favdevs.net\/tourex\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/japanese-cuisine-290x260.jpg"},"home-slider-blog-image-three":{"file":"japanese-cuisine-387x250.jpg","width":387,"height":250,"filesize":31452,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/wp.favdevs.net\/tourex\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/japanese-cuisine-387x250.jpg"},"home-slider-blog-image-four":{"file":"japanese-cuisine-314x228.jpg","width":314,"height":228,"filesize":24001,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/wp.favdevs.net\/tourex\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/japanese-cuisine-314x228.jpg"},"home-slider-blog-image-five":{"file":"japanese-cuisine-370x424.jpg","width":370,"height":424,"filesize":48076,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/wp.favdevs.net\/tourex\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/japanese-cuisine-370x424.jpg"},"tourex-related-post-size":{"file":"japanese-cuisine-270x314.jpg","width":270,"height":314,"filesize":29682,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/wp.favdevs.net\/tourex\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/japanese-cuisine-270x314.jpg"},"tourex-class-post":{"file":"japanese-cuisine-360x306.jpg","width":360,"height":306,"filesize":34800,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/wp.favdevs.net\/tourex\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/japanese-cuisine-360x306.jpg"},"tourex-class-post-two":{"file":"japanese-cuisine-230x230.jpg","width":230,"height":230,"filesize":19670,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/wp.favdevs.net\/tourex\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/japanese-cuisine-230x230.jpg"},"1536x1536":{"file":"japanese-cuisine-1536x1152.jpg","width":1536,"height":1152,"filesize":322916,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/wp.favdevs.net\/tourex\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/japanese-cuisine-1536x1152.jpg"},"woocommerce_thumbnail":{"file":"japanese-cuisine-300x300.jpg","width":300,"height":300,"filesize":30652,"uncropped":false,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/wp.favdevs.net\/tourex\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/japanese-cuisine-300x300.jpg"},"woocommerce_single":{"file":"japanese-cuisine-600
