AKOYA

A hidden gem inside St. Cloud Rooftop Bar, Akoya offers guests an authentic temaki experience in an intimate and elevated setting atop The Knickerbocker Hotel. Led by Sushi Chef Taishi Yamaguchi and iconic chef Charlie Palmer, Akoya celebrates the art of the hand roll, featuring a menu of innovative open-style sushi offerings alongside an extensive beverage program, with international sakes and signature cocktails.

The Menu
Under the direction of Executive Chef Adam Raksin and Food and Beverage Director Chris Miller, the menu centers around temaki — delicately crafted hand rolls wrapped to order with imported and local seafood, seasonal rice from Japan, and crisp nori. A selection of Japanese-inspired small plates and mochi complete the experience, complemented by an international sake program spanning Japan, France, Mexico, and beyond.

Design
Designed by LUCID, Highgate’s award-winning in-house design and construction studio, the interiors of Akoya pay homage to Japanese culture and its long-honored tradition of handcrafting. With a total of 28 seats, the softly lit hidden gem on the east side of St. Cloud will exude sophistication and conceptual authenticity.
