A special Japanese dining experience
AKIRA Restaurant, on the first floor of Japan House London, presents a Japanese dining experience based on its ‘trinity of cooking’ principle – bringing together the finest food, tableware and presentation.
Visit for lunch, afternoon tea or dinner to experience Japanese-style omotenashi hospitality and a theatre of cooking as chefs prepare dishes reflecting Japan’s diverse culinary cultures, using seasonal ingredients over roaring robata (charcoal grill) flames. Highlights of the menu include imaginative sushi specialities and chargrilled kushiyaki skewers made from umami-rich wagyu beef, pork, chicken, seafood and vegetables.
The dining experience is complemented by tableware that has been sourced from artisans across Japan. Guests can also enjoy the cocktail bar adjacent to the restaurant, serving an array of sake and AKIRA’s original cocktails, made using Japanese ingredients including rare sake. Private dining is also available in the tatami room.
We welcome diners from the age of four. We may occasionally be able to accommodate babies, but as the number of highchairs and the space for prams is limited, please contact the restaurant in advance to check. We do not allow pets, except for assistance dogs.
