OUR JOURNEY
Akamaru is a chef-owned Japanese restaurant located in Sonora Village, North Scottsdale, near TPC Scottsdale. We bring authentic Japanese flavors to the table, offering comforting Japanese rice bowls and unique rice sandwiches for lunch. In the evening, enjoy fresh sashimi, Japanese small plates, premium sake, and Japanese beer in a cozy izakaya atmosphere.
EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY
At AKAMARU, we’re devoted to freshness you can taste and craftsmanship you can trust. We prep in-house daily, cook in small batches, and source premium ingredients—so every bite is clean, seasonal, and nourishing.

DRINKS
Matcha Latte — Silky, aromatic, and never overly sweet. We whisk premium Japanese matcha to order for vivid green notes, natural sweetness, and a smooth finish.
Hojicha Latte — A low-caffeine roasted green tea latte with a deep, clean finish.
Americano — Medium-roast espresso; honeyed sweetness and a toasted-nut character, pulled on our high-end espresso machine.

LUNCH
ONIGIRAZU
Crisp nori, warm rice, and generous fillings—handheld and hearty. Favorites include Karaage with spicy mayo and lettuce, Beef, and Chashu. Portable comfort with clean, balanced flavors.
