Aka was found in early 2006 were at that moment, sushi demands had just began prominence within Houston community. Aka derives its phrase from the single Japanese word: “Aka”(赤) which means red. The color red in Japanese culture denotes courage, passion, and self sacrifice. It is the color that gets the blood flowing through. The Japanese people have a dedication to perfecting everything they do on a daily basis. Like the Samurai, they take pride in every aspect of their everyday life from the moment they wake up. When it comes to food, they pay respect to every aspect of how their meal is prepared and how they drink, they also make sure that is one never serves themselves. At Aka, we pay homage to the Japanese tradition of perfection in food and drink and love of communal dining.
