Sushi Akihama sits on Kakinokibatake street in central Kanazawa, at J-SQUARE101. The restaurant is built around a counter, with chef Satoshi Akihama working seasonal seafood sourced from Ishikawa's coastal waters into an Edomae-style omakase.
The menu is straightforward. At lunch, diners can choose either a nigiri-only set for 6,600 JPY or the full tsumami-and-nigiri course for 15,000 JPY, served between 12:00 and 14:00. Dinner offers the same 15,000 JPY tsumami-and-nigiri course, from 18:00 to 22:00. Both meals follow the same core format of small appetizers followed by a nigiri sequence, with plating that changes by season.
Sushi Akihama is open six days a week — Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday — and closed on Wednesdays. There is no walk-in guarantee implied by the listed hours; reservations are made by phone at 050-8889-7407 or through the restaurant's website. Seat count is not published, so anyone booking for a group should confirm counter space directly with the restaurant.
This is a moderately priced omakase by regional standards, positioned for both a midday visit and a full evening sitting. Because the lunch and dinner courses share a price point, the main practical decision for visitors is which service to book and whether to opt for the shorter nigiri-only lunch instead of the full course.
