A Minimalist Philosophy in Name and Space

The name Aka Siro means β€œred and white,” a nod to the restaurant’s clean, minimal approach. That same simplicity runs through its cozy, functional design β€” and its food.


Comforting Japanese Set Meals

The menu is full of comforting Japanese staples β€” dishes you could easily eat a few times a week without getting bored. There are 11 teishoku (set meals) to choose from, each served with unlimited steamed rice, a delicate miso soup, and a crisp salad of cabbage, iceberg lettuce, and cucumber, dressed in a tangy carrot-vinegar dressing that’s surprisingly addictive.


Fresh Daily Rotations

Daily rotating side dishes, like sardines with pickled cucumber or sautΓ©ed slippery jack mushrooms, keep things interesting.


Something for the Meat Lovers

Meat lovers can dig into slow-cooked pork belly with daikon in a sweet sake sauce, pork grilled in egg and flour with Japanese barbecue sauce and mayo, or a classic tonkatsu β€” simply described on the menu as β€œvery popular deep-fried pork cutlet.”


A Touch of Fusion

There’s also a bit of Western fusion in the Hamburg steak β€” a beef and pork patty topped with tomato and Worcestershire-style sauce.


Drinks and Vegetarian Options

Vegetarian options are available too, and the short, sweet drinks list includes Karita paper drip coffee, specialty teas, grape juice, and house-made lemonade.
