Here’s why TOKii’s perfect for Wagyu-obsessed Londoners

Londoners who love Wagyu need to visit TOKii

Japanese Wagyu has spread throughout the UK in recent years, gaining popularity and garnering high praise from chefs and gourmets alike. Londoners are absolutely no exception to this, so if you’re craving Wagyu steak in the capital for your dining venture, we’ve got just the place. Step forward TOKii at The Prince Akatoki Hotel London and its delicious Wagyu offering…

With a prime focus on sushi, sashimi, seafood and meat cooked on the Robata grill, the food at TOKii is all about the use of fresh and international ingredients, bringing the best of East and West to the menus.

The service and presentation is there to elevate your dining experience and ensure you have a memorable time. And when it comes to the Wagyu, we can guarantee a memorable time you will have!

The Prince Akatoki’s in-house restaurant is where Wagyu beef takes centre stage. Reminiscent of traditional Japanese methods, the Wagyu is served on a hot stone which completely enhances the rich, decadent aromas of this wonderful meat. Known for its rich marbling and melt-in-your mouth texture, TOKii’s Wagyu is sourced from the finest Japanese Wagyu cattle, ensuring the succulent tenderness of each bite. The Wagyu here is accompanied by roasted vegetables and drizzled with truffle Ponzo, which is simply outstanding.

TOKii has created a sensational blend of Japanese tradition and modern innovation that redefines the art of gastronomy – especially when it comes to serving Wagyu steak.

Japanese Wagyu is graded by how much usable meat comes from the cow. Grade A means a high yield of meat, whereas Grade B means an average yield and Grace C means a low yield. Each grade is then judged by the quality of the fat and its colour, before being labelled from one to five (with five being superior). So if you’ve ever seen a restaurant menu touting Grade A5 Japanese Wagyu, you now know why it’s so special.

And guess what? TOKii boasts seared A5 wagyu, which comes served with kizami wasabi and sweet soy as part of its Signature Hand Roll and its Signature Nigiri. Best of all, however, is the Japanese Wagyu Grade A5 steak that comes served on the hot stone, as talked about above.

Nestled in the heart of Marylebone, just moments away from Hyde Park, The Prince Akatoki London invites guests to immerse themselves in Japanese hospitality. As spring paints the city in vibrant hues, the Japanese cherry blossoms herald a season of renewal and tranquility.

With 82 exquisitely designed rooms adorned with traditional Yukata gowns and infused with the scents of MALIN+GOETZ toiletries, guests are transported to a world of tranquility. This is where you can indulge in fusion delights at TOKii and even master the art of sushi with a sushi masterclass.

Making this 5-star luxury London hotel its home, TOKii has brought diners in the capital a truly distinctive and genuine offer in the dining scene of the affluent area of Marylebone and its surroundings.

Wagyu beef is the name given to the four Japanese breeds of beef cattle (Black, Polled, Brown, Shorthorn) and it’s considered of a higher quality than most beef because of the strict grading system that accompanies it. Thanks to its superior Grade A5 Japanese Wagyu offering, TOKii might just be the best place in the capital for this highly sought after, exotic steak.
