Takara means jewel in Japanese, and Takara restaurant on The Strand has been a jewel in Tauranga’s restaurant scene for a number of years, offering increasingly popular Japanese food to locals and visitors alike.

We always showcase Japanese cuisine beyond the standard fare of sushi, and our new updated lunch and dinner menus are reflective of this, encouraging diners to experience more Japanese flavours and cooking styles.

Takara caters both for large groups, families as well as more intimate dining, with a variety of seating both inside and out the restaurant.
