Araki, Sushi restaurant in Akasaka, Japan
Araki is a sushi restaurant in Akasaka offering eight counter seats where chefs prepare traditional sushi using seasonal ingredients throughout the year. The minimal setting keeps attention on the carefully executed preparation work happening right in front of diners.
The restaurant opened in 2020 with a focus on refined sushi preparation methods. Since its founding, it has established itself as a specialized sushi house that emphasizes technique and ingredient quality.
The space features restrained Japanese design that directs attention to the chefs' work at the counter. Diners sit facing them directly and watch each piece come together with careful attention to detail.
The restaurant operates by reservation only and has very limited counter seating at the bar. Guests should book well in advance and expect an intensive dining experience focused entirely on watching the chefs work.
The restaurant maintains a carefully curated sake selection that accompanies each sushi course. These pairings are thoughtfully chosen to enhance the flavors of what you are eating.
