A Japanese restaurant where a meal for one with wine costs upwards of £750 has opened in London. The first overseas branch of Aragawa, a Tokyo-based steak specialist, launched on Clarges Street in Mayfair on October 20.
The restaurant is famous in Japan for serving the meat of the Tajima heifer, a breed of ultra-premium Kobe beef. “We are bringing the best quality when it comes to the meat, something you rarely see even in Japan,” Aragawa’s founder Kotaro Ogawa told the Standard. “This means the cost of the meat is very high. We are not just overpricing it because it is London.”
