The Peace of Mind That a Private Space Brings

All of our seating is in private rooms. Although we’re located in the bustling area right in front of Kyoto Station, once you close the door, you’ll be enveloped in a tranquility that lets you forget the hustle and bustle outside. This environment allows you to focus on your conversation with the person across from you without worrying about prying eyes, making it the perfect setting for special occasions—whether it’s an important business dinner or a celebration with loved ones. The interior design, which emphasizes traditional Japanese aesthetics, features subdued lighting and the warmth of wood, gently soothing both the mind and body of our guests. Please experience the luxury of conversing to your heart’s content in a private space where you will not be disturbed by anyone. This exclusive setting, shared only among a select few, is sure to greatly enhance the enjoyment of your gathering.
Fostering a Sense of Unity by Choosing a Private Room Based on Group Size

When hosting large gatherings, there’s often concern that seats will be spread out, disrupting conversation. However, our private rooms feature an exquisite design that strikes the perfect balance—neither too spacious nor too cramped. We offer a full range of private rooms, from those for two guests to rooms accommodating four, six, seven, and even up to 12 or 14 guests, and we’ll guide you to the ideal space based on your party size. Even for large gatherings, our private rooms are designed so that everyone can see each other’s faces and enjoy conversation together, ensuring a sense of unity is never lost. For the event organizer, knowing that all participants can share the same experience in a comfortable setting provides great peace of mind. By selecting the private room that best suits your group size, your gathering will become both more enjoyable and more functional.
A Special Evening Enhanced by a Variety of Dishes

We offer a wide variety of banquet courses to suit your budget and needs. Plans such as the “Ajiwai Course,” “All-Chicken Course,” and “Carefully Selected Course”—which all guarantee a private room—are available at great value, making them attractive options for those seeking a satisfying experience while staying within budget. Additionally, if you’d like to foster a sense of togetherness by sharing a hot pot meal, the “White Offal Hot Pot Course” and “Taiwanese Offal Hot Pot Course” are ideal choices. For gatherings on special occasions, you can create a memorable culinary experience by choosing luxurious plans such as the 8-course “Four Seasons Kaiseki Course,” the 7-course “Sukiyaki Course,” or the “Japanese-Western Fusion Course.” These courses are served in a carefully planned sequence, from appetizers to dessert, making it easy for the event organizer to manage the flow and ensuring that all participants can share the same experience at the same time—a major advantage.
