Motto Motto offers modern and traditional Japanese-inspired dishes in a casual setting. Just a few weeks ago, it introduced a new meal kit and ready-made brand, Kyoto at Home, in response to the coronavirus crisis.

Motto Motto has secured wholesale customers for Kyoto at Home and is seeking expressions of interest from other interested retailers and distributors around Australia.

There are 400 people working across the support office, store operations, central production kitchen and the Kyoto at Home brand.
