Akami Sushi Bar has opened its doors in Apex. While its regular menu features a large variety of fish, the estaurant also offers an omakase (“leave it up to you”) option on Friday and Saturday nights. The omakase experience requires a reservation and includes one hour of chef-selected sushi brought to your table continuously as it’s made— usually consisting of about 18 courses. Online ordering from the regular menu is also available.
