Weekend 11:30–17:00 Reservations Are Guided to the Shinsaibashi Branch
At Kuroge Wagyu Yakiniku Zen Namba Dotonbori, if you wish to reserve a table on weekends or holidays between 11:30 and 17:00, the official rule is that you will be guided to the Shinsaibashi branch. The Dotonbori branch does not accept reservations during this time slot, so if your desired time falls within these hours, you will automatically be directed to use the Shinsaibashi branch.
- Weekend/holiday reservations from 11:30–17:00 → Guided to Shinsaibashi branch
- Dotonbori branch does not accept reservations during this time
Decision Procedure with Specific Time Examples
You can determine whether your desired reservation time falls under the official rule by checking specific examples. For instance, reservations starting at 11:30, 14:00, or 16:30—all within 11:30–17:00—will be guided to the Shinsaibashi branch.
- 11:30 start → Guided to Shinsaibashi branch
- 14:00 start → Guided to Shinsaibashi branch
- 16:30 start → Guided to Shinsaibashi branch
- 17:00 or later start → Reservation possible at Dotonbori branch
120-Minute Usage Rule and Reservation Time Combinations
Reservations are for 120 minutes. For example, if you reserve at 16:30, your usage ends at 18:30, but since the reservation starts at 16:30, you will be guided to the Shinsaibashi branch. If your reservation starts at 17:00 or later, you can book at the Dotonbori branch.
- 16:30 reservation → Guided to Shinsaibashi branch (even if it ends at 18:30, the start time is within the target period)
- 17:00 reservation → Reservation possible at Dotonbori branch (ends at 19:00)
