Hello. I’m the PR representative for Rakuzo—all-private-room restaurant—Morioka Odori Branch.
These days, as I gaze at the high, clear clouds in the lingering summer sky, I can really feel the seasons changing. Today, as we bid a fond farewell to summer, I’d like to introduce the pairings of dishes made with seasonal ingredients and fine drinks that you can enjoy in our private dining rooms—a feature we’re particularly proud of.

Savor the Last Days of Summer with These Carefully Crafted Pork Belly Skewers
We’ve prepared a menu packed with energy to help you shake off the fatigue of summer. Our “Yamagata Pork Belly Skewers with Kimchi Sauce” is a dish where the sweetness of Yamagata pork fat and the spicy kick of kimchi blend together perfectly. Pair this robust flavor with a crisp “Bacardi Highball” or a refreshing “Yuzu Honey Highball” to leave your palate feeling clean and refreshed. Additionally, the “Yamagata Pork Pork Belly Skewers with Salt and Wasabi,” also made with Yamagata pork, is a masterpiece showcasing the chef’s meticulous grilling technique, where the wasabi’s flavor further enhances the pork’s umami. Spending time chatting in the calm atmosphere of a private room—biting into piping-hot skewers while sipping a chilled drink—is a luxurious way to round off a summer evening.
Colorful small plates that delight the palate
Small plates that you can enjoy little by little between drinks are a hidden favorite on our menu. Our “Spicy and Numbing Zha Cai and Wood Ear Mushroom Salad” features a crunchy texture and a spicy, numbing kick that’s hard to resist—a dish designed to keep the drinks flowing. Additionally, the refreshing “Komatsuna Greens Tossed with Young Squid” and the “Radish Sprouts with Bonito Flakes,” with its unique texture, are perfect as palate cleansers. Placed in the center of the table, these dishes encourage natural sharing without interrupting conversation. Furthermore, pairing them with fried dishes like “Cheese Tempura” and “Crispy Fried Japanese Mountain Yam” creates a contrast in textures and adds even more vibrancy to the table. Please enjoy your meal to your heart’s content by sharing small portions of our diverse menu alongside your favorite drinks.
A Relaxing Experience for Adults in a Private Room
The greatest value our restaurant offers lies in the “immersive experience” created by our all-private-room setting. These private spaces, isolated from the hustle and bustle of the outside world, transform conversations with your loved ones into deeper, more meaningful exchanges. In particular, our private rooms with sunken kotatsu tables, where you can stretch out your legs comfortably, are highly praised by many guests for allowing them to relax and focus on their meal without feeling tired, even during extended stays. Whether for important business dinners or anniversary celebrations, this space—where tranquility and privacy are guaranteed—serves as a major point of differentiation that you won’t find at other restaurants. We strive to provide service that resonates with our guests, offering not just delicious food but a complete “experience” that encompasses the atmosphere and comfort of the setting. We invite you to spend a special evening with us, where you can leave your daily routine behind and find fulfillment for both body and mind.
