Hand-rolled maki and reverse uramaki rolls come alongside warm bento plates at this licensed Japanese spot run by husband-and-wife duo Yoshi and Helen Kono, who draw on Japanese recipes, ingredients, and family crest designs. The kitchen turns out savoury okonomiyaki pancakes (\$18 as at 2026), negi takoyaki octopus balls (\$18 as at 2026), and sashimi sets with salmon, tuna, scallop, and prawn (\$26 as at 2026), alongside karaage chicken or tofu plates served with red rice and yuzu slaw. They cater for office morning teas and private events, run evening sushi-making masterclasses with sake and bamboo mats to take home, and discount unsold sushi to half price between 2.30pm and 2.45pm on weekdays.
Set within the bustling Press Hall food precinct on Willis Street in Wellington Central, it provides a handy counter for quick CBD lunches, online ordering, and dine-in drinks from the bar. While their older Lambton Quay branch has closed, this central spot remains a reliable weekday hub for fresh rolls and hot bowls. Our pick in Wellington Central for hands-on group sushi classes over a drink.
