San Francisco’s Premier All-You-Can-Eat Sushi and Sashimi Experience with Japanese Sake
About this Event

🎉 Akari Japanese Bistro Premier Tuna Cutting Experience

Join us for an unforgettable evening of Japanese culinary craftsmanship at Akari Japanese Bistro on Saturday, April 11, 2026, beginning at 6:00 PM (PT).

Experience a Live Bluefin Tuna Cutting Performance, followed by all-you-can-eat tuna sashimi and sushi, prepared fresh before your eyes.

Watch our master chef expertly break down an entire bluefin tuna using traditional Japanese techniques, while sharing the history, precision, and artistry behind this centuries-old practice. Immediately following the performance, enjoy sashimi and sushi prepared from the very same fish—at the peak of freshness.

This is a signature regular event at Akari Japanese Bistro and has become one of San Francisco’s most sought-after Japanese dining experiences.
