THE SEASONAL DEGUSTATION MENU

For the first time, Akaiito invites you to experience a new level of dining. Our new ‘Omakase at Your Table’ offers a 10-course journey celebrating the season’s finest ingredients, thoughtfully crafted to honour Japanese culinary tradition with a contemporary French touch—prepared by our chefs in the open show kitchen and presented at your table.

For a more personalised experience, our carefully curated à la carte menu features all of our signature dishes, allowing you to choose your favourites at your own pace. Vegetarian and vegan menus are available on request.

We’re also delighted to welcome back our lunch menu, offering a 2-course or 3-course option, available Monday to Friday, 12pm – 3pm, featuring seasonal highlights from our latest menu.
