How to Choose and Use the Best Private Room for Business Entertainment and Formal Dinners

For important business entertainment that can influence success, or for formal dinners with esteemed guests, a private and calm environment for conversation is just as essential as the quality of the food. At our restaurants, Donan Norin Suisanbu and Neo Robata Donan, we have prepared special private rooms to help deepen your business relationships. You can enjoy a fruitful time while savoring authentic Hokkaido cuisine in Nagoya.

Private Rooms Focused on a Calm Atmosphere and Privacy

For business entertainment and formal dinners, we first recommend a fully private room. This provides an environment where you can focus on important conversations without worrying about being seen by other guests. Our fully private rooms create a sophisticated, adult atmosphere with subdued lighting and a touch of Japanese elegance. The spacious table arrangement is also ideal for spreading out documents or simply relaxing. With ample distance from adjacent seats, there is little concern about conversations being overheard, making them suitable for confidential discussions.

• Thoughtful Layout: The design minimizes encounters with other guests, allowing for discreet entry and exit.
• Attentive Service: Our staff takes great care not to interrupt your conversations when serving food or taking drink orders. We strive to be flexible, such as only approaching when called.
• Adjustable Ambiance: Some rooms allow for adjustments to temperature and lighting according to your preference, ensuring you can relax in a more comfortable space.

Enhancing the Dining and Conversation Experience

In our private rooms, you can enjoy Nagoya's Hokkaido cuisine, made with fresh seafood and seasonal vegetables sent directly from Hokkaido, at its absolute best. For business dinners, the presentation of the dishes is a crucial element. The time spent slowly savoring each meticulously plated dish in the special space of a private room becomes a wonderful opportunity to deepen your relationship with your guests.

We also have an extensive drink menu. We offer a wide selection of brands that pair well with our cuisine, including local Hokkaido sake, shochu, and wine. You can choose the perfect drink to suit your taste or that of your guest. Please feel free to consult with us about food and drinks when making your reservation.

The Charm of Private Rooms for Family Gatherings and Anniversaries

For important family meals or special occasions like birthdays and wedding anniversaries, a private space where you can relax without worrying about your surroundings is paramount. The private rooms at Donan Norin Suisanbu and Neo Robata Donan are designed to meet a wide range of needs, from families with children to couples celebrating a special anniversary. We promise a memorable time in Nagoya, enjoying the flavors of Hokkaido in a warm atmosphere.

Safe for Kids! Horigotatsu-Style Private Rooms

For guests with small children, we especially recommend our horigotatsu-style private rooms. Since you take off your shoes and relax, children won't feel confined and can feel at home. This floor-seating style is not only easier for children to eat at but also reduces the worry of them falling off a chair, allowing parents to enjoy their meal with peace of mind. We also provide children's tableware and chairs, so please let us know when you make your reservation.

Hokkaido cuisine features many dishes that are popular with children. We have a menu that the whole family can enjoy, including fried fresh seafood and dishes with plenty of seasonal vegetables. If your child has allergies, please let us know in advance, and we will do our best to accommodate.

• Spacious Layout: The room is roomy enough for children to move around a bit without you having to worry about disturbing others.
• Convenient Amenities: We can provide high chairs for small children and extra plates for sharing.
• Menu Consultation: Feel free to consult with us about kid-friendly menu options or allergy concerns.

Special Private Rooms for Anniversaries

For celebrating special days like birthdays and wedding anniversaries, we suggest a private room with a special ambiance. We also accept requests for anniversary course meals and surprise arrangements. We will do our utmost to assist with your requests, such as adding a message to a dessert plate or arranging for a bouquet of flowers.

Our private rooms feature a calm interior that further enhances the anniversary atmosphere. The time spent savoring Hokkaido cuisine while chatting in a space softly lit by indirect lighting will surely become a cherished memory for you both. We also have an extensive wine list, including Hokkaido wines, so you can choose the perfect bottle for your celebration. Our staff will wholeheartedly assist in making your anniversary a truly special memory.

The Perfect Private Room for Chats with Friends and Girls' Nights Out

For enjoyable moments with close friends or for a girls' night out where you want to talk to your heart's content, a private room where you can relax is ideal. At Donan Norin Suisanbu and Neo Robata Donan, we offer private rooms where you can fully enjoy a special time while savoring Hokkaido cuisine in Nagoya. Spend a memorable day in a space where you can be lively and have fun without worrying about your surroundings.

Semi-Private and Table Rooms Where You Can Enjoy the Lively Atmosphere

For gatherings with friends or girls' nights out, we recommend semi-private or table private rooms, which offer a sense of openness while maintaining privacy, rather than fully enclosed rooms. Partitions between seats allow you to focus on conversation without worrying about others, while still feeling the vibrant energy of the restaurant. Our table private rooms are designed with comfortable chairs so you can relax for extended periods.

• Conversation-Friendly Layout: The arrangement allows everyone to face each other around the table, naturally sparking conversation.
• Photo-Worthy Space: The privacy of the room allows you to take photos of the delicious Hokkaido cuisine and your fun moments without worrying about others. Our rooms have a modern Japanese atmosphere that's perfect for photos.
• Ideal for Casual Izakaya Visits: As a Donan Izakaya, we offer a relaxed atmosphere where you don't have to be formal. Our extensive drink menu and exquisite dishes made with fresh Hokkaido ingredients will add color to your fun time with friends.

Girls' Night Out Plans and an Extensive Drink Menu

For girls' nights out, course meals that are visually appealing and allow you to enjoy a variety of items in small portions are popular. We offer special girls' night out plans that include popular dishes made with seasonal Hokkaido ingredients. For example, our satisfying courses include items like seafood salad, colorful robatayaki, and even dessert to finish.

Our drink menu is also extensive, featuring cocktails, sours, soft drinks, as well as a rich selection of Hokkaido local sake and fruit liquors. Please use our private rooms as a space where you can lose track of time while enjoying drinks and conversation. We can also arrange surprise birthday plates, so please feel free to ask if you have a request.

Private Rooms for Diverse Needs, from Solo Diners to Small Groups

I'd like to use a private room even if I'm alone. I want to enjoy a meal with a small group, but I'm worried a private room might be too big. We understand some customers may have these thoughts. At Donan Norin Suisanbu and Neo Robata Donan, we offer private rooms and similar spaces that cater to a wide range of needs, from solo diners to small groups. We propose the luxury of enjoying Hokkaido cuisine in Nagoya in a more personal space.

Utilizing Counter Seats and Semi-Private Rooms

For solo diners or parties of two, our counter seats are also very popular. Watching the chefs at work right before your eyes while savoring freshly prepared robatayaki or sashimi is truly an adult's privilege. You can also enjoy chatting with the chefs and ask about their recommended dishes or Hokkaido's food culture.

However, for customers who still wish to spend their time in a private space, we also offer semi-private rooms that can be used by small groups. Our semi-private rooms are designed to shield you from the view of other customers, allowing you to relax comfortably. They are perfect for couples wanting to spend special time together or for simple business meetings. As a hidden gem in Donan Nagoya, these spaces are popular with guests who wish to dine quietly.

• Dine Solo with Ease: At the counter, you can enjoy your meal at your own pace while feeling the restaurant's energy.
• Perfect for Small Groups: Our semi-private rooms for 2-4 people are ideal for intimate conversations.
• Versatile for Any Occasion: Use it as a place to enjoy a meal while reading a book or for a heartfelt talk with someone important.

For guests using our private or semi-private rooms, we strive to provide more personalized service. We take care to serve dishes at your pace and suggest drinks that match your preferences, valuing meticulous attention to detail.

We strive to meet the needs of each individual customer, whether it's a special menu using seasonal Hokkaido ingredients or accommodating allergies. As a Donan Izakaya, our joy is to deliver the highest satisfaction to our guests.

Choosing a Private Room to Best Enjoy Nishiki Hot Pot

Popular not only in the chilly seasons but all year round, Nishiki hot pot dishes. The time spent gathered around a steaming hot pot, like our famous Tsufu Nabe (Gout Hot Pot) or a fresh seafood hot pot, is a special moment that warms both body and soul. However, considering the steam, aroma, and lively atmosphere of sharing ingredients, a private room is the ideal setting. At Donan Norin Suisanbu and Neo Robata Donan, we offer private rooms designed to help you enjoy hot pot dishes to the fullest.

Spacious Private Rooms Perfect for Hot Pot

Hot pot dishes require a lot of space on the table for ingredients and bowls, so a spacious room is essential. Our private rooms feature large tables or horigotatsu seating, so you won't feel cramped even when sharing a Nishiki hot pot with a group. Please rest assured that some rooms are also designed with ventilation in mind to prevent steam and odors from accumulating.

In particular, our Tsufu Nabe is a luxurious dish packed with delicacies from the sea like monkfish liver, oysters, and cod milt. The experience of slowly savoring this flavorful hot pot with your important companions, without worrying about others, is exceptional. A private room encourages conversation, making the hot pot taste even more delicious. As Neo Robata Donan, we offer various private rooms so you can enjoy hot pot alongside our robatayaki.

• Spacious Tables: There's ample room for ingredients and individual plates, allowing you to comfortably gather around the pot.
• Good Ventilation: Some rooms are designed to prevent the steam and aroma characteristic of hot pot from lingering.
• Prompt Staff Service: You can smoothly order additional ingredients or drinks from the comfort of your private room.

Drinks and Finishing Dishes that Pair Well with Hot Pot

The time spent enjoying drinks with your hot pot is even more fulfilling in a private room. A crisp, cold beer or local Hokkaido sake pairs perfectly with a steaming hot pot. We also have an extensive selection of wine and shochu to suit your preferences.

And the grand finale of any hot pot experience is the shime, or finishing dish. For our hot pot dishes, we offer finishers like zosui (rice porridge) or ramen, allowing you to savor the rich broth to the very last drop. Relaxing in a private room and enjoying your meal until the very end—this is the true pleasure of savoring Hokkaido cuisine in Nagoya in a private setting. If you let us know the type of hot pot and number of people when you book, we can guide you to the most suitable private room.
