SushiGroove A Japanese masterpiece by Ismaya Group, they have become my personal favorite since the beginning. I consider them modern Japanese cuisine done creatively and beautifully. Young & fresh. This wall mural is so mesmerizing, I can’t seem to take my eyes off it.
Talking about Japanese cuisine, a lot will relate to sushi, and often for the “best sushi in town”, most Indonesians would mention “Sushi Tei” one way or the other. Well, that could be true, if you define “best” as the first successful restaurant catering sushi to Indonesian taste. In my search for a more authentic sushi experience in Jakarta, my sister invited me for a sushi omakase at this Japanese establishment in Duren Tiga by the name of Umaku Sushi.
Sake-Wakame Salad (Salmon & Seaweed) An innocent beginning to a truly marvelous experience!
Chirashi Sushi – IDR 122K Assorted sashimi served on top of a bowl of vinegar rice. Elegant and beautiful to the eyes, an important essence in Japanese cooking. Always my classic favorite when it comes to Japanese cuisine.
Spicy Tonkotsu Char-shu men – IDR 75K This is what I have been looking for. One spoonful of the thick broth sent me into a divine moment. Better than Hakata Ikkousha’s Silver Pork. This is it!
