Nationally recognized as one of the “Top 10 Sushi Spots” in the US by Bon Appétit magazine, Roka Akor is Scottsdale’s one-of-a-kind Sushi and Robata grill restaurant. Constructed of packed-earth walls, high ceilings and low-lighting, the restaurant projects a sense of warmth heightened by the extensive Robata grill, where chefs prepare fish, poultry, meat and vegetables over open flame in front of guests. Since ancient times, this grilling technique has been used to sear tenderness and flavor into food. Today, Roka Akor carries on the time-honored tradition using only the best seasonal and local ingredients available, all carefully chosen by Executive Chef Jason Alford. Having worked extensively with Chef Bjoern Weissgerber of Zuma Miami and Chef Ce Bian of Roka Akor Chicago, Chef Alford and his talented culinary team utilize the finest techniques serving enticing and exciting plates with their contemporary take on standard sushi. The adjacent Sake and Shochu Lounge offers a contemporary, unpretentious atmosphere serving their signature, stylish shochu, a vodka-like distilled spirit. Mild in taste, the Japanese libation is infused in-house with local organic produce featuring flavors such as Fuji apple, pineapple and honeycomb. Happy hour, voted “Best Value” by the editors of AZ Central.com, is offered daily in the Sake & Shochu Lounge and covered patio.
