Spring Set Menu
Inspired by the timeless Japanese tradition, Akabeko’s Spring Set Menu celebrates the art of kaiseki dining – a philosophy where every dish tells a story through flavor, presentation and seasonality.
The culinary journey begins with a Hassun platter, a harmonious selection of small, seasonal bites featuring Wagyu crispy rice, seasonal Wagyu bites, Tamagoyaki, spinach with Japanese mustard, Wagyu Temari sushi with Uni, an Ikura bowl, tempura, and Chawanmushi. This is followed by a comforting Shimeji Miso Soup, a kombu dashi broth, and the Tabletop Grill experience, which showcases three premium cuts of Japanese A5 Wagyu, carefully selected by the chefs.
For the main course, diners can explore Gohan or “cooked meal” where they can choose from Wagyu stew, Wagyu curry rice, or Yuzu Ramen. The meal concludes with a dessert platter featuring Chocolate Swiss Roll with Strawberry, a Strawberry Macaron, and Sakura Mochi, for a sweet ending.
