About Akai

"Akai" offers Kyoto cuisine, which emphasizes the careful selection of ingredients and the extra effort put into making the dishes more delicious, rather than relying on excessive presentation. 

We hold the essence of a chef's work close to their hearts, dedicating time to the unseen aspects of cooking, and crafting each dish with meticulous care, resulting in delicate and high-quality creations. 

Every dish conveys the chef's sincere dedication to our craft. 

We create seasonal menus using seasonal ingredients, and only fresh, wild seafood for our sashimi dishes.

Whether it's fish or any other ingredient, we ensure that the dishes are made with ingredients sourced at their peak, so you can savor the best flavors each season has to offer.
