Akasaka is a small yet cozy Japanese restaurant that offers fresh and delicious sushi and other Japanese dishes. The service is exceptional, with attentive and polite servers who even provide complimentary edamame. The restaurant's intimate atmosphere and traditional Japanese decor create a homely ambiance. The sushi is the highlight, with the fish being of top quality and melting in your mouth. The large sashimi platter is popular, though the presentation could be more consistent. Standout dishes include the Aji (Spanish mackerel) with its slight sweet and tangy flavor, the buttery Toro, and the unique scallop butteryaki with a nice crunchy batter. The tempura is praised for its perfect crispiness. The sushi menu features very fresh fish like uni, hamachi, and salmon, with the otoro being especially highly praised as the best bite of sushi ever. The atmosphere is cozy and small, making it a great spot for late dinners and enjoying a beer. The staff is friendly and welcoming, adding to the enjoyable experience. Reservations are recommended, as the restaurant can fill up quickly, especially during peak hours. Overall, Akasaka offers a friendly, homely setting with excellent sushi and attentive service.
