The Benefits of Private Rooms That Provide Peace of Mind Even for Large Groups

When hosting large banquets, the surrounding environment is often the biggest concern. Our restaurant features private rooms with sunken hearths that can accommodate up to 48 guests, allowing even large groups to enjoy a sense of togetherness. The fact that all seating is in private rooms offers the major advantage of blocking out outside noise and ensuring that conversations among guests aren’t interrupted. A space that guarantees privacy is especially essential for business dinners and large gatherings. The sunken hearth seating, where guests can stretch out and relax, helps prevent fatigue even during long stays and provides an environment where everyone can feel comfortable. Although located in the bustling neighborhood of Shibuya, the moment you step inside, you’ll find a space filled with calm and tranquility—an atmosphere that is sure to elevate the quality of your gathering.
Balancing Budget Management and Customer Satisfaction with Banquet Menus

For event planners, putting together a program that delivers high satisfaction while staying within budget is a key mission. Our restaurant offers a variety of plans, such as the “Sukiyaki Course” and the “Japanese-Western Fusion Course.” A major advantage of these courses is that they include a 2-hour all-you-can-drink option, allowing you to host your banquet without worrying about additional charges. Additionally, you can choose from two all-you-can-drink plans—“Standard” and “Premium”—allowing for flexible adjustments to suit the purpose of your gathering and your budget. The number and variety of dishes are substantial—ranging from 8 to 9 courses—ensuring a satisfying experience for all guests. Since we offer numerous plans that guarantee a private room, the peace of mind that comes from having your seating confirmed at the time of reservation is a major benefit for event organizers.
