Say Hello to Tokki Tora: Mumbai’s Beloved Japanese Dining Destination Gets a Playful New Identity

By Author

Published on December 26, 2025

After more than a decade of being Mumbai’s go-to destination for authentic Japanese cuisine, Kofuku Mumbai enters an exciting new chapter as Tokki Tora. While the name has evolved, the heart of the brand remains unchanged. The flavours, the hospitality, and the spirit that Mumbai has cherished over the years continue just as before.

Kofuku has long been synonymous with soulful Japanese flavours, warm tatami-style dining, and memorable moments shared with friends and family. With Tokki Tora, the brand embraces its evolution through a fresh and playful identity that reflects its deep-rooted connection with guests and its vibrant personality.

At the centre of this transformation is Tokki Tora’s spirited rabbit mascot, a charming symbol of warmth, joy, and human connection. More than a visual element, the mascot acts as a friendly ambassador for the brand, embodying Tokki Tora’s promise of thoughtful hospitality and memorable dining experiences delivered with a playful twist. To celebrate this rebrand, Tokki Tora is set to roll out surprise giveaways, immersive Instagram-worthy moments, and engaging guest interactions. Curated collaborations and special pop-ups are also planned, making this transformation more than a name change—it marks a cultural moment for Japanese and Korean dining in Mumbai.

Sharing his thoughts on the rebrand, Amit Goel, Stakeholder, said, “Kofuku has been a beautiful journey filled with memories, people, and joy. As we turn the page, I’m excited to introduce Tokki Tora, carrying that same spirit forward in a new light. Our rabbit mascot brings playfulness and warmth, creating a deeper connection with every guest. This is not just a new name, but an evolution of the love we’ve built together, now with even more character and energy.”

Despite the new identity, guests can continue to enjoy the same much-loved menu offerings, including meticulously crafted sushi, comforting ramen bowls, delicate dim sums, and Korean Hengbok favourites such as Shin Noodle Soup, Vegetable Kimbap, and Fried Korean Chicken. These signature dishes are complemented by the warm hospitality that made Kofuku one of Mumbai’s most loved dining destinations. Tokki Tora adds a new layer of storytelling, blending Japanese and Korean traditions with contemporary cultural charm that resonates with today’s diners.

With outlets across Andheri, Lower Parel, and Powai, Tokki Tora proudly carries forward Kofuku’s culinary legacy while redefining the modern Japanese dining experience—authentic yet playful, rooted yet evolving.

Tokki Tora is not just a new name. It is the next chapter of a story Mumbai already loves, now infused with more warmth, character, and joy.
