Cocoro, Ponsonby

Exclusive eight-seat sushi omakase showcasing New Zealand kai moana paired with a premium beverage experience by Chef Makoto Tokuyama of Three-Hat Cocoro and NZ Top 100 Sommelier Tony Suarez.

Cocoro, led by chef-owner Makoto Tokuyama, is an award-winning Japanese restaurant in Ponsonby, Auckland, renowned for its contemporary Japanese cuisine, seasonal degustation menus, and exceptional seafood. The unassuming location on Brown Street, Ponsonby should not fool anyone - Cocoro has retained 3 Hats in the Cuisine Good Food Guide since 2018 - the highest possible award.

You can expect dishes to include ingredients such as toro + akami southern Bluefin tuna, Haku kingfish, Kagoshima A 5 Wagyu beef tataki, Hokkaido scallops with Levin yuzu peel, black foot paua with Kimo sauce, kina and ikura salmon caviar.

Cocoro, meaning "heart and soul" in Japanese, reflects the restaurant's commitment to thoughtful hospitality and meticulous cuisine.
