Ito

Set back from the main avenue on a quiet corner, Akasaka Sushi Itou hangs its noren curtain over an understated space dedicated to precisely crafted sushi. At the hinoki cypress counter, diners can settle in and watch the chefs work adeptly right before them.

Midday Nigiri and Chirashi Sets

The lunch menu features nigiri assortments such as the Hana set—offering nine pieces of nigiri alongside sushi rolls—as well as more generous options like the Kaori and Mai sets. Guests can also choose the colorful Fukiyose Chirashi bowl or the two-tiered Nidan-ju, which presents sashimi and seasoned sushi rice in separate layers, making both appealing choices for a midday business lunch or a casual treat.

Evening Kaiseki Combining Seasonal Bites and Nigiri

Dinner unfolds across a multi-course progression, opening with seasonal appetizers and vivid sashimi before moving through grilled dishes, warm specialties, and a concluding sequence of nigiri. Course options such as Akatsuki, Egao, and Danran allow guests to match the occasion and desired portion, with beer and wine available alongside sake pairings.

Backed by attentive hospitality, making a reservation in advance can offer peace of mind for either lunch or dinner. The menu has listed house-made gindara saikyo-zuke (miso-marinated black cod) among its gift options, offering a way to bring the restaurant's flavors home.
