Kohan Restaurant Review

This Japanese restaurant at the foot of Mount Cook is really worth a try. The ingredients here are very fresh, and the traditional Japanese cooking method is used, which is not only exquisite but also delicious. Especially the seafood here is very fresh, the meat is plump, and it is definitely worth a try.

This Japanese restaurant was recommended by the driver in the South Island. Although I like Japanese food, I feel a little uncomfortable eating it in New Zealand... After experiencing it myself, I completely relieved my concerns, because the two best features of this restaurant are actually plus points! 1. Panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows We staggered the lunch rush hour, and we were lucky to be arranged directly to the window seat after arriving at the restaurant. In the distance was the super healing milky blue Lake Tekapo, and we could even see the famous Internet celebrity attraction-the Church of the Good Shepherd~~~~~~~   2. Fresh salmon There are two relatively large salmon breeding bases in the South Island, one of which is not far from the town of Tekapo. They live in an environment of snow-capped mountain meltwater and can be called "noble species", so the salmon dishes here are also super cost-effective! Kohan Bento (Lakeside Bento): The restaurant's signature must-order set meal, with 4 large plates containing sashimi (salmon, tuna), pork chop + fried shrimp salad, tamagoyaki + fried salmon cubes, steamed rice, kimchi side dishes, etc., very rich. Pork katsu (Japanese fried pork chop): A very "solid" pork chop, not only big but also very thick! Paired with vegetable and fruit salad, dipped in black pepper sauce, it feels like a good afternoon tea with a cup of coffee~~~~~~~   Tempura Combination (Assorted Tempura): There are several kinds of seafood and vegetable tempura such as salmon, cucumber, prawns, green and red peppers, etc., dipped in a specially prepared sauce is simply the icing on the cake! Agedashi Tofu (Japanese fried tofu): Tender tofu is coated with a thin layer of batter and deep-fried until the skin peels off. It is served with a specially prepared, delicious and fragrant sauce. It is a snack before the meal. Let’s learn about it~~~~~~~   After the meal, you can walk to the lakeside and take in the scenery. The scenery here is unique!

This Japanese restaurant in Lake Tekapo is very good. The dining environment is very elegant and quiet, with a warm feeling like a Japanese izakaya. All the ingredients of the dishes here are very fresh, the taste is super good, and the quantity is relatively larger than that of dishes in other places. It is delicious and cost-effective, with a very high cost performance.

There seem to be only three restaurants in Lake Tekapo, one of which is Japanese cuisine, which is here. The environment is decorated in a log style, which is relatively simple The service is quite friendly, and the waiters have badges showing what language they can speak, which is convenient for communication The "Lakeside Set Meal" is a must-order dish. The food is fresh and filling, and the combination is very balanced! The "Plum Wine" is made by the chef himself, and it is very delicious. We like this sweet taste, haha, recommended!

Kohan Japanese Restaurant by Lake Tekapo, the operator has improved Japanese cuisine. The most recommended dish is the salmon rice bowl, with fresh salmon slices on top of the rice, plus the soy sauce that is unique to Japanese cuisine, it is a return to the natural flavor, the taste is very good. In addition, the sashimi here is also quite good, because New Zealand seafood is better than Japan, it is definitely the most delicious in the world.
