Fresh fish bought daily, served as you like.
Our fish market selection is bought from the market daily.
Using the freshest fish ensure that the quality is as high as possible before it is skillfully sliced and served to you.
With our new menu launched for the summer months,
let us introduce the platter.
Shake Salmon
Shiozake (shortened to shake) otherwise translates as salted salmon is a staple on the Japanese breakfast table. The main ingredient can be both main and side dishes in egg rolls or seared and served with soy sauce and rice. Take a moment to notice the salt enhancing the sea flavour.
Hiramasa Kingfish
Kingfihs holds a high regard in Japan with its delicate meat a popular choice when looking for variety from salmon or tuna. Providing a great balance between slightly oily but firm texture along with its sweet rich flavour kingfish is well sought after for sushi, sashimi and other recipes
Hotate scallop
The best thing about fresh scallop is the extra moment to appreciate the exquisite sweetness and the softness of flesh. Enjoy.
Maguro yellowfin tuna
Tuna being low in fat and easy to fish, is one of the oldest for sushi, even regarded by many as the icon of sushi and sashimi. You might notice the extra ‘fishy taste’ that comes from its firm texture. Yellowfin specifically is found in tropical and subtropical waters, bring the sea to the plate.
Unagi eel
Our latest addition to the fish market is this Japanese eel found in the warm pacific water? Around Japan, China, Taiwan and Vietnam. With the eels life story including both in salt water and fresh water, this Japanese luxury has a deep rich flavour that comes instantly to the palate.
Ebi prawn
Ebi is a preparation style of the prawn popular in Japan, especially for the sushi. Following on from nigari preparation the extra care to the shrimp and combination with mirin rice creates this well recognised sushi piece. Pure prawn juiciness with that cool touch.
Platter Specials :
Wagyu
With the wagyu beef, you can be sure to receive that tender buttery flavour accompanied with slight tang from a yuzu miso topping.
Shiromi White fish
Depending on the season the white fish options change to meet the freshest produce standard as we withhold on our fish market.
If they were any fresher, they would still be swimming!

Watch this space for the menu!
Maybe the first thing that comes to mind with Japanese is sushi and sashimi, but if we said a few other names you may just remember those extra famous dishes. Dishes like udon, edamame, avocado sushi rolls. Japan was at one time, decidedly vegetarian as encouraged by the numerous Buddhist monks, calling for a style of cuisine that ‘have the goodness and keep away evils’ as translating as ‘shōjin-ryōri’.
See below or dine in for a selection of our Japanese vegetarian meals for sharing or alone, at Akachochin.
