Akami Omakase occupies a counter-only room at 187 Harvard St in Brookline's Coolidge Corner, just south of the main intersection. Chef Jam leads the kitchen, guiding each seating through a multi-course Edomae sushi tasting that moves from sashimi to nigiri, a warm grilled course, and smaller accompaniments, with selections driven by what's available that day rather than a fixed menu.
The restaurant is English friendly and seats guests only at the counter, which keeps the experience compact and focused on the direct exchange between chef and diner. It falls into the upscale price tier, consistent with a chef's-choice tasting format rather than an à la carte menu.
Hours run from 5pm to 10pm Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday through Friday, and from 3pm to 10pm on Saturday and Sunday. The restaurant is closed Tuesdays. Reservations are handled through Resy, and given the limited counter seating, booking ahead is advisable rather than walking in.
For questions on specific course counts, current pricing, or same-day availability, contact the restaurant directly at (617) 383-5524 or check the Resy listing, since omakase offerings can shift with the season and daily sourcing.
