Lockdown 2.0 has officially ended and critically acclaimed Japanese restaurant Akira is once again ready to welcome guests with Japanese omotenashi hospitality. But don’t worry if you aren’t ready to venture out just yet, Akira’s exquisite dishes are now available, for the first time, for delivery in selected postcodes across North West London.
REJOICE! AKIRA RESTAURANT REOPENS
For post-lockdown luxury, dine at the restaurant on Kensington High street for Insta-worthy bento boxes filled with skilfully-sliced sashimi, innovative sushi and spectacular sumiyaki, cooked on the flaming charcoal grill and delivered to the table sizzling hot on lava stones.
From 14th – 24th December, Chef Akira will be inviting guests to an unforgettably indulgent and memorable festive feast, available for lunch and dinner for £100pp. Delight in five courses including seared Wagyu sirloin and sea urchin served with yuzu flavour rice, natural salt and wasabi; Kombu pressed soy sauce marinated salmon served with truffle and matured cheese; and matcha roll cake.
The menu also includes a seasonal sashimi box, in which the jewel-like individual hand-painted pots and bowls perfectly showcase the harmony of traditional Japanese cuisine and modern European elements, and a delicious, seasonal cocktail of Kokoro gin, lime, cranberry and a splash of celebratory Champagne.
Now retail is back open, take a break for shopping on Ken High Street and enjoy the Akira afternoon tea – a perfect festive treat. This exquisite Japanese-inspired tea for two platter comprises Japan’s best-loved savoury and sweet treats and a choice of teas, add a glass of sparkling sake for an additional £7.
