The Pitfalls of Choosing a Private Room: Have You Found the Perfect One for Your Occasion?

When many customers hear private room, they might first imagine large-scale Yasu banquets or business entertainment. Of course, we have ideal private rooms for such purposes, but their charm doesn't stop there.

However, we sometimes hear about small gaps between customer expectations and their actual experience, such as I booked a private room, but it was smaller than I thought, I was bothered by the voices from the next room, or It felt a bit too formal for a family gathering. This often happens when a room is chosen without fully understanding its type and characteristics.

We strongly wish to provide the best private room experience for our customers. To ensure you spend your time at our Yasu Izakaya in the best possible space, the key points for choosing a room change significantly depending on the purpose and the number of people. In the next chapter, we will specifically introduce the variations of private rooms that Kitano Izakaya prides itself on and how to choose the optimal one for each scene.

At Kitano Izakaya, we offer private rooms with different atmospheres to meet the diverse needs of our customers. Here, we introduce how to use our private rooms for each specific occasion.

For Intimate Conversations: Semi-Private Rooms for Yasu Dates and Small Groups

For celebrating an anniversary, a special time on a Yasu date, or a night of deep conversation with close friends, our semi-private rooms, which offer a sense of privacy without feeling enclosed, are highly recommended.

• Features: You can relax in a calm atmosphere without worrying about the gazes of other customers. The lighting is slightly dimmed, creating a comfortable space that encourages conversation.

• Example Scenarios: Wedding anniversaries, birthday celebrations, catching up with old friends, business dinners where you want to enjoy a meal slowly, etc.

• Recommended Way to Enjoy: Savor our rich lineup of Yasu sake while enjoying an assortment of fresh fish delivered directly from the fishing port. It's the perfect environment for discussing recent happenings or future dreams. Our staff will provide attentive service without disturbing you.

For Family Gatherings: Spacious Sunken-Kotatsu Rooms Perfect for Children

For families with small children, three-generation meals, or relative get-togethers, our spacious sunken-kotatsu (horigotatsu) private rooms are extremely convenient. They are popular because you can stretch out your legs, making even long stays comfortable.

• Features: The sunken-kotatsu seating is easy for children to sit at, allowing you to enjoy your meal with peace of mind. Some rooms have space to place a stroller next to you, so please feel free to ask when booking. A key benefit is that you don't have to worry too much about being a little noisy.

• Example Scenarios: Celebrations for school entrance, first meal ceremonies (okuizome), meals after a shrine visit (omiyamairi), meeting the parents, birthday parties, etc.

• Recommended Way to Enjoy: Easy-to-share dishes like our assorted Yasu robatayaki or the luxurious seared Yasu Omi beef are popular. We also have a children's menu, so the whole family can enjoy a time filled with smiles. We can also provide extra plates and children's chairs upon request.

For Lively Yasu Banquets and Parties: Mid-Sized Rooms that Foster a Sense of Togetherness

For wrap-up parties with work colleagues, get-togethers with groups of friends, or club gatherings where you want to have a lively time, our mid-sized private rooms—which maintain a sense of unity while allowing for private conversations—are perfect for a Yasu banquet.

• Features: These rooms can accommodate about 10 to 20 people, and the entire room is visible, making it easy for the organizer to manage the event. It's a space where laughter can echo freely without worrying about other customers.

• Example Scenarios: Welcome parties, farewell parties, year-end parties (bonenkai), New Year parties (shinnenkai), social gatherings, regular meetups with hobby groups, etc.

• Recommended Way to Enjoy: Using a Yasu Banquet Course with an all-you-can-drink option reduces the burden on the organizer. Enjoy seasonal Yasu seafood dishes, a rich Yasu robatayaki menu, and a tasting comparison of Yasu sake, focusing on local Shiga brews. As a go-to Yasu organizer's izakaya, we will also support a smooth event flow.

For Large-Scale Yasu Banquets and Private Events: Large Rooms and Buyout Spaces for Unity

For large parties, company-wide Yasu banquets, wedding after-parties, and other occasions where you want to book the entire venue, we offer spacious areas. A completely private space allows for highly flexible event planning.

• Features: A space that can accommodate up to 50 people, allowing for large-group interaction while maintaining a sense of unity. We can also consult on arranging equipment like projectors and sound systems upon request (please inquire for details).

• Example Scenarios: Large corporate social events, year-end parties, New Year parties, class reunions, wedding after-parties, local event wrap-up parties, etc.

We offer meticulous service, including luxurious dishes featuring Yasu Omi beef and drink plans tailored to your budget and requests. We provide full support for organizers from the planning stage to the day of the event, so you can rest assured.

A Welcome Consideration for Smokers: Private Room Options at a Yasu Smoking-Permitted Izakaya

As a Yasu smoking-permitted izakaya, Kitano Izakaya offers private room options so that our smoking customers can also have a comfortable time. With smoking rules becoming stricter in recent years, we strive to create an environment where both smokers and non-smokers can comfortably spend time in the same space.

• Features: We can guide you to smoking-permitted private rooms or rooms adjacent to a smoking booth, depending on your preference. This allows smokers to enjoy a cigarette without leaving their seat or interrupting conversations with their companions.

• Example Scenarios: For Yasu banquets or parties where there are smokers in the group, or for when you want to relax and have a smoke in private.

• Recommended Way to Enjoy: Regardless of smoking preference, you can enjoy our exquisite Yasu seafood and Yasu robatayaki dishes, as well as a wide variety of Yasu sake in all our private rooms. If you let us know your smoking preference and desired room type when booking, we will suggest the most suitable space.
