Early Dec. kaiseki in Tokyo

mirugai

Will be in Tokyo early December for a very brief trip. Considering Myoujaku or Ensui for a meal. Sadly just not enough time for more than one kaiseki meal given my other plans. I know both have been discussed on TTT before, but a couple of specific small questions for the group:
1. If I book Myoujaku on Omakase am I likely to be at the second counter rather than the first? Does it matter?
2. I may end up doing the "early 'dinner' at 5, second meal later" trick, to maximize meals on a short trip. Are either or both of these restaurants a particularly bad idea with such a plan? i.e. will I eat there at 5 and have no desire at all to eat much later on?
Thanks for any thoughts! If it matters, Ishikawa and Miyasaka are probably my top two Tokyo kaiseki meals in the past; I'm open-minded about style.

Glad to be of service! For Myoujyaku, they do have private rooms but I don't think they really use the second counter. So if you get a booking, it should be at the first counter? I personally have never done two dinner back-to-back but Myoujyaku's menu is manageable and not as filling as some like Yamazaki. I like Ishikawa a lot too but Myoujyaku will be quite different. Myoujyaku seems to be more focused on using techniques to bring out the original flavours of the ingredients. Ishikawa has some interesting combinations but food is more traditional

I booked Myoujaku on Omakase and got the first counter too. Also, it seems to me that Myoujaku is one of those places where most of the cooking is done by the cooks in the back, so even if you get a private room, it's not a great loss. It's not one of those places where the chef cooks and plates every dish in front of you.

The style of cooking is quite light, so you can probably manage a second ramen/burger/something smaller after if you really want, haha.
