Well, Akane serves Western food in Japanese Style. For those who do not understand the roots of such cooking, its actually called yōshoku (洋食) or seiyōshoku (西洋食) which is western influenced cooking that originated during the Meiji Restoration period in Japan in the late 19th Century.
If you have been to Japan, you should be familiar with such cooking as they are found almost everywhere. Popular dishes include Omu-rice (Omelette Rice), Ton-katsu (Breaded & Deep Fried Pork) and Kaki-Furai (Fried Oyster). Spaghetti, Hamburg Steak and Korokke(Croquette) are also among the popular yōshoku. All the food mentioned is served at Akane.
Part of the Specialty of the Omu-rice is the process of making the Sauce and how it is poured over the 'Egg wrapped with Rice'. The Demi-glace sauce takes meticulous skill and effort to be made and not often found with such quality in K.L.
The photos above are of the Katsu Curry Rice & Omu rice with Kaki Furai Set. Akane remains the ONLY place that I have eaten yōshoku similar to Tokyo. Chef Shiomi's menu is full of food that reminds me of my times in Tokyo.
Alas, it's a love or hate affair...not everyone can understand the culture of such cooking but if you are willing to give it a try, u might be surprised. The place itself makes you feel like you are in Japan as 90% of it's customers are Japanese. As always...different people, different tastes...Enjoy!!
