Why book with TableCheck?
Navigating the Japanese culinary scene can be intimidating due to the language barrier. TableCheck, however, makes the booking process smooth and simple for non-Japanese speakers, offering English, Chinese (both traditional and simplified), Korean, and Thai language support.
What’s more, TableCheck gives users broader access to the world of Japanese dining, as we work with a wide array of restaurants, including those that do not have multilingual websites and/or reservation forms of their own.
Our system is directly integrated with our partner restaurants’ reservation management systems, which means that availabilities are accurately reflected in real time. Forget about the anxiety of waiting for a support agent to secure a reservation for you, or the hassle of back-and-forth communication should your preferred dates and times be unavailable. Save time and enjoy peace of mind as you directly make your booking with the restaurant, all on your own.
Still not convinced? We’ll let the restaurants on our list do the talking!
Up to 40 participating world-class restaurants
From Michelin-featured establishments to yakiniku places with a more relaxed vibe, here are just some of the restaurants that you can book through TableCheck’s Dine with Visa campaign. More participating restaurants await in this carefully curated list.
Please note, however, that the list is subject to change without prior notice. While more restaurants may be added for a total of up to 40 at a time, some may end their participation in this campaign earlier—all the more reason to book as soon as possible!
Sushi Ohtani (Tokyo)
)
Innovative takes on sushi that still remain true to time-honored traditions are in store at Sushi Ohtani, a sleek restaurant tucked away in Tokyo’s Akasaka business district. Chef Ohtani makes full use of his experience working in Japan and overseas as he whips up sushi in his signature namesake style called Ohtani-mae, with unique choices such as the use of a rare type of rice called Yukihotaka. You’ll be in for a treat with the aptly named “Revisiting Tradition, Embracing Innovation” omakase course.
Ginza Ichibun (Tokyo)
)
The omakase courses at Ginza Ichibun are a testament to chef Takeshi Ogawa’s mastery of Edomae-style sushi-making techniques. The calming ambiance at this intimate nine-seat restaurant is perfect for savoring exquisite sushi made with premium ingredients such as Akita Komachi rice. What’s more, though Chef Ogawa takes pride in honoring Japan’s culinary traditions, you can also expect sushi and creative appetizers made with modern techniques such as low-temperature cooking.
Ushigoro Nishiazabu Flagship Shop (Tokyo)
)
At the flagship shop of the Yakiniku Ushigoro chain of mid-range to upscale yakiniku barbecue restaurants, you’ll find no less than finely marbled, melt-in-your-mouth A5-rank wagyu. Ushigoro is also known for its beef fillet cutlet sandwich—and the good news is that this guest favorite is included in this restaurant’s Visa-exclusive menus.
Rokkasen Shinjuku West Exit Main Branch (Tokyo)
)
Indulge in all-you-can-eat yakiniku at the main branch of Rokkasen, a mid-range yakiniku chain whose branches are all in the Shinjuku area. Choose from multiple courses to suit various budgets, with courses on the higher end including premium wagyu breeds such as Kobe and/or Matsusaka. In addition to yakiniku, Rokkasen also offers shabu-shabu hotpot and sukiyaki beef hotpot courses.
Kyoto Hyoto Kyoto Station Main Store (Kyoto)
)
With branches across Kyoto and Tokyo, the shabu-shabu chain Kyoto Hyoto takes pride in its umami-rich dipping broth made with plenty of dashi soup stock, a foundational ingredient in Kyoto-style kaiseki and Japanese cuisine in general. Together, the dipping broth, thinly sliced domestic pork, and a heaping of spring onions make for a hearty and delicious combination.
Kaiseki: Yakumo Uezu (Tokyo)
)
Featured in the Michelin Guide 2025 and receiving a Michelin star for the first time is Yakumo Uezu. Located in a low-key neighborhood in Meguro, the restaurant has been lauded for its imaginative kaiseki courses that break the mold by using Western ingredients like caviar and truffle, as well as ingredients associated with Okinawan cuisine such as brown sugar and miso from Miyakojima Island.
Nijojo Furuta (Kyoto)
)
In a traditional Japanese house close to the famous Nijo Castle, the Michelin-starred Nijojo Furuta serves seasonal kaiseki courses, usually with masterfully prepared and arranged fish taking center stage. One example of a dish it takes pride in is hon-maguro (bluefin tuna) sashimi smoked with rice straw and garnished with shiso (perilla) flower.
Daikanyama Issai Kassai (Tokyo)
)
Featured in the 2024–2025 Michelin Guide is Daikanyama Issai Kassai, which serves seasonal fare and creative interpretations of Japanese favorites like Japanese-style potato salad with smoked eggs and bacon in a casual izakaya tavern-like setting. The intimate counter-style seating here not only facilitates great conversations, but also allows guests to watch how the food is prepared.
KŌSA (Kyoto)
)
The freshest seasonal produce from local farmers are at the core of the farm-to-table restaurant KŌSA, which overlooks a garden brimming with seasonal beauty. Described as “Californian Kyoto,” its cuisine features local ingredients such as Kujo scallions, nanohana, and wagyu beef prepared and arranged with a fusion of Japanese and Western techniques. Also not to be missed are KŌSA’s original cocktails and curated selection of natural wines.

)

This special offer is separate from Dine with Visa in Japan 2025, which means that this campaign features a completely different list of restaurants, serving not only quintessentially Japanese dishes like sushi and wagyu beef, but also some fairly unique specializations.
Taste the flavors of Japan’s warm and sunny southernmost prefecture without leaving Tokyo at the Michelin-starred Okinawa Kaiseki Akasaka Tantei, go for French-inspired cuisine at Restaurant Perfumes, or discover a different side to pop-culture haven Akihabara on a visit to Aso, a refined sushi restaurant in the area.
These are just some of the many standout choices on the list—have a look now to book a restaurant that catches your fancy! Supported languages for this campaign are English and Traditional Chinese.
