Makoto’s has transformed the Melbourne event scene by introducing an authentic Japanese catering service that brings the complete restaurant experience to any venue. The establishment’s team of master chefs, trained in traditional Japanese cooking techniques, now offers their expertise for events ranging from intimate gatherings to large corporate functions. What sets Makoto’s catering apart is their commitment to recreating the engaging hibachi and teppanyaki cooking style that has delighted restaurant patrons for years, now available as an interactive element at private events.
