Common questions
How far in advance should I contact Mina-ya to secure a date for my event?
While specific lead times aren't published, contacting them at +81 3-4288-8014 during business hours (Monday-Saturday, 9 AM-5 PM) allows you to discuss availability directly. For major events or weekends, booking 4-6 weeks ahead is typically recommended with Tokyo catering services to ensure menu availability and staffing confirmation.
Do they accommodate dietary restrictions like vegetarian, vegan, halal, or allergy-specific menus?
This information isn't detailed on their basic listing. Contact them directly to discuss your specific dietary needs, event size, and whether they can customize menus. Their website at https://www.minayainc.com/ may have menu examples, or phone consultation can clarify customization options.
What is typically included in catering packages—just food, or also setup, staffing, and rentals?
Catering packages vary significantly. Before requesting quotes, ask Mina-ya specifically whether their pricing covers food only, staffing/service, setup/breakdown, equipment rental, or if these are itemized separately. This prevents unexpected costs and ensures accurate budget planning.
Can they handle both indoor venues and outdoor/garden events in the Tokyo area?
Confirm their experience with your specific venue type and location. Ask about weather contingencies, delivery logistics, and any venue-specific limitations. Tokyo's compact spaces and varied venues mean clarifying setup requirements prevents day-of complications.
How do they handle payment terms and cancellation policies?
Payment schedules, deposit requirements, and cancellation terms should be discussed during your initial consultation. Request their standard policies in writing to protect both your event planning timeline and budget contingencies.
Are there seasonal menu variations or does pricing differ by menu type?
Ask whether they offer seasonal menus, prix fixe packages, or à la carte options. Understanding their menu structure and whether certain cuisines or ingredients affect pricing helps you develop realistic budget proposals for clients.
