Got it, that's helpful to know on the current status of both Jiro locations, though if the Roppongi location's food is still just as great as ever, I might just go and be one of those annoying foreigners there for the Jiro experience.

On your point about preferring to work with concierges from the hotels you listed, that was my exact concern. Within the Marriott Bonvoy hotels, which ones would you consider in that category? I figured it was probably the RC, the two Editions, the Bulgari hotel, and the Prince Gallery Kioicho? Unfortunately for me, the only way I will be staying at hotels of the caliber you listed in the near term is a points redemption for a top Bonvoy hotel...
Ritz and Bulgari would be better options - I know the Westin was banned from making reservations at Jiro for awhile, but that was some years ago, I don't know if anything has changed.
