Akame Nigiri and Sake sits in Lexington's Battle Green Historic District, a short drive from downtown Boston. The restaurant seats just six guests around a single omakase counter, placing diners close to the kitchen for a semi-private experience.
The 15-course omakase takes a non-traditional approach, sourcing seafood primarily from Tokyo's Toyosu market alongside ingredients from other regions. A sake pairing is offered alongside the meal, curated to complement each course; a small selection of wine, including special orders, is also available.
Beyond the counter, Akame offers a private room that can accommodate up to 18 guests for custom-menu events. The restaurant is chef-owned and operated.
Reservations are handled through OpenTable. The dining room is open Thursday through Saturday from 6 to 10 p.m. and closed Sunday through Wednesday.
