Kotan is an eight-seat Edomae sushi counter tucked into Sakurazaka, in Fukuoka's Chuo Ward. The restaurant serves both lunch and dinner, though lunch hours run on an irregular schedule while dinner is offered Monday and Thursday through Sunday from 5:30pm to 10:30pm. The kitchen is closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
The omakase runs ¥29,700 per person, tax included, with the final price shifting slightly depending on seasonal ingredients. Reservations are handled exclusively through omakase.in, which adds a ¥390 booking fee per seat. Booking windows open roughly 30 days ahead of service, and each guest is limited to one reservation per month.
Diners are asked to arrive without strong perfume or cologne and to pass that request along to anyone joining them. Cancellations made within three days of the reservation are charged in full. Children are welcome starting from junior high school age, provided they can eat the same course as the adults at the table. Payment is accepted by cash or card, and smoking is not permitted inside. Those who want to bring their own sake or wine should ask ahead, since corkage is arranged case by case.
The restaurant sits in a residential pocket of Chuo Ward near Sakurazaka. With only eight counter seats and a monthly limit on bookings, reserving a spot takes some advance planning through the omakase.in portal.
