Miso Soba Teriyaki Chicken
I Love My Mummy’s Waffles
Cocoro
Highly recommended tasting menu at Cocoro in Ponsonby, Auckland. I’ve never seen Japanese food prepared with so much care and passion like they do at Cocoro.
Everything there came with a surprising contemporary twist, whilst retaining the simple, clean flavors you’d expect from Japanese food.
Colour me impressed.
