Akari Dining — Restaurant in Kamakura

I visited your restaurant on April 25 around 12:30 PM. Despite the queue, your staff efficiently managed seating and orders at the entrance, and the 45-minute wait was well worth it.

I ordered the アジの梅しそフライ, which was absolutely delicious. The deboned mackerel, stuffed with plum and shiso, was perfectly fried yet retained its juiciness—an exquisite balance of flavors.

If you’re visiting Kamakura, this place is definitely worth the short walk from the...

Went there before going on to explore Kamakura. Half of the tables were empty at 2pm but we were asked to wait outside until the waitress finished settling customers’ bills — was a bit tempted to leave at that point but we were welcomed in quickly after. The sets are super large for the price (everything’s under 1500JPY or so?) with soup, salad and pickles, and they give you coffee after your meal. The service was good after we were seated. The tofu hamburger was really good, and the seafood was fresh. The karaage is super big in size and flavourful as well. It’s a nice place to eat and relax....
