Edinburgh’s Favourite Japanese Caterer

Harajuku Kitchen has been serving authentic Japanese cuisine in Edinburgh since 2013 , from our roots as a Japanese street food stall at Stockbridge Market to our award-winning restaurant in Bruntsfield. That same passion for quality, authenticity, and flavour is at the heart of everything we bring to your event.

As the official caterer for the Consulate General of Japan in Scotland, the Scottish Japan Society, the Japanese Chamber of Commerce in Scotland, and Scottish Rugby Union, we have a proven track record delivering Japanese food at the highest level for occasions that demand nothing less.

What We Offer

We tailor our catering to suit your event, your venue, and your guests. Here’s a flavour of what we can bring:

Sushi Platters

Perfect for: office lunches, corporate events, parties, celebrations, home gatherings

Our sushi platters are elegant, crowd-pleasing, and crafted with the same care as our restaurant menu. Choose from a selection of classic and seasonal rolls, nigiri, and more — all presented beautifully for any occasion.

Ideal for smaller events: We offer takeaway pre-orders of sushi platters with a minimum of 24 hours notice.

Gyoza & Noodles

Perfect for: casual events, street food-style service, markets, festivals

If you’ve spotted us at Edinburgh’s markets and festivals, you’ll know our gyoza dumplings and udon noodle stir fries are hard to resist. This street food-style service is relaxed, vibrant, and always a hit.

Larger Group Buffet

Perfect for: weddings, corporate hospitality, large celebrations

For bigger occasions, we can design a bespoke Japanese buffet menu based on your guests’ preferences, the size of your group, and the facilities available at your venue. Choose your favourites from our authentic Japanese dishes — or let us curate the full experience.

Our buffet offering is currently being updated with new packages. In the meantime, we’ll work with you directly to design something that fits your event perfectly.

Planning Your Event Catering

We keep the process simple. Here’s what to expect:

  1. Get in touch — fill in our contact form or give us a call with the details of your event.
  2. We’ll discuss your needs — group size, venue, service style, dietary requirements, and budget.
  3. We design your menu — tailored to your event and what’s available at your venue.
  4. We take care of the rest — setup, service, and clean-down included where applicable.

Please note: Set-up and staffing fees apply based on equipment required and service times. A travel fee may apply for venues outside of central Edinburgh.

What We Need to Know About Your Venue

To plan your catering effectively, it helps to know:

  • Whether the venue has cooking facilities we can use
  • Whether there is a preparation area available (we can bring our own equipment if needed)
  • Whether we’d need to bring a gazebo and outdoor kitchen

Not sure? Don’t worry — just get in touch and we’ll figure it out together.
