About Kokoro
Kokoro brings Japanese food to the Raumati Beach area, making it a handy stop for anyone eating out in Paraparaumu. It sits right in the heart of Paraparaumu, within walking distance of the centre.
Diners come here for Japanese food. If it is your first visit, look out for classics of the style such as tonkotsu ramen.
Kokoro is open seven days a week. The earliest start is 10 am on Mondays, and the latest finish is 4 pm on Mondays. In total it trades for about 40 hours each week.
For budgeting, Japanese restaurants of this kind in New Zealand typically cost around $40–$70 per person (Mid-to-upper range). The neighbourhood is a busy food area – there are at least 3 other places to eat within a kilometre, so you have plenty of options for drinks before or dessert after.
