Akira Back Bangkok is set to host a rare, one-night-only
Akira Back Bangkok is set to stage a one-night-only "Caviar & Bubbles" dinner on August 31, 2026, giving diners a chance to experience the restaurant’s glossy Japanese-Korean style in a more extravagant format. According to Now Travel Asia, the five-course menu will lean heavily on premium ingredients and Champagne pairings, with limited seating that makes this more of a special-occasion booking than a casual night out. For travellers staying in Bangkok and looking for a high-end tasting experience, it is designed to feel theatrical as well as indulgent.
The meal begins with a choice of Tuna or Mushroom Pizza topped with Classic Osciètre caviar, truffle and micro shiso, alongside a glass of Veuve Clicquot Brut NV. That is followed by Flounder Carpaccio with Classic Baerii caviar, jalapeño and nanbanzu sauce, matched with Gremillet Blanc de Blancs Brut NV, before Argentinian prawn with Osciètre caviar arrives with nori butter and nasturtium, paired with La Burgondie Crémant de Bourgogne Blanc de Noirs Brut NV. The menu then moves to Kagoshima A5 Wagyu Striploin with Prestige Baerii caviar, rounded off with dessert and a final pour of Champagne Drappier Rosé de Saignée Brut NV, according to the event listing.
The dinner costs THB 6,000++ per person, placing it firmly in the splurge category even by Bangkok standards, but it also fits with Akira Back’s recent run of short-term dining offers. Earlier in 2026, the restaurant ran a "Double the Back – Double the Experience" promotion and a summer truffle menu that highlighted dishes such as its signature truffle mushroom pizza, scallops and Kagoshima beef, underscoring how often the kitchen uses limited-time menus to draw in diners. For visitors deciding whether to book, the appeal here is not just the food but the rarity: a single evening, a compact menu and a setting built for those who want a polished, luxurious night in the city.
