Hello. I’m the PR representative for Rakuzo—All-Private-Room Restaurant—at the Abe no Gochiso Building (Tennoji).
In October, when the scent of osmanthus fills the air, the trees lining the streets have begun to change color little by little. Today, we’d like to highlight one of our signature dishes—a menu item with a surprising twist—and share its charm along with a new way to enjoy it in a private room.

The Unexpected Culinary Attention to Detail Hidden in the Signature Dishes
Our signature dishes, beloved by so many, are actually the result of our chefs’ meticulous attention to detail. For example, our “sukiyaki”—the centerpiece of our banquet courses—goes far beyond being just another hot pot dish; we take great care in the cooking process to bring out the maximum umami from our carefully selected ingredients. Similarly, dishes such as “White Offal Hot Pot” and “Taiwanese Offal Hot Pot” are crafted to strike a balance between the depth of the broth and the texture of the ingredients, aiming for a finish that offers a new discovery with every bite. These dishes have drawn expressions of surprise from many of our guests, as they do more than simply satisfy hunger—they serve as a way to rediscover the true potential of the ingredients. We invite you to visit our restaurant and experience for yourself just how much a single cooking technique can transform the flavor of a dish.
Rediscover the New Facets of Cuisine in a Private Room
An environment where every seat is in a private room provides the perfect setting for gaining a deeper appreciation of the flavors of our cuisine. By focusing on each dish in a quiet space without worrying about the stares of others, you’ll be able to notice subtle changes in flavor and aroma that you might normally overlook. Our private rooms, accommodating groups of 2 to 18 guests, serve not only as a place for conversation with loved ones but also as a hideaway where you can explore the finer details of the cuisine on your own. Spending time leisurely savoring our signature dishes in a space removed from the hustle and bustle of the city is sure to offer you a new perspective on dining. It is precisely because of the private setting of a private room that you can take the time to carefully observe the temperature of the dishes and the beauty of their presentation, enjoying a luxurious moment as you rediscover their depth.
Unexpected Culinary Discoveries Through Banquet Menus
Our banquet courses are designed to let you experience our signature dishes in the most efficient and appealing way possible. With a diverse lineup—including the “Taste Course” and the “All-Chicken Course”—each course presents a unique culinary story. In particular, the “Japanese-Western Fusion Course” allows you to enjoy the unexpected harmony created by the fusion of different culinary genres, serving as an opportunity to broaden your culinary horizons. Additionally, since all courses include all-you-can-drink, they can also be used as a testing ground for experimenting with drink pairings that complement the dishes. For event planners, set-menu courses offer peace of mind with their clear pricing, and since all participants share the same culinary surprises, they help create a banquet with a strong sense of unity. Why not let yourself be guided by the carefully crafted sequence of courses designed by our professionals and spend an evening filled with unexpected culinary discoveries?
