While I still made a reservation to dine at Alinea a few weeks from now, I did it with far more hesitation due to some of the shortcomings you noted.

Despite my native language not being Japanese, I was still able to get a seat by reserving in person, which means going to their restaurant after a day of shopping in the GInza district, a stone throw's from Jiro. It's actually not the first time I tried reserving up front. I got rejected several times when I first came to Japan, perhaps due to my poor Japanese, but finally nailed it after my third attempt. It may be that my Japanese improved over the years, but in my opinion, it's still far from fluent. Perhaps they opened up more to the public recently? Give it another try as you never know what to expect. By the way, the service was excellent, at least in my dining experience. Just watch out for that huge bill at the end ;) PS: Dined at Sushi Mizutani tonight, which reminded me of this post :) To Pumhiran: I live in Japan and have only been to Sukiyabashi Jiro once during my four years here.
