With November Just Around the Corner in Shinjuku: The Best Private Rooms and How to Choose the Right Banquet Plan

Hello. I’m the PR representative for Rakuzo—a restaurant with all-private-room seating—at the Shinjuku East Exit location.

The chilly winter winds have begun to blow, and the city is starting to take on a wintry atmosphere. Today, I’d like to talk about how to choose a private room where you can enjoy a peaceful time without worrying about those around you in the bustling metropolis of Shinjuku, as well as the best way to manage the banquet budget—a common headache for event planners.

 

Optimizing Private Rooms Based on Group Size

Given our location at the East Exit of Shinjuku Station, securing the ideal space tailored to your group size is a key factor in ensuring the success of your banquet. Our restaurant offers a full range of private rooms, from those for two guests to horigotatsu-style private rooms that can accommodate 4, 6, 8, 10, or 12 guests, and even groups of up to 30. For small gatherings, our four private rooms for two each offer a heightened sense of privacy. For department-wide banquets, combinations such as eight private rooms for four or two private rooms for six allow you to create a cohesive space where everyone can see each other’s faces. The sunken-heated-table seating allows guests to stretch out their legs, making it easier to stay comfortable even during long visits and providing an environment where you can focus on conversation. The flexibility that allows event planners to choose the optimal size based on the number of guests is a major strength of our space design, ensuring a comfortable atmosphere for gatherings of any size.

 

Choosing a Set Menu to Fit Your Banquet Budget

When planning a banquet, managing the budget is one of the biggest headaches for the organizer. At our restaurant, all set menus include a 2-hour all-you-can-drink option, and we’ve established a system that allows you to host your banquet with transparent pricing. For example, if you’re looking for great value, the 《Guaranteed Private Room》【Taste Course】 or the 《Guaranteed Private Room》【All-Chicken Course】 are ideal choices. If you’re seeking a more luxurious experience, we offer options such as the 《Guaranteed Private Room》【Four Seasons Kaiseki Course】 and the 《Guaranteed Private Room》【Japanese-Western Fusion Course】. Additionally, if you’d like to strengthen bonds while sharing a hot pot, we offer the “Guaranteed Private Room” [White Offal Hot Pot Course] and the “Guaranteed Private Room” [Taiwanese Offal Hot Pot Course]; for those who want to savor the rich flavor of meat, we also have the “Guaranteed Private Room” [Sukiyaki Course]. Furthermore, even for all-you-can-drink plans alone, there are options such as 《Guaranteed Private Room》【Standard】 and 《Guaranteed Private Room》【Premium】. By flexibly combining these options to fit your budget, you can host a fulfilling banquet within your budget while maintaining the added value of a private room.
