Square Meal review of Akari: Akari review

Crossing trendy gastropub with accomplished Japanese restaurant, Akari sets mismatched chairs & sturdy wooden tables as the foreground for a lissom team of black-clad staff in the open kitchen. The menu is much more advanced than your average local Japanese, encompassing slices of rare duck with green peppers & onions, sweet chicken wings, giant crumbed prawns with delicious homemade tartare sauce, & seaweed banded steamed rice balls concealing tart pickled plum. It’s all cleverly crafted & immensely satisfying. Among the more challenging choices are chewy stewed whelks in a subtle soy broth, & fatty grilled salmon cheek. The drinks list fields a good range of sakes & shochus, & as a change from the usual Japanese lagers, Asahi Black.
