Okay, real talk: if your April plans don’t involve a sizzling tabletop, buttery slices of A5 Wagyu, and a cheeky round of edible Jenga, then what are we even doing with our lives?
Welcome to Akabeko, tucked into the glitzy heart of Palm Jumeirah, and proudly waving the flag as Dubai’s first tabletop Yakiniku Japanese restaurant. Aka, the place where dreams are grilled to perfection, and chopsticks are your magic wands. This April, Akabeko is unleashing a flavor tsunami with enough Wagyu to make your taste buds do a backflip. Ready? Let’s meat—uh, meet—the lineup.
Spring Set Menu: A Love Letter to Wagyu
Let’s start with the crown jewel: the Spring Set Menu. This isn’t just a meal—it’s an edible mood board. Imagine kicking things off with a fancy little Hassun platter—think wagyu crispy rice, tempura, sushi, and more beautifully plated than your Instagram feed. Then comes the Shimeji Miso Soup (comfort in a bowl), before you’re handed the holy grail: three epic cuts of Japanese A5 Wagyu grilled right at your table.
Main course? You’ve got choices: will it be the rich Wagyu stew, the comforting Wagyu curry rice, or the zesty kick of Yuzu ramen? And just when you think you can’t anymore, a dessert platter waltzes in with a Chocolate Swiss Roll, a cute Strawberry Macaron, and Sakura Mochi—because why not end sweetly?

Matcha Made in Heaven: Afternoon Tea with a Twist
Put down that scone and raise your pinky—Afternoon Tea at Akabeko is going full Tokyo-mode. Think matcha-infused everything: croissants, dorayaki, pudding, macarons… paired with savory bites like Wagyu sliders and Grilled Rice Balls.
The vibe? Zen garden chic. The drinks? An elegant trio of hot, cold, and sparkling Mucharaka teas. It’s like your palate went on a spa day and came back fluent in Japanese.

Why play with wooden blocks when you can stack A5 Wagyu beef instead? Say hello to Wagyu Jenga—a brilliant, beefy twist on your favorite childhood game (minus the sibling rivalry). It’s fun, it’s meaty, it’s juicy chaos in the best way.
Perfect for 2-4 meat-loving legends, this is one game night you won’t forget—unless the food coma hits first.
