Sake-Pairing Dinner

An intimate four-course dinner with sake pairing in AKAI’s Private Dining Room. 14 seats. August 4, 2026.

Join us for an elevated, four-course culinary experience centered around AKAI's exclusive Japanese sake collection. We invite you to our private dining table for a guided presentation featuring a curated selection of exceptional and rare sakes.

Set within AKAI’s Private Dining Room, this intimate experience is limited to just 14 guests, offering a unique opportunity to explore the intersection of refined Japanese cuisine and exceptional sake. Each special menu course has been thoughtfully designed to be complemented and enhanced by the character of each pour, creating a seamless and immersive dining journey.

This evening is both personal yet elevated, blending storytelling, craftsmanship, and hospitality in a setting designed for connection. Guests will also have the exclusive opportunity to purchase a rare bottle of sake featured exclusively only at AKAI. With extremely limited seating, we encourage early reservations for what promises to be a memorable night of flavor and sake.
