Sushi Akira 2nd Anniversary X ICCA
Sushi Akira marks its 2nd anniversary with ICCA in a collaborative chef-counter omakase in New York City.

Sushi Akira’s anniversary collaboration with ICCA is an exclusive omakase dining experience in New York City.
This event centers on Sushi Akira’s second anniversary through a collaborative omakase with ICCA. The format is described as an exclusive anniversary dining experience, with the collaboration itself as the defining feature rather than a standard restaurant service. ICCA is identified in the event description as Michelin-starred, and the program is framed around omakase, so the useful planning point is the format: a chef-led tasting structure tied to the anniversary collaboration.
The omakase is served across seatings at the chef counter. That detail matters because the event is not described simply as a general dinner or à la carte service; the available information points to a counter-based format with seatings. No menu items, course count, beverage pairings, price, or ticket availability are provided, so those details are not included here.
The named Sushi Akira participant is Nikki Zheng, identified as Chef-Owner of Sushi Akira. The named ICCA participant is Kazushige Suzuki, identified as Chef-Owner and Lead Chef of ICCA. Those are the only individual participants named for the program, so the chef information should stay focused on those two roles rather than adding additional collaborators or kitchen details.
The collaboration brings together Sushi Akira and ICCA, both identified as New York City restaurants in the event information. Sushi Akira is also the featured venue for the event. The available details support naming the restaurants and their city, but they do not support claims about awards beyond ICCA’s Michelin-starred description in the event summary, house style, signature dishes, or prior collaborations.
The featured venue is Sushi Akira, a restaurant at 317 E 75th St in New York City. The event timing is associated with an evening schedule and listed seatings, with the recorded end falling after the start.
