A Must-Read for Event Organizers! How to Choose a Private Room Based on Group Size and Purpose

When planning a banquet in the Umeda area, the biggest concern is often whether guests will be able to converse without worrying about those around them. Taking advantage of our unique feature—that every seat is in a private room—we offer private rooms with sunken hearths that can accommodate groups ranging from 2 to 36 guests. Whether it’s a small business gathering or a group of up to 20 people, we’ll guide you to the perfect space tailored to your group size. The sunken hearth seating ensures your legs stay comfortable even during extended stays. By providing a private space that blocks out surrounding noise, we offer a relaxed atmosphere that helps bring your guests closer together. Please feel free to consult our staff regarding the size and layout of the space when making your reservation. We will arrange the most suitable private room to suit the purpose of your gathering.
Smooth Party Planning with an All-You-Can-Drink Plan

Choosing an all-you-can-drink plan is key to ensuring your banquet runs smoothly. We offer two all-you-can-drink plans that guarantee a private room: the “Standard” plan, featuring approximately 60 varieties, and the “Premium” plan, featuring approximately 100 varieties. Even if your guests have different preferences, the Premium plan offers a wide selection to choose from, giving event planners peace of mind. The all-you-can-drink service is limited to two hours. In the privacy of a private room, ordering refills requires minimal effort—there’s no need to call for a server—so you can continue enjoying your time together without interrupting the conversation. Having a wide variety of alcoholic beverages is a major advantage for banquets with a diverse group of guests. By providing a drink selection that satisfies everyone, we ensure a higher level of satisfaction for the entire event.
The Optimal Approach to Course Selection That Balances Budget and Satisfaction

Managing the budget for a banquet is a crucial responsibility for the event organizer. Our restaurant offers a wide range of set menus, priced from 4,300 yen to 7,300 yen. For example, you can flexibly choose from options such as the “Taste Course,” which prioritizes value for money, or the “Japanese-Western Fusion Course” for those seeking a more luxurious experience, depending on your budget. Furthermore, all courses come with a guaranteed private room, so no matter which plan you choose, a private space is assured. Our menus are carefully curated to reflect the seasons and feature high-quality ingredients, aiming to delight all your guests. By selecting the optimal course that balances your budget with guest satisfaction, you’re sure to earn high praise as the event organizer. We’ll be happy to propose the best plan tailored to your budget and preferred culinary style, so please feel free to contact us.
