In addition to the food, Wagamama is introducing a range of new drinks to its brunch menu, including cocktails and mocktails. Standouts include a breakfast in Tokyo, a sweet and zesty papaya gin with a blood orange and yuzu sherbet kick, topped with prosecco, and a spicy mary, their twist on a classic served with haku vodka, soy, teriyaki and spices (also available as a mocktail).
The menu will also offer mindful mocktails like the fiery spiced plum, orange and ginger juice and an espresso coke to which customers can add a scoop of miso caramel vegan ice cream. For coffee lovers, Wagamama is partnering with London-born coffee brand, Grind, to serve up lattes and americanos aplenty.
Come July, Wagamama and Grind will hit the road with the ‘Grind bus’. Wagamama continues its partnership with Jenki, introducing the delicious new matcha latte and the iced strawberry and matcha latte.
For those seeking something a bit lighter, they can opt for the refreshing, revitalising acai bowls with fresh fruit, toasted soya wow butter and crunchy granola. Also on offer is a creamy chia and coconut overnight oats topped with nourishing mandarin and sour cherry.
Kay Bartlett, chief marketing officer, announced: “We’ve seen an increase in consumer demand for an all-day dining offering and appetite for brunch dishes. This announcement is in response to that, and we’re thrilled to introduce our Wagamama take on brunch.”
She further added, “The decision to open our restaurants at 8.30am has involved a great amount of hard work and dedication from our brilliant teams and we’re all really proud and excited about this latest round of innovation and chapter in the Wagamama story.”
