January 11, 2023Yuki Japanese Restaurant is a very popular and classy Japanese Restaurant in Canggu, down near Batu Bolong Beach in Canggu. This is more like a fine dining Japanese Restaurant than a cheap eats place. An open aired restaurant with an ever changing menu, serving great Japanese food, sake and shochu. This places gets busy, so best to make a reservation. Prices are more like International prices than Bali prices. Yuki Japanese Restaurant in Canggu Bali Yuki is located on Jalan Pura Dalem which is the road that runs parallel to Batu Bolong Beach. I was staying at the Aston Canggu Beach Resort of Batu Bolong Beach Road, so was only a few minutes walk down to the restaurant. I did not have a reservation but dining alone they managed to squeeze me in at the end of the counter. The restaurant was packed, so if I wasn’t alone, I doubt I would have gotten a table. Inside Yuki Japanese Restaurant Canggu They had a specials menu and a full food menu which featured a lot of smaller dishes including a good selection of meat skewers like yakitori. On the specials menu they had 3 items – Unagi Eggplant Bowl (65,000Rp), Salmon Sando (95,000Rp) or the Popcorn Chicken (70,000Rp). I went for the Popcorn Chicken as I love fried chicken! This was a very tasty dish with a nice spicy dipping sauce. Popcorn Chicken at Yuki Japanese Restaurant Canggu I also went for a few of the meat skewers. I had the chicken yakitori (45,000Rp) and the Wagyu beef Kushiyaki skewers (95,000Rp). Both of these were delicious! The Wagyu beef skewers were so good, I ordered another serving. At almost A$9 a serving of the beef, this was expensive but the beef was so tender and tasty so worth it. Chicken Yakitori at Yuki Japanese Restaurant Canggu Wagyu Kushiyaki Skewers at Yuki Japanese Restaurant Canggu They also have imported sake on the menu. At the time I was dining they had ‘Home Made’ Pineapple Infused Sake at 180,000Rp for a carafe. When I saw ‘Home Made’ I thought this was made in Bali, but the waiter told me it was imported from Japan. I had never seen a Pineapple Infused Sake so gave it a go and it was very tasty and quite potent as a good sake should be. At A$18 for a carrafe, again pricey but a good drink to go with my skewers. Sake at Yuki Japanese Restaurant Canggu A very cool Japanese Restaurant in Canggu to try! I can highly rate their food, service and the sake was a winner!

August 8, 2022Soya Cafe furst opened in Sanur in 2015. Located right next to Starbucks Coffee on Jalan Danau Tamblingan, Soya is one of the best Japanese restaurants in Sanur, with a large range of traditional Japanese food and great decor. Soya Cafe Japanese Restaurant Sanur Bali Soya Cafe has air-conditioned dining inside with lovely Japanese art on the walls. Outside is the smoking section with the same comfortable tables and chairs. Inside Soya Cafe Japanese Restaurant Sanur I went in for lunch and there were so many things on the menu I wanted to try like the Konichiwa Bento box with Seafood tempura, chicken teriyaki, sashima, sweet omelette, rice, soup, pickles and ice cream for dessert. Also the curry udon looked good as well as the sushi, sashimi combo platter. I only wanted a light meal so I just ordered a few of the small entrees including the agedashi tofu, some chicken yakitori skewers and the very interesting Age Ravioli. Chicken Yakitori at Soya Cafe Sanur It didn’t take long for the food to arrive to my table, along with a nice pot of Japanese Green Tea. Both the agedashi tofu and chicken yakitori skewers were exactly what I expect from a Japanese restaurant. Very tasty dishes. Agedashi tofu at Soya Cafe Sanur The Age Ravioli which is deep fried cheese and crab ravioli with tobico and spicy mayo was definitely interesting. More like a deep fried wonton than a ravioli pasta, the crab was nice though it was a bit too crispy and not alot of flavour. Age Ravioli at Soya Cafe Restaurant Sanur Soya Cafe Japanese restaurant has free WiFi internet access. Just ask for the userid and password. Overall I enjoyed my meal at Soya Cafe. I’ll definitely be back to try that bowl of curry udon.

This is a great Japanese Restaurant with reasonable prices Dahana Japanese Restaurant in Seminyak I first visited here about 8 years ago and have very fond memories of the meal (too many beers and sake clouded the end).

While they specialise in Ramen Noodle Soup, they do serve a whole range of delicious Japanese Food like sushi, sashimi, yakitori, tempura, rice and noodle dishes. Ramen Shichifukujin in Canggu Bali Delicious Ramen Noodle Soup at Ramen Shichifukujin in Canggu Bali I went in to try their Ramen and was so impressed. This is the good stuff. I spoke with the Head Chef who is from Japan and he told me the Ramen broth takes 8 hours to cook. The taste proves this with such a thick broth which is packed full of flavour. I had the traditional Tonkotsu soup which is a pork broth. Inside the soup were a few slices of thick roast pork slices which had also been slow cooked, so the pork just melted in my mouth. This big bowl of yummy cost just 77,000Rp (around A$7), a very reasonable price for such a delicious meal.

June 5, 2022Tokyo Sushi is a great Japanese restaurant located in the southern section of Sanur Beach Bali, right at the end of Jalan Danau Tablingan, right at the round about to turns to Jalan Danau Poso. While they specialise in fresh sushi, their menu has a great selection of Japanese cuisine like Tempura, Japanese curry, Yakitori and ramen noodle soups. Delicious Sushi in Sanur Bali I went in for lunch to try their sushi. I first asked the waitress if their sushi was fresh and she assured me that the restaurant buys fish fresh every day at the markets in the morning. I eat alot of sushi, and when I tried their sushi I could tell this was very fresh fish, a very tasty meal. Inside Tokyo Sushi in Sanur They do have sushi platters available but I just ordered a few of my favourite types of fish. I ordered 2 salmon sushi (35K Rp) and 2 pieces of different type of tuna cuts, 2 of the Maguro tuna sushi (30K Rp) and 2 of the Toro tuna sushi (35K Rp). Fresh Sushi at Tokyo Sushi Japanese Restaurant in Sanur All 3 were very fresh and tasty. An excellent meal of sushi. I must admit I did not tell much different between the maguro and the toro sushi. Toro is the prize cut of Tuna belly and is usually more fatty than the Maguro but there was not much price difference and I still enjoyed each of these.

January 9, 2020It had been 4 years since last time I visited Sanur. Before this visit I searched for restaurants to find any new restaurants that had opened since my last visit. I found Kuu Japanese had opened with the new Maya 5* Resort. As I love Japanese food, I locked it in for a visit. Kuu Japanese in Sanur Bali Their website states that they ‘are fast becoming the best Japanese restaurant in Bali’. Now any restaurant that claims to be the best or fast becoming the best, then I have to visit to see if it is true. There are plenty of great Japanese restaurants in Bali so they would have to be doing something special to become the best! I went in for dinner on my first night in Sanur. Overall it was very good though I’d say they need to do a lot more before they become the best. They have lovely decor inside the air-conditioned restaurant and they also have an outside, uncover dining area right next to Jalan Danau Tamblingan. Inside Kuu Japanese Restaurant Sanur Service was great. As I sat down they brought out a cold towel to wash my hands which is so typical for a Japanese restaurant. Now they did not offer me any water, not when I arrived or any time during my meal. Which was OK as I enjoyed some nice cold Bintang beers and then some sake during my meal. But a top quality restaurant would offer you water. In all Japanese restaurant in Japan they would bring you a glass of water along with the towel. They did however bring out a cup of Japanese tea and topped that up during my meal. Menu with pictures at Kuu Japanese Restaurant The menu has a great range of different Japanese foods and has pictures of the dishes to make it easy to select. Their website has a full list of their menu but not with the pictures. I decided to graze through the menu, ordering 1 small dish at a time. I started with some sushi with 2 pieces of tuna sushi (30,000Rp, around A$3) and 2 pieces of salmon sushi (45K around A$4.5). This was very nice sushi. Very well presented and quite tasty. Sushi at Kuu Japanese Restaurant Sanur Next I ordered the Negima Yakitori (15K Rp, around A$1.50) which is grilled chicken with leak skewers. This was a very tasty yakitori dish. I could have easily eaten a few more of these but wanted to try more dishes on the menu. Chicken skewers at Kuu Japanese Restaurant Next I ordered the Chicken Katsu (35K Rp, around A$3.50). I would normally order a pork katsu but they did not have pork on the menu. I would say that they get lots of local Indonesian tourists coming from Java who are Muslim, so out of respect they do not offer pork on their menu. The chicken katsu was lightly batter and another tasty dish. Chicken Katsu at Kuu Japanese Restaurant Sanur I then ordered the Tori teriyaki (yes overdose on the chicken!) which was grilled chicken with the sweet teriyaki sauce. Another tasty dish. Chicken teriyaki at Kuu Japanese Restaurant Sanur All up all the food was well presented and all tasting very nice. I do visit Tokyo a few times a year so am used to top quality Japanese food and the food at Kuu comes close to the food in Tokyo but not spot on! When I went to order some sake, they have 9 different sake available on the menu, but they told me only 1 of these was available when I visited. Not so good having a huge selection on the menu, only to find out that only 1 is available. The sake was particularly expensive, i guess due to the import tax into Indonesia, which taxes incoming alcohol at I think 100%. A 300ml flask of sake starts at 180,000 Rp which is around A$18. The most expensive sake is 290,000 for the 300ml flask, which is around A$29. All up it was a pleasant dining experience and the food prices are also quite reasonable considering this restaurant is part of a 5 star resort. The beers and sake ultimately made it an expensive meal, much more expensive than many other restaurants in Sanur. Inside Kuu Japanese Restaurant Sanur Bali If you love Japanese food then I would recommend a visit to Kuu Japanese or to Soya Japanese Restaurant which I think is the best Japanese in Sanur, just slightly better than Kuu! Soya is slightly more expensive than Kuu but I find it a much better dining experience. At lunch times they have Bento boxes on their menu. I really do enjoy a Bento box so next time I am in Sanur I will visit Kuu again at lunch time to try their chicken teriyaki bento box (110K Rp which is around A$11).

December 23, 2015Fukutaro Japanese Restaurant has been serving up traditional Japanese food in Bali for more than 20 years. Fukutaro have restaurants at Kuta, Legian and a new restaurant in Lippo Mall Kuta. I went in for lunch at the Kuta restaurant which is just up from Kuta Square, a few doors down from Bubba Gump Shrimp Restaurant. Fukutaro Japanese Restaurant Kuta Bali Out the front of their restaurant they have pictures of alot of the food they have on their menu. I saw the set menus which includes a miso soup, bowl of rice, side dishes of pickles, vegetables and you have a choice of sushi, sashimi, chicken teriyaki, tempura prawns, udon noodles or soba noodes. I went for the Chicken Teriyaki set meal. Chicken Teriyaki set meal at Fukutaro Japanese Restaurant Kuta It didn’t take long for the meal to come out. The presentation was exactly what I expect from a Japanese restaurant, with lots of little dishes. The chicken teriyaki was quite nice, nothing special but this entire meal only cost 85,000Rp so good price for lots of dishes. Chicken Teriyaki at Fukutaro Japanese Restaurant Kuta Fukutaro at Kuta is not one of the best Japanese restaurants in Kuta but if you are looking for some cheap Japanese food then this is well worth a visit. There is an air-conditioned dining area as well as non air-conditioned area which has traditional Japanese tables.

December 28, 2014Sama Sama Yakiniku Japanese Restaurant, located at Jl. By Pass Ngurah Rai 128 Mumbul, Nusa Dua is a traditional Japanese Yakiniku (grilled meat) restaurant. Each table in the restaurant has a gas grill built into the table for grilling a range of meat including beef, chicken and seafood. Sama Sama Yakiniku Japanese Restaurant Nusa Dua Bali I went in for dinner at Sama Sama Yakiniku restaurant with a friend and had a delightful meal. We ordered 3 different plates of meat including a plate of Wagyu Bara beef (150,000Rp), special premium boneless rib (150,000Rp) and a plate of Torimono (Chicken meat 35,000Rp). Each of the plates of meat is marinated in a range of sauces. The meat arrives and you wack the meat on the grill, cook it all up and get stuck into the eating. Premium boneless rib beef Wagyu beef at Sama Sama Yakiniku Restaurant Torimono chicken meat at Sama Sama Yakiniku Restaurant Nusa Dua We polished off our 3 plates of meat with rice. I thought we would have needed to order more though this was enough for 2 people. I drank a few bintang beers and all up the meal came to just over 400,000Rp which is around A$40. This same meal would have cost me over $100 if I was back in Sydney. Gas grill at Sama Sama Yakiniku Japanese Restaurant The service at the restaurant is typical Indonesian service, friendly but inefficient. The staff stand around and stair into space or stand in a corner chatting with their colleague. Once you can get their attention they are friendly and slow go fill your order. Sama Sama Yakiniku Japanese Restaurant is located only 10 minutes by taxi from the resorts in Nusa Dua or around 20 minutes from Kuta beach. The restaurant does offer free pick up and drop off service. Just give the restaurant a call to make a reservation and arrange the pick up.
