Akami Omakase

The omakase at Akami could make any day a special occasion and even more so if it is a day worth celebrating! The full staff puts in the work to ensure an amazing experience. Food: The menu was a perfect blend of new unexpected flavor combinations, decadent fish cuts prepped with great care, and even normal fish cuts elevated to new flavor peaks! Service: The chefs gave enticing descriptions of the dishes that really emphasized an appreciation of food and the wait staff kept the meal flowing with ease. Atmosphere: The standard sushi bar was great for watching the staff, so even between bites we had something to talk about and get excited by. The interior is not only neat and clean it helps take your mind off of everything beyond the front doors.

Akami Omakase in Brookline is truly a 10/10 must-try. Even if it’s a bit expensive, you’re going for the experience, and it absolutely delivers. 🍣✨ From the moment we sat down, Chef Jam’s passion and dedication were obvious. He even showed us the fresh fish flown in from Japan and Norway 🇯🇵🇳🇴🐟 that we’d be enjoying that night, which made the whole meal feel even more special. We had an incredible 14-course omakase for $100 per person, and every bite felt like a little work of art. Watching the chefs prepare each course right in front of us added so much to the experience. You can see the care and creativity that go into every dish, and it makes you appreciate each course on a whole new level. Our favorite dishes of the night were definitely the salmon and tuna. They were fresh, buttery

5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is my second time coming to Akami and it did not disappoint. The first time was during their soft opening— I swore I would come back, and I sure did! My friends and I RSVPed for a Thursday night for 8:30PM. Finding street parking was easy. We were seated promptly. Nuk our waitress was phenomenal like last time. Jam and the other sushi chef (I wish I got his name), served us with care, expertise, and efficiency. Each course was described in detail as we eagerly devoured it. From the tuna to the uni, everything was fresh and delicious. This time, they adjusted their chawanmushi recipe and wow, hands down the tastiest chawanmushi I’ve ever had. We were full with the pre-fixed course but had to order off the a la carte menu since everything else was so good. Don’t skip out

Phenomenal Experience even with Food Allergies! I went for my BF’s birthday and was a little nervous considering I have a shellfish allergy. But they were SO GOOD with it. They accommodated my allergy, took it very seriously, and made sure to craft mine separately whenever a course involved shellfish. On top of that the food, atmosphere, and experience was so inviting and friendly. I cannot recommend them enough. Also I’m forever haunted by how out of this world some of the courses were. The one with coconut was my absolute favorite!

Everything was amazing. I was dining solo and was nervous about getting placed in a corner or being overlooked, but the staff were equally as attentive to me as they were everyone else. The food was SO good!! High quality fish. Super yummy. I ended up ordering a few more. The sweet shrimp was my favorite. Highly recommend! The chefs were very skilled and professional. They explained and presented each dish very well as well.
