Haru Japanese kitchen

Welcome to Haru Japanese Kitchen!

We are a small, independent Japanese kitchen based in Manchester, bringing authentic Japanese flavours to your events.

I'm a Japanese chef, born and raised in Japan, with professional culinary experience and trained at a Michelin-starred restaurant in Tokyo.

My passion is sharing the food I grew up with and introducing people to the wonderful flavours of Japan. At Haru Japanese Kitchen, every dish is freshly prepared with care, using quality ingredients and traditional Japanese flavours.

Our menu includes Japanese favourites such as crispy chicken karaage, freshly prepared bento boxes, Japanese curry, gyudon and a selection of delicious finger foods. Everything on our menu is made from scratch, except for our bread.

We use halal meat and offer vegan and gluten-free options, making it easier to cater for guests with different dietary preferences.

Whether you're organising an office lunch, a team gathering, a birthday party or a small private event, we'd love to help make your occasion special with delicious Japanese food made with passion and care.

Born and raised in Japan, I've always had a passion for cooking and sharing good food with others.

After moving to the UK, I wanted to introduce more people to the Japanese dishes I grew up enjoying. That's what inspired me to open Haru Japanese Kitchen in Manchester.

My goal is simple: to share authentic Japanese flavours and bring a little taste of Japan to the local community.

I have several years of professional experience in the food industry, including working at Japanese restaurants in Japan and the UK, as well as training at a Michelin-starred restaurant in Tokyo.

In August 2026, I opened Haru Japanese Kitchen in Manchester, bringing together my professional experience and passion for authentic Japanese food.

Although Haru Japanese Kitchen is a relatively new business, I take pride in preparing our dishes from scratch and sharing the flavours of Japan with our customers.

We welcome both businesses and private customers looking for freshly prepared, authentic Japanese food in Manchester.

Our catering is ideal for office lunches, business meetings, team gatherings, birthday parties and small private events.

We offer a variety of Japanese dishes, including halal-friendly, vegan and gluten-free options, to suit different dietary preferences.

Haru Japanese Kitchen is a registered food business with Manchester City Council.

I have professional experience working in Japanese restaurants, as well as training at a Michelin-starred restaurant in Tokyo.

We are committed to maintaining high standards of food hygiene, safety and quality.
