Akaiito

Akaiito intertwines a story of love and connection, the name deriving from the meaning ‘red thread of fate’ in Japanese – connected with the symbolisation that the red thread joins people to kindred spirits and how people are ultimately ‘tied’ to each other.

Dining Experience

Akaiito’s interior is beautifully designed with Japanese elements throughout the entirety of the restaurant. With both shared and private dining spaces available, we aim to present our guests an unforgettable dining experience in the heart of Melbourne.
