Wataru serves Edomae-style sushi at a sushi bar in the Ravenna neighborhood of Seattle, at 2400 NE 65th St. The restaurant opened on November 5, 2015, and has continued to operate as a dinner-only, counter-focused omakase spot.
Seatings run Wednesday and Thursday at 7:30 pm, and Friday through Sunday at both 4:30 pm and 7:30 pm. There is no lunch service, and the restaurant is closed Monday and Tuesday. The kitchen also runs a separate weekly takeout service on Thursdays from 5 pm, booked online each Sunday for the following Thursday-through-Sunday pickup window.
Reservations for the sushi bar omakase are handled through Tock and are classified as hard to book. Bookings open exactly one month in advance, releasing at 12:00 am on the first of each month for the following month's dates. Given the single monthly release window and counter-only format, seats are limited and tend to fill quickly once reservations go live.
Wataru falls into the luxury price tier, consistent with a dedicated Edomae sushi counter, though the restaurant's own site excerpt does not list specific course pricing. Diners planning a visit should confirm current pricing, seat count, and any dietary accommodation policies directly with the restaurant, as these details are not published in the available source material. The takeout program offers a lower-commitment alternative for those unable to secure a counter reservation.
