Akatuki: Authentic Japanese Dining in London
With locations in Muswell Hill and Covent Garden, Akatuki brings the essence of Japanese cuisine to North London, offering a menu that ranges from sushi and wagyu to sukiyaki.
The menu is a tribute to Japanese culinary traditions, featuring meticulously handcrafted sushi, robust bowls of sukiyaki, and premium sake selections. The restaurant aims to provide an unparalleled Japanese dining experience, complemented by a serene ambiance that reflects a Japanese morning.
Let’s talk food
The chefs at Akatuki are dedicated to delivering authentic Japanese flavours, using traditional techniques and fresh high-quality ingredients. A special mention to their bento boxes which are a great way to try out multiple dishes such as their sashimi, nigiri, and mini donburi, making for a great sharing course!
Here are some of the photos we took on our visit:
We had to try the Homura (Burning) Stone with Teriyaki chicken which was great theatre for a dish. However the Salmon Teriyaki was the star of the show – trust me and order this!

Venue and Vibes
The interiors of Akatuki reflect the serenity of a Japanese morning, creating a tranquil and inviting atmosphere, creating an ambiance that is a harmonious blend of traditional and contemporary elements, featuring many lanterns along the wall and blossom trees. We also got to see the chefs making the sushi so it was impressive watching them make everything from scratch.
Definitely a stand out destination for authentic Japanese cuisine in London. Its dedication to traditional flavours, serene ambiance, and attentive service make it a must-visit for Japanese food enthusiasts.
