I am not into this 'segregation' habit at all, regardless of the reason, so we will ask the concierge to confirm if this is the case, and if we're going to be seated to the side, I will put Take as the priority choice.

Have you heard anything about them doing seating this way? We've never encountered this at Sushi Taichi, but then again we've never seen another non-Japanese guest there before.
