Food "A Dish as a Business Card: Indicating the Overall Direction of the Course"
The course changes with the seasons, but Chef Akai states that "there is always a common theme for the first two dishes." The first dish is warm, simple, and highlights the quality of the ingredients. The photo shows a peanut porridge made from peanuts sourced from a nearby farm. The peanuts are simmered for three hours in spring water, and the rice is cooked in the resulting broth, finished with just salt and olive oil for a rich flavor. After warming the body, the second dish features a tangy flavor to stimulate the appetite, creating a wonderfully balanced course structure that takes into account the diner’s physiology.

The entrance to the World Heritage Site, Miyajima, is located in Hatsukaichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture. A little away from the center, on a quiet hill, Chef Akai has opened his long-awaited restaurant "AKAI," the first of its kind in his hometown of Hiroshima. The exterior, which is 80 years old and has a charming appearance, has been mostly preserved, while the interior has been renovated to feature a modern design with an open kitchen and an 8-seat counter. One wall is made entirely of glass, allowing guests to leisurely overlook the garden from their seats.

Chef Akai's policy is to avoid using decorative ingredients that only serve to enhance the appearance of the dish. Particularly for the main dish, he often places it almost in the center of the plate, and he believes that the most beautiful presentation is achieved with a white, round plate. Colored dishes are used as accents in the course. He has personally visited various ceramic artists from Etajima in Hiroshima to Karatsu to commission a number of unique plates, which he hopes diners will appreciate and enjoy alongside the food.
Capturing the essence of ingredients and bringing out their flavors is our philosophy. Experience the finest culinary delights right here in Hiroshima.
Extremely simple yet deeply delicious. This is the culinary destination that Chef Kenji Akai, who describes his style as "No Genre," strives for. The ten-course meal served at his namesake restaurant ..."AKAI" showcases this unique vision perfectly. From the comforting opening porridge to the main meat dish, each plate focuses on highlighting the natural flavors of the ingredients, resulting in an astonishingly pure taste. It's no wonder that food enthusiasts travel from outside the prefecture to experience this culinary bliss.
