££££ • Kyoto-style • Lexington
We have wanted to try Akame since moving to Lexington and seeing all the rave reviews. Chef Michael more than lived up to our expectations.
First and foremost, this was one of the most unique and creative omakase experiences we’ve had. More importantly, every course was delicious.
The quality of fish was a stand-out as was the diversity of methods. Having had the pleasure and fortune of visiting top sushi restaurants in Tokyo, I can honestly say this was better than or on par with anything I’ve seen (and eaten).
The icing on the cake was the intimate setting where you could interact with the chef and see how much heart he puts into everything he does. I appreciated how he allowed us our private moments, but sensed when we were interested to learn more.
This is a special place and I hope it’s around for a long, long time. We will be back!
