About this place
For an evening meal, start with the charcoal-grilled yakitori platter: liver, gizzards, negima (chicken and spring onion), chicken wings and chicken tenderloin with wasabi, for 5 skewers at ¥780. It is a good way to sample a range of skewers before ordering them individually. Diners have mentioned coming for the yakitori, which is cited alongside sashimi as one of the restaurant’s signature offerings.
For a meal centred on fish, sashimi platters come in three-piece, five-piece and seven-piece selections, priced at ¥980, ¥1,580 and ¥2,280, respectively. Individual choices include tuna and sea bream; grilled options include saikyo-yaki black cod and half a fatty hokke (Atka mackerel). Some diners have praised the sashimi and skewers, while others recommend the croquettes. Beef croquettes are listed on the menu, offering a fried option between servings of fish and skewers.
Diners report that lunch includes a daily set meal and a service lunch. People who have bought bento have shared specific impressions of the range of side dishes, grilled items and fried food. The menu also lists the Akanoren set meal for ¥980, with a main dish, side dishes, rice, miso soup and Japanese pickles—a straightforward choice for a more substantial meal.
There are also individual dishes and alcoholic drinks, including beer and sake. Akanoren in Itabashi is presented as an izakaya suited to both solo meals and dinners with a group.
