Corporate use

A fun, reliable group dinner in the heart of Dotonbori, before an evening stroll along the canal. The 11 private rooms take sub-groups of up to 20 each; beyond that we split the group across several rooms and floors with a set menu agreed in advance.

Private rooms & private hire

300 seats over several floors: tables on the ground floor, horigotatsu (sunken-table) rooms upstairs and 11 private rooms, including small and medium tatami rooms on the 6th and 7th floors. The largest banquet in a single room is 20 guests. Lift and step-free access.

The menu

Snow crab kaiseki menus: kanisuki (crab hot pot, the house signature), grilled crab, sashimi, tempura, sushi and a closing zosui. Several menu tiers, from colourful kaiseki to live-crab courses; autumn grilled-crab menus from mid-September to mid-November. Lunch sets until 16:00 and à la carte king crab (taraba) dishes.
