Koji To Share brings contemporary Japanese dining to Victoria Street through a menu built for passing plates around the table. The central Christchurch restaurant has a restrained, minimalist setting that keeps the focus on the food, whether the occasion is dinner for two, a gathering with friends or a private event. Reservations are part of the service, and the evening-only format gives the room a deliberate dinner rhythm. The current name captures the experience clearly: this is not a sequence of isolated courses, but a meal that becomes more interesting as several contrasting dishes arrive together.

Sashimi is treated as a composed dish rather than simply sliced fish. Koji seasons and marinates its seafood with care, allowing texture, acidity and savoury detail to shape each plate. The sashimi moriawase may bring together salmon, tuna and the white fish of the day, making it a useful starting point for the table. Cured salmon offers another expression of the same ingredient, while sushi and sashimi sets let diners explore a broader selection. These dishes suit the restaurant's sharing style because they introduce clean, precise flavours before the richer cooked plates arrive.

The menu then moves through bolder combinations and charcoal cooking. Beef tataki provides a savoury counterpoint to the seafood, while crisp tuna crackers layer fish with wasabi plum and truffle oil for a mix of heat, fruit and aroma. Kushiyaki skewers cooked over coal bring smoke and caramelisation into the meal, giving guests a warm, robust contrast to the chilled raw dishes. Ordering across these sections creates a natural progression without requiring everyone at the table to choose the same thing, which is one of the strengths of Koji's small-plate approach.

A meal here works best when the table mixes textures and temperatures: sashimi beside a crisp snack, then tataki or coal-grilled skewers as the evening unfolds. That flexibility makes Koji suitable for a focused date night as well as a larger celebration, while private-event service gives groups a more organised option. The food remains detailed enough to reward close attention, but the shareable format keeps the atmosphere social. It is a restaurant for diners who want Japanese flavours presented with contemporary combinations, in a setting where the whole table can take part in the same meal.
