WAKAME opened its first store in July 2008 on Rawdah Street in Jeddah. The idea to open WAKAME was driven by our dismay of not being able to enjoy great tasting sushi unless one was traveling abroad. Hence the WAKAME business model was built around investing behind securing the highest quality ingredients and sushi making processes. This led to an operation focused almost exclusively on delivery, take way and two small dine-in tables. Alhamdulilah in this very short period of time WAKAME has managed to establish itself as a destination for sushi lovers in Jeddah.
