Hello. I am the PR person in charge of the Matsumoto Ekimae branch of Rakuzo Utage.
We are “Rakuzo Utage Matsumoto Ekimae,” a restaurant located in front of Matsumoto Station that serves Japanese cuisine celebrating the changing seasons. Today, we’d like to introduce our “Seasonal Specials,” a menu available only now to mark the arrival of spring.

The first dish we’d like you to try is “Deep-Fried Spanish Mackerel with Bamboo Shoots.” The refined umami of the Spanish mackerel, which fills your mouth, combined with the refreshing aroma of the bamboo shoots, makes this a dish that truly lets you feel the arrival of spring.
Our “Freshly Seared Bonito Tataki” is seared quickly over high heat to lock in the fish’s natural flavor. Enjoy this refreshing dish with four types of aromatic condiments and a zesty ponzu sauce.

For a snack to go with drinks, we highly recommend the “Spring Shiitake Mushroom Skewers with Prosciutto and Cream Cheese.” Having weathered the harsh winter, these firm shiitake mushrooms release a surprisingly rich umami flavor when grilled. The mellow cream cheese and the saltiness of the prosciutto create an exquisite harmony—a surefire way to make your drinks go down even smoother.
In addition, we’re introducing the visually stunning “Negitoro Yukke Platter with Kimchi-Cheese Sushi Rolls.” We’ve wrapped rice infused with the aroma of sesame oil and various fillings in nori, then generously topped it with negitoro. When you coat it generously with the rich egg yolk sauce, a melt-in-your-mouth flavor spreads throughout.
Rakuzo Utage is a Japanese dining room with all private rooms.
Whether you are with friends, colleagues, business associates, loved ones, or family, you can enjoy yourself without worrying about the eyes of other customers. We are proud of our private rooms, which have a relaxed atmosphere and are well received by our customers for their cozy and comfortable atmosphere. Please use them for your banquets.
Kaiseki courses are available, using an abundance of seasonal delicacies from the mountains and the sea. Private rooms with a relaxed atmosphere are available for important occasions such as meetings with important persons, business associates, and business partners, along with a wide variety of all-you-can-drink options. We have a wide variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages for all-you-can-drink. We are especially proud of our shochu selection. We hope you will use our restaurant for your special occasion.
We look forward to serving you all.
