The Omagari fireworks go ahead in light rain, and so do we. If the fireworks go up but the weather makes it impossible to keep dining, we'll prepare your food to take away. If the competition is postponed due to weather or river conditions, the restaurant is postponed to the same new date and your same table is held. If the competition is not held at all, we refund your payment in full.

On the day, the area around the venue is extremely crowded, with hundreds of thousands of visitors. We strongly recommend coming by Shinkansen (about 3.5 hours from Tokyo on the Akita Shinkansen; roughly a 25–30 minute walk from JR Omagari Station). Directions to the meeting point, and parking if you drive, change from year to year with the crowds - we'll email you the latest details before the event, and you're welcome to ask us anything by LINE or phone. We'll make sure you get here without getting lost.

The evening is built around the flow of the fireworks and the etiquette of enjoying them. While the night fireworks are up, we dim the light at your table and our staff stay still, so as not to block anyone's view - we can only move between one firework and the next. That's why the order and timing of the dishes follow the fireworks. Two small requests: please check in at the reception tent between 4:00 PM and no later than 4:30 PM, so you're at your table by the 4:40 PM start; and please understand that individual requests on the menu or timing often can't be accommodated. It's a rhythm unique to this night, out of respect for the fireworks - please enjoy it with us. (Matters of safety, such as allergies, are arranged in advance.)

There is no dress code. The venue is an open-air riverbank. Evenings get cool with the river breeze, so please bring something to layer. You'll be walking on gravel and grass, so comfortable shoes are recommended.

Children are welcome. Elementary-school age and older count as one guest, the same as an adult. Pre-school children who won't be dining aren't counted toward the seats (they may join a table of up to four guests). The fireworks are very loud, so we recommend ear protection for little ones.

Yes. We ask about allergies in advance, and the chef accommodates each guest individually. If you have a serious allergy, please contact us before booking.

We're sorry, but once your booking is complete, we're unable to offer a cancellation or refund for personal reasons - this table is set for this one night alone. If you find you truly can't come, we'd be grateful if you'd let our contact desk know. For weather-related handling (holding your table when postponed, full refund if the competition isn't held), please see Cancellation & Refund.

Added August 16: for bookings made on or after August 16, you may cancel by contacting us via our official LINE within 48 hours of booking and no later than 11:59 PM (JST) on August 28 (a ¥5,000 cancellation fee applies).

Of course. Both the pairings and bar time can be enjoyed entirely non-alcoholic. Fireworks and food are the stars of the night; what's in your glass is tailored to each guest.

You can pay by credit card (via Stripe) or bank transfer. For cards, please check the accepted brands on the payment screen; your receipt can be downloaded from the confirmation email.
To pay by bank transfer, please let us know via Contact. We'll issue an invoice right away and ask for payment within three days.
Receipts and invoices support Japan's qualified-invoice (inbōisu) system, so the evening is well suited to client entertaining and corporate use.
