I will paypal you U.S. $20 to (phone) make a reservation for me and a friend at a restaurant. I am willing to take a chance and pay up front. It should take anyone who speaks Japanese less than ten minutes.
My Japanese is better in person - the idea of trying to make myself understood, and to understand someone, on the telephone is unpleasant. The place is a somewhat provincial izakaya so I don't want to test their patience. Yes I know izakayas don't usually make reservations but I need to make an effort to, first. The restaurant is in Utsunomiya City, Tochi Prefecture.
I will be in the area on Dec. 29th (Monday) and am interested to:
1. Know if this place is open for lunch. If so, then a reservation for 12noon for two people on Dec. 30th (Tuesday)
2. If open for dinner only, then a reservation for 7pm for two people on Dec. 29th (Monday.)
3. The name for the reservation is Jason (I'm an American if that helps with them noting my identity when I get there.)
Please PM me if you can do it, with the pertinent payment info and I will send you the restaurant name, address, phone #, etc.
Thanks!
Jason
