Sushi To Go: San Francisco

The ever-evolving Akiko’s Restaurant takes pride in continuously pushing boundaries to balance creativity, nostalgia, and an element of surprise. The team sources both locally and from Tokyo’s Toyosu Fish Market. Peruse the virtual sushi shop for curated omakase, weekly specials, à la carte bites, and bottles of sake.

The menu at Omakase reflects chef Jackson Yu’s tireless refinement and pursuit of authentic traditional Japanese sushi. Choose from assorted sashimi, classic nigiri boxes, Hokkaido uni donburi, and more. Pair your meal with a bottle of champagne or some Kyoto Matcha IPAs.

Renowned chefs Ken Tominaga and Yukinori Yamamoto are creating luxurious sushi bento boxes. They change daily depending on the fresh fish that arrives, though each box contains sashimi, nigiri, and signature rolls. Order your bento along with batched Japanese Highballs.

This contemporary Japanese robata specializes in Japanese steaks, seafood, sushi, and tempura. The menu features family meals (one of which is dedicated to sushi), crispy sashimi tacos, chirashi, and poached lobster rolls. And you can get your very own Nikka or Suntory Whisky flight.
