Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: April 17, 2026
Some pages on Japan Bites contain affiliate links. If you click a reservation link and complete a booking, we may earn a commission — at no extra cost to you.
What this means for editorial independence
Affiliate relationships have zero influence on which shops appear on this site, how they are scored, or what we write about them.
Selection is based solely on objective third-party recognition — Michelin, Tabelog, TRY awards, and similar public criteria. A shop cannot improve its placement by any commercial arrangement with us. See our Methodology for the full scoring criteria.
Which links may be affiliate links
"Reserve a table" buttons on shop detail pages link to third-party booking platforms such as TableCheck, Pocket Concierge, and 一休 (ikyu). These links may carry affiliate tracking parameters. Each such link is accompanied by a disclosure note directly below the button.
Links to Tabelog, Michelin Guide, and other reference sources used for fact-checking are not affiliate links.
