    Omakase style (chef decides the food.) The chef was very good in explaining everything that he served us. I was a little apprehensive about eating raw fish, but I bit the bullet and dug in! My husband and son loved it. The chef was also aware that I have a strong dislike for certain spices, so he was very considerate and tailored my sushi pieces to my liking. We also had a bit of Wagyu beef and that was outstanding. I also loved the dessert at the end - matcha mochiko taiyaki with black sesame cream.

    Who would believe a guy from Revere turns out to be one of the most inventive and excellent sushi chefs in the city?

    Superb experience. Chef Mike is passionate about his fish and sources them directly from the Toyosu Fish Market in Japan.

    Mike and Akame are so special - innovative, fresh, interesting sushi and other small delights. Some of the best tastes I've ever put in my mouth!

    I had the pleasure of dining at Akame Nigiri and Sake in Lexington, MA, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best omakase experiences I’ve ever had. What makes this place truly remarkable is that it’s a single-owned, single-run restaurant with no employees—just one master chef pouring their heart and soul into every dish. The dedication and hard work are evident in every bite, and it’s nothing short of impressive. The 15-course omakase offering, priced at $180 per guest, was an absolute delight. Each course was a masterpiece, showcasing the freshest Japanese fish and shellfish, alongside luxurious additions like foie gras, Hokkaido uni, A5 wagyu, and caviar. The dessert was the perfect sweet finish to an incredible meal. Every dish was beautifully presented and perfectly cooked, reflecting the skill of a true master chef. The chef was not only talented but also incredibly kind and wonderful, making the experience even more memorable. From start to finish, all courses were fantastic, and I can’t recommend Akame enough. If you’re looking for an authentic, high-quality omakase experience, this is the place to go. 10/10—one of the best I’ve ever had!

    A rare opportunity to have a front seat experience with a chef who truly loves what he does and runs this place as a one man show. Truly a unique (and delicious) experience! Very high quality food in a simple/non pretentious environment

    Chef has really made amazing strides. This was good the first time we visited almost two years ago, but since then this restaraunt has been elevated to a new top tier place. It’s quaint, small, but delicious.

    It was literally a small hole in the wall. But don’t let that fool you. We had the place to ourselves because the other people cancelled…it was like having a private chef for the night. The sushi was amazingly delicious. We actually made future reservations during our time there. We can’t wait to go back!!

    We love Omakase and found this place in Lexington without having to go into Boston. It was a wonderful experience. Seats 6 people, very intimate and make friends or it can be awkward. Luckily met friends in common at the restaurant. We enjoyed every bite! Fish was fresh. Chef Mike was very interactive. SAKE pairing is a must. Highly recommend!
