June F&B Delights at Akabeko Dubai

Alright Dubai foodies, let’s talk beef. Not just any meat—we’re talking A5 Wagyu so tender it practically bows to your taste buds before melting in your mouth. Welcome to Akabeko, Dubai’s first tabletop Yakiniku restaurant, where June is sizzling with sushi, steak, and some very playful twists on tradition. Tucked into the glamorous Palm Jumeirah, this is not your average Japanese joint—it’s a wagyu wonderland wrapped in wasabi dreams.

Whether you’re team sushi, team teppan, or team “I came for the ‘gram,” there’s something juicy waiting for you this month. Ready? Let’s break it down like a chopstick snap.

International Sushi Day

June 18 marks International Sushi Day, but Akabeko said, “Why not celebrate all year?” Their luxe lineup puts your average sushi roll to shame. Think: Wagyu Nigiri that slides down like silk, Supreme Nigiri crowned with buttery Hokkaido uni, and Wagyu Gunkan topped with golden ikura pearls. This is sushi dressed in haute couture.

Prices range from AED 85 to AED 490, so whether you’re treating yourself or making it rain, there’s a sushi for your situation.

The Three-Tier Set Menu

Akabeko is making your dining decisions delightfully difficult with their Three-Tier Set Menu—because one-size-fits-all is so 2024.

• The Akabeko Set (AED 450): Your gateway Wagyu experience. Six courses, perfect for first-timers who want to dip a toe (or tongue) into Japanese Yakiniku.
• The Signature Set (AED 700): Ten courses, because you deserve variety and maybe some bragging rights.
• The Ultimate Set (AED 950): Twelve courses of pure indulgence. Truffle? Foie gras? Scallops? Check, check, and checkmate. Just remember, this one’s pre-paid and reservation only, because exclusivity tastes better.
