About the restaurant
In the charming confines just off Ponsonby Road in Auckland, Cocoro is a journey for the senses… a celebration of contemporary Japanese cuisine served with heart and soul. Step inside and be greeted by the warm embrace of an old brick building transformed into a sleek culinary haven. With each visit, Cocoro provides a bespoke culinary adventure known as ichigo ichie. Let Chef Makoto Tokuyama be your guide as you explore three meticulously curated degustation menus or indulge in your favourites from the à la carte selection. With recent accolades including 3 Hats at the Cuisine Good Food Awards and recognition in The World’s 50 Best Discovery, Cocoro is a testament to culinary excellence.
