Akashatsu

Akashatsu is the kind of place that brings to mind a meal built around dashi-based dishes and finished with fried rice. Visitors have praised the proprietor’s skill with dashi and noted that the fried food has a light coating. Chicken karaage is among the menu options, making it easy to put together a meal by ordering several dishes to share.

Some diners recommend the fried rice as a final dish. It is listed as “fried rice not on the menu”, so it may not be a regular option available at all times, but it is one to ask about at the end of a meal.

At lunchtime, the chef’s-choice set meal is another option. One diner visiting on a weekday noted that there were around 10 counter seats and that the set meal was the last one available at the time. They also remembered being offered a second helping of rice and how good the rice tasted. If you have your heart set on the set meal, an earlier visit may be a good idea.
