I have redeemed miles on both ANA and EVA. If there's no availability showing online, calling is unlikely to help.

I do have one suggestion, if you're flexible. If you're currently searching TPE-NRT, try searching "TPE - All Airports" to "TYO - All Airports." There are a significant number of ANA flights from TSA to HND, and availability may be better on those because they're not as useful for connections. (For example, I see three flights on 6/28; two are TSA-HND and one is TPE-NRT).
