  2. Aim at a Tuesday. Tuesdays are the softest night on Omakase by Kanemaru's calendar in our data, open 99% of the times we checked, against 77% on Fridays. Shifting the day is usually worth more than shifting the month.

Resy restaurants usually work on a rolling window: one new day appears at the far edge of the calendar each night, and cancellations return tables at no fixed time.

Can you walk in at Omakase by Kanemaru?

Many rooms do hold a few seats for walk-ins, often early or at the bar, so it is worth calling ahead. If you would rather lock in a table, star Omakase by Kanemaru and we will email you the moment a reservation opens.
Is using a reservation alert legal?
Yes. SnagRes only notifies you when a table opens; the booking itself is an ordinary reservation you make yourself on Resy, under your own name. It does not resell tables, run bots to hold them, or automate the booking, so it does not cross the lines a resale or auto-booking service does.
Does SnagRes book Omakase by Kanemaru for me?
No. SnagRes tells you the moment a table opens at Omakase by Kanemaru and links you straight to Resy with the date prefilled, then you complete the reservation yourself. It never logs into your account and never books on your behalf, which is what keeps your account in good standing.
