The Perfect Solution for Enjoying Cool, Private Rooms and Seasonal Delicacies in Yokohama During the Scorching Summer

Hello. I’m the PR representative for Rakuzo Utage, the all-private-room restaurant located in front of Yokohama West Exit Station.

With the intense sunshine continuing day after day, we’ve entered the season when you can truly feel the height of summer. For those looking to escape the heat outside and enjoy a cool, relaxing atmosphere, the combination of our private rooms and a menu featuring seasonal summer ingredients is the perfect way to enhance your summer evenings.

 

 

Enjoy a Comfortable Summer in the Privacy of Your Own Space

Despite our location right in front of Yokohama Station, our restaurant features private rooms for every table. To soothe your body weary from the summer heat, there’s nothing better than stepping away from the hustle and bustle and relaxing in a space all to yourselves. From quiet conversations in small groups to lively banquets with large parties, we have the perfect private room to suit your group size. Our sunken kotatsu-style seating allows you to stretch out and relax comfortably, so you won’t feel tired even during extended stays. Spending time in a cool, air-conditioned private room, enjoying chilled drinks and our carefully crafted dishes, is a luxurious way to spend your time that’s unique to this season. Whether it’s a business dinner or a meal with someone special, please relax to your heart’s content in a space where your privacy is assured.

 

 

A Culinary Harmony of Yamagata Pork’s Rich Flavor and Summer Vegetables

Summer is a time when your appetite tends to wane, but that’s exactly when it’s important to enjoy dishes that highlight the natural flavors of the ingredients. At our restaurant, we offer “Salt & Wasabi Pork Belly Skewers” and “Kimchi Sauce Pork Belly Skewers” made with Yamagata pork. The sweetness of Yamagata pork’s fat, combined with the refreshing spiciness of wasabi and the zing of kimchi, will stimulate your appetite and help replenish your energy. Additionally, small-plate dishes like our seasonal “Assorted Pickles” and “Blanched Broccoli” are perfect for taking a break between courses. Furthermore, we offer a selection of dishes characterized by a spicy kick—such as “Sichuan-style Zha Cai and Wood Ear Mushrooms” and “Endless Spicy Carrots”—that are perfect as snacks to accompany your drinks. These dishes are sure to give you the energy you need to beat the summer heat.

A cold drink to quench your thirst is a must on summer nights. We offer a wide variety of highballs, starting with our classic “Black Nikka Highball.” In particular, our “Tokunoshima Island Mandarin Highball” from Tokunoshima, Kagoshima Prefecture, and our “Domestic Shine Muscat Highball” are perfect for summer—their refreshing fruity aromas will make you forget the heat. You can also enjoy unique flavors such as the shochu-based “≪Sweet Potato≫ Daiyame Soda” and “≪Barley≫ Chill Highball.” Furthermore, our gin-based “Midori Gin Soda” and “Kino-bi Soda” feature botanical aromas that create a refreshing sensation, perfectly complementing your summer evening meal. Finding your favorite highball and taking the time to savor it at your leisure in a private room is truly the perfect way to spend a summer evening.
