About the restaurant
At Akaiito, dining is an act of destiny. Named after the Japanese legend of the “red thread,” this moody, marble-clad restaurant is bound by beauty, from the luminous crimson installation curling across the ceiling to the artistry of its omakase. The ten-course Omakase at Your Table unfolds as theatre: chawanmushi with firefly squid, kingfish with truffle ponzu, ama ebi crowned with caviar. For something lighter, the midweek tasting menu offers a refined introduction. The subterranean bar, all moody light and polished theatrics, extends the story with cocktails as intricate as the cuisine itself.
