Find us on Port Road, a short stroll from the main shopping block and a five-minute drive from the famous Whangamata surf beach. We are a cash-only business, so please come prepared. For the freshest selection and to avoid disappointment, we recommend visiting earlier in the day, especially during peak summer season.
What truly sets Minato Sushi apart is Kaori’s authentic touch. Every piece of sushi is handcrafted with traditional techniques and a focus on simple, high-quality ingredients. Our menu offers a genuine taste of Japan, from the perfectly seasoned rice to the delicate balance of flavours in our yakisoba and curry, providing a delicious and affordable alternative to standard takeaway fare.
