If you’re a foodie in Dubai with a soft spot for premium Wagyu, buckle up—Akabeko is rolling out a spectacular lineup of indulgences this February, and it’s downright irresistible. Nestled in Palm Jumeirah, this Japanese tabletop Yakiniku haven is dishing out everything from a luxurious Valentine’s Day feast to a quirky Wagyu Jenga experience (yes, you read that right). So, if you’ve been waiting for a reason to treat yourself (or that special someone), consider this your official invitation.
A Valentine’s Day Feast Fit for Romance
Forget cliché dinner dates—this Valentine’s Day, Akabeko is pulling out all the stops with an opulent kaiseki-style Spring Set Menu that’s as romantic as it is delicious. The love affair begins with a Hassun platter loaded with Wagyu crispy rice, melt-in-your-mouth sushi, tempura, and a symphony of seasonal Japanese delights. Then, it’s time to sip on a warm, umami-rich Shimeji Miso Soup before diving into the star of the show: the Tabletop Grill featuring three luscious cuts of Japanese A5 Wagyu, cooked to perfection right at your table.
For the main course, you get choices—because love is all about compromise, right? Pick from a comforting Wagyu stew, a soul-warming Yuzu Ramen, or a rich Wagyu curry rice. And since no date night is complete without a sweet ending, the dessert platter delivers big with a Chocolate Swiss Roll, a Strawberry Macaron, and a delicate Sakura Mochi.
Date: February 13th – 16th (All Day)
Price: AED 950 for two
Matcha Madness: A Japanese Afternoon Tea Like No Other

To complete the experience, sip on a curated selection of hot, cold, and even sparkling Japanese teas from Mucharaka Tea. Fancy a Mango Green Tea? Or maybe a Matcha Latte? The choice is yours.
