Koto – Where Tradition Meets Taste
In the heart of Kathmandu, Koto was born out of a simple yet powerful idea: to bring authentic Japanese cuisine to those who appreciate true quality. It all started with a passion for tradition and a desire to share the flavors of Japan with those who crave something more than just food. For years, Koto has been more than just a restaurant — it’s been a gathering place where people from all walks of life connect over timeless dishes.
Our Philosophy
At Koto, we don’t just serve food. We bring a taste of Japan to life with every meal. We honor tradition by using fresh, locally sourced ingredients and authentic Japanese cooking methods that have been passed down through generations. Every dish, from sushi to ramen, is made with love, care, and a deep respect for the art of Japanese cuisine. It’s about the flavors, the techniques, and the passion that goes into each bite.
Meet Our Chef
Leading the kitchen is our Head Chef SUDIP XYZ, whose expertise and deep-rooted knowledge of Japanese cuisine come from years of training and experience in Japan’s finest kitchens. Chef SUDIP brings not only technical skill but a deep respect for the tradition that makes Koto’s dishes so special. His vision is clear – to deliver an authentic Japanese experience that speaks directly to the soul of each guest.
Alongside Chef Sudip, the Koto team works tirelessly to create the perfect dining experience. From the front of the house to the kitchen, each member of our team is dedicated to ensuring your visit feels like family.
Our Mission
To provide the true taste of Japan while creating a warm, welcoming environment where every guest feels at home. Whether it’s your first meal with us or your hundredth, we want you to leave with more than just a full stomach — we want you to feel part of the Koto family.
Our Vision
At Koto, we don’t just serve food; we serve a legacy. A legacy built on authenticity, craftsmanship, and sustainability. We envision a dining experience that goes beyond the plate — one rooted in care, quality, and environmental responsibility.
