Aka to Shiro sits on the third floor of a building in Sonezakishinchi, Kita Ward, a short walk from Ōebashi and Kitashinchi stations. The restaurant is built around a two-color approach to sushi rice: an akazu (red vinegar) base for tuna and other oily, blue-skinned fish, and a lighter shiroshari (white rice vinegar and sugar) base for white fish and shrimp, drawing on both Edomae and Kansai pressed-sushi traditions. A sake list is offered alongside the meal.
Seating totals 16, split between an 8-to-10-seat counter and two semi-private rooms that each hold up to four guests. Full buyouts are possible by arrangement, with price and guest count discussed directly with the restaurant. The restaurant falls into the top price tier on OmakaseGuide's scale, reflecting its counter-only, reservation-based format.
Hours run 17:00 to 22:00, Monday through Saturday; the restaurant is closed Sundays and public holidays, with occasional Monday or Saturday closures during weeks that include a holiday. Reservations are handled through TableCheck, and the restaurant asks that guests mention they found it via the official website when calling ahead. A smart casual dress code applies, and guests are asked to avoid wearing strong perfume. There is no on-site parking. Credit cards are accepted, including Visa, Mastercard, JCB, Amex, and Diners, but electronic payment methods are not.
