Our environmental and social efforts
Community involvement
Most of the fish used are from the local Seto Inland Sea. Even though they are generally considered to be common fish, by providing them with the exceptional freshness that can only be found locally, we are able to enhance the value of the fish and support the local fishing industry.
Our sustainability efforts
Rather than catching fish randomly, we prioritize direct transactions with fishermen who target high-quality adult fish and add value by subjecting them to appropriate processing such as nerve-killing. We support fishermen who catch only the necessary amount of valuable fish, rather than traditional fishing methods that catch large amounts of fish that have no market value.

ChefJunji Akase - The best fish from the Seto Inland Sea in the best possible form
Born in Hakatajima, Ehime Prefecture in 1975. After graduating from a culinary school, he honed his skills at Senkichi Sushi in Osaka. He opened Akakichi in 2001. He traveled around Japan with Junichi Fujimoto, a fisherman from the Kurushima Straits, eating fish, and working to improve his fishing, fish processing, and cooking techniques. He was awarded one Michelin star in 2018.
Others Strong ties with the world-famous fisherman Junichi Fujimoto
The sushi at Akakichi cannot be discussed without mentioning the world-renowned fisherman Junichi Fujimoto. In addition to his outstanding fishing techniques that do not harm the fish, Fujimoto also uses his own unique processing method to transform the fish he catches into the finest ingredients. Akase and Fujimoto have been teaming up for the past 20 years, exploring and honing their skills in the pursuit of how to create the ultimate fish dishes, including sushi. Fujimoto was awarded the Terroir Award at the Japanese edition of the Goët Mi Yot 2021, which is given to producers who are taking on unique challenges.
Others Tamagoyaki, a specialty full of surprises and delights
Akakichi is committed to the pursuit of deliciousness, not only through sushi and Japanese Cuisine techniques, but also through the flexible adoption of cooking methods and seasonings from Chinese and Western Cuisine. The sushi and a la carte dishes are full of surprises. One of the specialties, tamagoyaki, is a unique dish filled with plenty of rice inside, in the form of a raw egg on rice. Many regular customers look forward to this dish.
Using superior techniques to transform first-class fish into ingredients of another dimension, this is a one-of-a-kind sushi restaurant that brings together the finest fish from the Seto Inland Sea.
Located on Hakata Island, a stopover on the Shimanami Kaido, this restaurant is known for capturing the hearts of sushi fans and fish enthusiasts from all over Japan. Most of the fish used for the top
...pings are from the Seto Inland Sea. It is a one-of-a-kind sushi restaurant where you can taste the finest fish selected by the world-renowned fisherman Junichi Fujimoto, who is said to always have dozens of first-class chefs waiting in line to do business with him. The specialty is mainly white fish such as sea bream, pomfret, grunt, and Spanish mackerel. In addition to sushi that is perfectly balanced with the mild rice, you can enjoy a wide variety of dishes.
