Authentic Itameshi (Japanese-style Italian cuisine) Paired with Sake — A Taste Found Only Here

Tucked away in a building just a short walk from Akasaka Station, "ITAMESHI Anima Rossa" has earned its reputation as a beloved hidden gem.

The "itameshi (Japanese-style Italian cuisine)" served here stands apart from the casual image the name might suggest — it is a refined, original take that commands genuine respect for Italian culinary tradition.
With every visit, the number of devoted fans captivated by the restaurant's unique and deeply personal flavors continues to grow.

The chef holds a kikizakeshi (certified sake sommelier) qualification and serves recommended sake in wine glasses.
Rare, season-limited sake varieties are occasionally available and are shared generously with guests.
Why not savor them alongside the restaurant's proud itameshi (Japanese-style Italian cuisine)?

ITAMESHI Anima Rossa's most beloved dish is the [Hot Caesar Salad with Shrimp and Broccoli (tax included ¥1,210)].

[Nama Carbonara (fresh egg carbonara) ¥1,380 (tax included ¥1,518)]
The result of the chef's careful reflection and repeated experimentation, this is a carbonara in a class of its own — a Japonaise carbonara (Japanese-style carbonara) that can only be tasted here.
Swirl together the prosciutto dip, the richness of the cheese, the fragrant aroma of butter, and a generous pour of egg yolk — and immerse yourself in a depth of flavor that is entirely its own.

The course menu, crafted with unsparing dedication, is packed with the very best that ITAMESHI Anima Rossa has to offer.
All-you-can-drink options are available for groups of 4 or more; food-only courses are available for groups of 2 or more. (Table charge included)
Please contact us in advance to adjust according to your budget and needs. (Last-minute cancellations not accepted)

Tonight, let's pair your meal with carefully selected drinks.
With over 50 varieties of Italian wine always available, you can choose according to your preference or what best complements your dish.
The wine-infused signature lemon sour is also a recommended option — but here, we would especially like to suggest the sake recommended by our chef, a certified kikizakeshi (sake sommelier).
