Peak season in Niseko is here — and if you’re searching “private chef Niseko,” you’re not alone.

This step-by-step guide explains exactly what to share with us and how we confirm your date quickly with a clear, transparent quote.



When to Book (and Date Holds)


  • Peak Season (Dec–Feb): Booking 1–2 months in advance is ideal. If your plans aren’t final yet, we can offer a date hold — a soft reservation while you finalize details.

  • Last-Minute? Ask anyway — depending on ingredient availability, we can often accommodate or adjust the menu creatively.




What to Tell Us (It’s Simple)


Click to open each section for details:


📅 Dates & Party Size

Include both your preferred and backup dates — plus how many adults and children.

🏠 Stay Details

Tell us where you’re staying (hotel, condo, or chalet) and your area — it helps us plan travel and prep timing.

🍣 Menu Preference

Choose your focus: Wagyu & Seafood, Sushi, Izakaya, Kaiseki, or Your Personal Chef (multi-day service).

🥗 Dietary Notes

List any dietary requirements or preferences — vegetarian, vegan, allergies, spice level, salt, or texture.

🍳 Kitchen Details

If known, mention your kitchen type (IH/gas), counter space, or parking access — we adapt easily.

💰 Budget Guideline

Share a budget range if possible — it helps us quote faster and tailor your options.

  1. You send your details.

  2. We reply with availability and a ballpark quote — including menu, travel, and options.

  3. You confirm the plan; we finalize the numbers.

  4. A 50% deposit secures your date, with the balance due by service start.

Common Booking Mistakes (and How to Avoid Them)


💡 Waiting too long in peak season → Start with a date hold.

🍽️ Not sharing dietary info early → Tell us upfront for precision.

👶 Underestimating kids’ needs → Ask for kids’ plates (we can serve them earlier).

❄️ Forgetting weather/transport → In-chalet dining keeps everything on schedule.
