Commitment

1

The size of the bonito

In spring, young 2-3kg first-catch bonito; in autumn, richly fatty 4-5kg returning bonito, carefully selected by season.

2

Raw bonito from Kochi

Most Kochi bonito is pole-and-line caught, leaving it beautiful and undamaged. We ship our select bonito direct from the port.

3

Straw from Shiga

We use straw hand-cut ourselves from vast contracted fields in Shiga. Dried straw burns hot with the finest smoky aroma.

4

The grilling

Over straw flames reaching 1000 degrees, we sear a crust about 5mm into the flesh, then finish with residual heat to lock in flavor.

5

The thickness of the cut

Cut over 1cm thick so the straw aroma fills your mouth, brimming with bonito flavor and a springy texture.

6

Our chosen salt

A fully sun-dried salt handmade by artisans from Kochi seawater. We select larger crystals for a mellow mineral taste.

Service

How to enjoy Robata

Robata Story

01

Head for the counter where the straw burns

One to two minutes from the east exit of Minami-Kusatsu Station, at Liberty Minami-Kusatsu 2F. From the counter seats facing the straw grill you can watch the bonito wrapped in flame.

02

Start with the medium, one slice at a time

Straw-grilled bonito starts at 1,490 yen for the medium, about two portions. Take the first slice unseasoned and taste the smoke held in the surface.

03

With the large, change as you go

Work through the condiments, rock salt and citrus. The large, about four portions at 2,480 yen, gives you enough to keep shifting the flavor to the last piece.

04

Smoke, drink, and lose track of time

All 45 seats allow smoking, and guests under 20 cannot enter. We suggest Shiga sake, dry through sweet, to sit alongside the straw-grilled plates.

Producers

Saga is where the Kuroshio current first meets Japan, a town thriving on pole-and-line bonito fishing and one of Kochi's foremost fishing towns.

Private Bookings for 45 in Minami-Kusatsu: A Smart Guide for Banquets and Home Parties

Private Bookings for 45 in Minami-Kusatsu! A New Solution for Your Large Gathering Needs

To all the event organizers in the Minami-Kusatsu area planning a large company send-off, class reunion, welcome party, or wedding reception, we understand the challenges you face, from choosing a venue to making reservations and coordinating the event itself. Many of you may have even searched for terms like private booking for 45 in Minami-Kusatsu. The challenge you face isn't just about finding a large enough space.

For instance, is it a space where all attendees can genuinely enjoy themselves? What is the quality of the food? Can you accommodate allergies and dietary restrictions? And most importantly, how can the organizer's burden be minimized? These are crucial points for a successful large-scale gathering. At our restaurant, we offer comprehensive support for these special large events, not only through private banquet bookings at our venue but also with a new option: takeout and delivery, allowing you to enjoy the festivities at home or in the office.

In this article, for those considering a private booking for 45 in Minami-Kusatsu, we will provide practical information, from how to make the most of an in-house private banquet to tips on using our takeout and delivery service to savor our specialties like straw-grilled bonito direct from Kochi and Minami-Kusatsu seafood at home. Please read on to make your next large gathering an unforgettable and wonderful day.

Do Any of These Concerns About Large Gatherings Sound Familiar?

When planning a large get-together, organizers and hosts face numerous challenges. For a group of 45, these concerns can be wide-ranging. To better understand your worries and offer concrete solutions, let's start by looking at some common problems.

  • The difficulty of finding a venue: Finding a restaurant where a large group of 45 can relax comfortably is a tough task. Considerations like the availability of private rooms, whether the entire floor can be booked, and being mindful of other customers can pile up.
  • Travel time and access issues: Even if many participants prefer a gathering near Minami-Kusatsu Station, stress related to transportation—such as the venue being far from the station or having limited parking—can be a major issue. Convenience is especially important if guests are coming from far away.
  • The pressure of time limits: Many restaurants have time restrictions, which can conflict with the desire to chat at a leisurely pace or transition smoothly to an after-party. The need to spend time freely without being rushed is a strong one.
  • The burden of food preparation and cleanup: If you're planning a party at home or the office, the biggest challenge is preparing the food and cleaning up afterward. Preparing for a large number of people requires an unimaginable amount of effort and time.
  • Menu uniformity and individual needs: While trying to cater to everyone's tastes, you also need to accommodate individuals with allergies or dietary restrictions. Arranging all of this on your own as an organizer is extremely difficult.

To address these challenges, we offer two main solutions to help you achieve your ideal gathering: private banquets for 45 in Minami-Kusatsu at our restaurant, and our takeout and delivery service. In the following sections, we will detail specific solutions and practical tips.

Private Bookings for 45 in Minami-Kusatsu! The Appeal of Enjoying a Large Banquet to the Fullest at Our Restaurant

A large banquet truly has a special charm when held at a restaurant. We offer a space and service that can fully satisfy groups of up to 45 people for a private booking in Minami-Kusatsu. Let's delve deeper into why private banquets are a popular choice and how to make the most of them.

  • A private space: You can get loud and have fun with just your group, fostering deeper connections.

  • A sense of unity: Sharing one space creates a strong feeling of togetherness, as all participants experience the event as one.

Treat your guests to authentic restaurant-quality cuisine, led by our straw-grilled bonito direct from Kochi

Our straw-grilled bonito direct from Kochi, a specialty you can only experience at our restaurant, is a signature dish that will undoubtedly liven up any large banquet. The spectacular sight of the bonito being grilled over a roaring straw fire, combined with the fragrant smoke and flames, creates a special experience that stimulates all the senses—sight, smell, and taste. The thickly sliced bonito, infused with the aroma of straw, is seared on the outside and moist on the inside, making it a dish that will remain in everyone's memory.

We also offer various course menus to satisfy large groups, featuring assorted sashimi that highlights the freshness of our Minami-Kusatsu seafood and other dishes incorporating seasonal ingredients. The authentic cuisine prepared by our professional chefs offers a professional taste that cannot be replicated at home, making it perfect for entertaining important guests.

Strong support for organizers! Reliable service from preparation to the day of the event

From initial booking consultations to menu planning, handling allergies, adjusting drink menus, and managing the day's schedule, our experienced staff will provide meticulous support.

We can also be flexible, as is possible with a private booking.

Peace of Mind for Organizers! Practical Steps for Using Takeout & Delivery

While our takeout and delivery service is convenient, following a few key points when ordering for a large group can ensure a smoother and more satisfying experience. Here are some practical steps to help organizers use our service with confidence.

Step 1: Clarify the number of people and purpose in a prior consultation

First, please contact us to clarify the number of people (for a group of 45 in Minami-Kusatsu, a substantial volume will be needed even for takeout), the date and time of the event, and the purpose (company party, family celebration, gathering with friends, etc.). The recommended menu composition and volume will vary depending on the occasion.

  • Provide guest count and budget: Sharing the number of attendees and your overall budget helps us propose the most suitable plan.
  • Share the purpose and atmosphere: Letting us know if it's a casual get-together or a formal dinner party will help with menu selection.
  • Confirm allergies and dietary restrictions: By checking for allergies or food aversions among your guests beforehand and informing us, we can provide detailed and considerate service.

Step 2: Menu selection and customization

Choose dishes that will delight your guests from our extensive takeout and delivery menu. We offer a wide variety, including our straw-grilled bonito direct from Kochi, Minami-Kusatsu seafood sashimi, and elaborate hors d'oeuvres. For large groups, we can also discuss customizations such as special platters or individual containers.

  • Utilize popular menu items: Choosing from our most popular dishes is a great way to please a wide range of guests.
  • Create a balanced meal: A balanced combination of meat, fish, vegetable, and rice dishes will keep everyone satisfied.
  • Don't forget the drinks: If you want to recreate the feeling of a gathering near Minami-Kusatsu Station at home, preparing drinks is important. While we sell some beverages, you may also want to consider arranging your own.

Step 3: Confirm your order and pickup/delivery method

Once your menu is decided, please place your order by phone or online. For large orders, preparation may take time, so we recommend booking several days in advance of your event.

  • Pickup or delivery: Choose the method that is most convenient for you—either picking it up from the restaurant yourself or having it delivered to a specified location. Please note that a separate fee may apply for delivery depending on the area and time, so please confirm in advance.
  • Confirm your desired time: We can get busy during peak hours, so ordering early and confirming the time is crucial to ensure you receive your food when you want it.
  • Payment methods: Please confirm the available payment options, such as cash, credit card, or electronic payment.

By following these steps, you can use our takeout and delivery service wisely to enjoy a smooth and fulfilling Minami-Kusatsu banquet for a large group.
