Japanese Restaurants emphasize on fresh and innovative food that is served with imagination. There are many views of what exactly defines Japanese cuisine as the regular food of the Japanese people has diversified immensely over the past century. The very term, 'Japanese cuisine' or nihon ryori or washoku refers to a traditional Japanese food. In a broader sense, Japanese cuisine also includes foods whose ingredients or methods of preparation were introduced from foreign lands, and which had been redeveloped by the Japanese people who made these recipes their own. Food in Japan is usually of very high quality and diners are generally well-informed.

The Japanese restaurants in Auckland base the cuisine on the concept of combining a mild carbohydrate like rice or noodles with a soup and the okazu. The last mentioned is a dish made of fish, meat, vegetable, tofu and other ingredients that add flavor to the staple food. The Japanese have a traditional way of setting the table that places the rice bowl to the left and the soup to the right. Behind these, each okazu is served on its individual plate. Pickles are often served on the side but are not counted as part of the three okazu.
