Japanese food is famous for its amazing variety and its wonderful use of seafood.
The variety of Japanese restaurants is vast. You could choose to have a very traditional Japanese meal or choose a restaurant that uses all the traditional Japanese ingredients tailored to Kiwi tastes!
There are some great Japanese restaurants in Takapuna on the North Shore (Kyoya have a great Mochi Mochi Ice dessert, a combination of vanilla and green tea ice cream wrapped in sticky rice pastry)! Parnell, Ponsonby and Freemans Bay are also great places to find an ’international array’ of cuisine!
