A TASTE OF JAPAN<br />
Akasaka, local authentic Japanese Kitchen, is based<br />
in Wolverton where owners, John and Julie, have<br />
impressed customers with tasty offerings since<br />
2014. Their food is artistic, colourful and precise in<br />
presentation and it’s also incredibly healthy.<br />
Japanese food is low in calories, has the perfect<br />
nutritional balance and at Akasaka they use the<br />
freshest ingredients. Here, you will be guaranteed<br />
an incredible selection of superfood dishes.<br />
Recipes like sushi, sashimi, raman, tempura, miso<br />
generally come with vegetarian, fish, and meat<br />
options. Some of the dishes contain raw produce<br />
which is essential to the benefits of this style – high<br />
temperatures can reduce the flavour and nutritional<br />
value. Research shows that key ingredients like soy,<br />
tofu, aduki and edamame beans support a healthy<br />
digestive system. There are also some delicious<br />
Korean, Chinese and Indian influenced dishes to try!<br />
It’s not just about the food here though, you’ll also<br />
love the welcoming experience. Book a table or<br />
order a takeaway. Make sure you sign up to their<br />
website or download the mobile app.<br />
