MOTOFOODIE

Started in 2025, IKOI Tokyo in JP Nagar is more than a Japanese restaurant. It’s also a Japanese bakery offering an enticing selection of freshly baked breads and cakes, complemented by a café serving hot and cold coffee, Japanese teas, and a selection of matcha-based beverages.

The First Impression:

Serving a delicious selection of vegetarian and non-vegetarian Japanese food, IKOI Tokyo has a relaxed, neighbourhood-café feel rather than the formality of Japanese fine dining.

The space works equally well for a casual lunch, an evening meal, or simply coffee and dessert.

The overall experience is relaxed and pleasant—come hungry, take your time, explore the menu, and enjoy Japanese food at your own pace.
