Corporate use

Nakanoshima's most accessible historic setting for a corporate evening: the restaurant can be booked in full for a party, buffet reception or event, a short walk from the Kitahama and Yodoyabashi offices. Handy after touring the island (museums, rose garden) or after a meeting in Nakanoshima. As the room is in the basement, views are limited to the terrace; we agree the format (seated or buffet) and the buyout terms with the team.

Private rooms & private hire

No private room is advertised: 121 seats inside and 36 on the terrace. The whole restaurant can be booked for corporate parties, events and buffets; party plans are also offered for small groups.

The menu

Yoshoku reworked with French technique around Kansai produce: beef stew omurice, black curry, wagyu steak, Shimane pork cutlet and Awaji beef stews. At dinner, a course created with Tomokazu Oya (Sui Oya) mixes Japanese and bistro dishes; at lunch, a course built around a box of assorted starters. A private buffet format for groups, a drinks and dessert menu, and take-away drinks.
