If the culinary calendar had a ‘main character’ moment, April at Akabeko would be it. Tucked away in the heart of Palm Jumeirah, this sleek Japanese tabletop Yakiniku spot is flipping the script with experiences that go beyond the grill. Known for dishing out the rarest cuts of Japanese A5 Wagyu with mad precision, Akabeko isn’t just feeding you—it’s serving a vibe, a ritual, and a story with every plate. This April, they’re doing the most—in the best way possible.

A Kaiseki Affair, the Wagyu Way
Let’s start strong with Akabeko’s Spring Set Menu, a multi-course experience that’s basically Japan’s version of storytelling through food. It kicks off with a Hassun platter loaded with everything from Wagyu crispy rice and Uni-topped Temari sushi to Chawanmushi and Ikura bowls. Add in a comforting Shimeji miso soup and the star of the show—the tabletop grill with three A5 Wagyu cuts—and you’re in for a ride. Choose from Wagyu curry rice, stew, or Yuzu ramen for the main course, and wrap it up with a dessert trio starring strawberry macaron, Sakura mochi, and a Swiss roll. All of this? AED 950 for two. Available Tuesday to Sunday (except Mondays), all through April.

Matcha Vibes Only
Afternoon tea, but make it Japanese. Akabeko’s Matcha Afternoon Tea turns traditional high tea into a sensory zen moment. Imagine soft bao buns, Wagyu sliders, and matcha-loaded sweets like dorayaki, roll cake, and caramel matcha pudding—all served with a selection of Japanese teas from Mucharaka (hot, cold, and even sparkling). It’s served from 12pm to 4pm, reservation-only, and priced at AED 185 per person including a complimentary beverage.

Wagyu Jenga Is Real, and You Need It
Yes, they turned Jenga into a food event—and it slaps. Wagyu Jenga is a wild twist on the classic game, where each “block” is actually a marbled cut of A5 Kuroge Wagyu. It’s playful, indulgent, and totally Insta-worthy. Only available via pre-paid reservations for AED 950 (good for 2–4 people), this one’s a flex you’ll want to post about. Add it on via their SevenRooms reservation link or WhatsApp in for more.

The Business Lunch That Means Business
Ditch your sad desk salad. Akabeko’s Teishoku Business Lunch is a masterclass in balance—five Wagyu-forward lunch sets that hit every note. From Wagyu Katsu Curry and stew to Beko Bao and Soondubu, each set comes plated with intention and that classic Japanese sense of harmony. Priced at AED 160 (all in), it’s available Tuesday to Sunday from 12pm to 4pm.

Toast to Wagyu at Happy Hour
Wrap up your workday at Akabeko’s Happy Hour, where the drinks go down smooth and the savings go up. From Tuesday to Friday (6pm to 8pm), enjoy 50% off full pints, 20% off cocktails, and 10% off sake. Perfect for those mid-week reset plans or a pre-dinner chill sesh.

Whether you’re rolling deep with friends, sliding in for a luxe lunch, or just trying to beat the algorithm with some next-level foodie content—Akabeko’s April offerings are unmissable. Each concept blends fun, finesse, and flawless flavor. Make your move now, or risk major FOMO.
