01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
The real appeal of Akatsuki lies in the combination of handmade udon, celebrated for its firm chew and smooth slide, with refined Japanese dishes prepared with care. Guests can enjoy everything from comforting hot bowls infused with rich dashi broth to chilled or hot-water kamaage udon, where the texture of the noodle itself takes center stage.
Fresh Seafood, Seasonal Tempura, and Drinks Dishes
The menu features authentic kappo fare that shifts with the market run, such as a five-piece assortment of seasonal sashimi, a seafood salad, seasonal tempura platters, and saikyo-yaki grilled fish. Smaller drinking snacks like salted sea bream entrails or karasumi mullet roe pair naturally with beer, wine, or sake, setting up a leisurely meal that can finish with a bowl of udon. Beyond that, choices such as sea urchin chawanmushi, simmered beef tendon, and Japanese-style steak provide plenty of variety for any mood.
From Lunch Sets to Evening Kaiseki in a Relaxed Setting
Lunchtime draws diners for satisfying sets that pair tempura with udon, with the option to linger over coffee after the meal. In the evening, the options broaden to more elaborate meals, including the Jun Udon Kaiseki, which weaves seasonal courses around udon, and udon-suki hot pots shared around the table. With both counter seats and tatami seating, the quiet dining room is run with warm hospitality by a husband-and-wife team, giving guests an unhurried space to focus on the food.
