Hello. I’m the PR representative for Rakuzo Utage, the Tennoji Apollo Building branch, where every seat is in a private room.
As we enter the month of Shimotsuki, the air in the city has grown increasingly chilly. Today, as we sense the arrival of winter, we’d like to share some tips on how to make your gatherings with loved ones even more special—featuring exclusive course menus and ways to make the most of your dining space.

The Appeal of Limited-Edition Courses That Add Color to Winter Celebrations

As the winter chill really sets in, there’s nothing quite like gathering around a warm hot pot meal. At our restaurant, we offer the “White Offal Hot Pot Course” and the “Taiwanese Offal Hot Pot Course,” both featuring eight dishes, to provide you with a moment of warmth for both body and soul. In addition, our 7-course “Sukiyaki Course” features a luxurious selection perfect for gatherings on special occasions, ensuring a deeply satisfying experience for all guests. From ingredient selection to the finest details of preparation, these courses are crafted with the utmost care by our chefs, adding a touch of elegance to any celebration. The sense of togetherness that comes from gathering around the same hot pot while feeling the changing seasons is a unique delight of winter banquets. Through these exclusive plans, we will create a dining experience that will remain in your memories.
The Sense of Exclusivity That a Private Space Brings

The reason we are committed to providing private rooms for every table is our desire to offer an environment where guests can focus fully on conversations with their loved ones without worrying about prying eyes. Our private rooms with sunken hearths, which can accommodate groups ranging from 2 to 36 guests, are fully enclosed with doors, ensuring complete privacy. This space is ideal for important business meetings or candid conversations among close friends. The sunken hearth seating allows you to stretch out your legs comfortably, so you won’t feel tired even during long stays. One of our restaurant’s greatest strengths is this environment, where you can forget the hustle and bustle of the city and focus on conversation in a calm atmosphere. Despite its prime location in the Tennoji Apollo Building, the moment you step inside, you’ll be enveloped in tranquility.
Cheerful Banquet Plans to Support Event Organizers

To ensure a successful banquet, transparency in budget management is just as essential as the quality of the food. Our restaurant offers a wide selection of set menus that include all-you-can-drink options, and we’ve established a system that allows event planners to run the event smoothly without having to worry about complicated calculations. Each course, priced between 4,000 and 7,000 yen, has a clearly defined number of dishes and menu items, allowing you to select the plan that best suits your group’s size and preferences. Additionally, you can choose from two all-you-can-drink plans—"Standard" (approximately 60 varieties) and "Premium" (approximately 100 varieties)—allowing for flexible adjustments based on the composition and preferences of your guests. By eliminating concerns about additional charges and ensuring transparent billing, event organizers can focus on running the party with peace of mind. We believe the ideal banquet is one that optimizes budget management and provides a dining experience that satisfies every guest.
