Where do Jakarta's Japanese expats eat? I found the answer for you.

An Immersive Kyoto Nongkrong Experience 🏮

As for the food, the menu is as thick as a book, so those with decision paralysis will probably die on the spot. 😂

Must-Try Recommendations:

• Beef Stone Pot Rice (Ishiyaki Meshi)[3]: It comes out sizzling, the rice is fluffy, and the beef is so tender it melts in your mouth. So fragrant!
• Japanese Fried Chicken (Tori Karaage)[4]: Anjay! The skin of this fried chicken is crispy, and the juices are perfectly locked inside. The seasoning is Mantap! Definitely one of the best dishes of the night.
• Sashimi[5]: The freshness is undeniable. I heard that if the quality of the fish isn't good on a particular day, they'd rather not sell it. For that alone, respect.
• Nizaemon Bento[6]: If it's your first time and you don't know what to order, just go for this signature bento. You get to try several side dishes at once, and you can't go wrong.

Let's get real... 👀

✍️ Take Notes! The Editor's Guide to Avoiding Pitfalls

• 1. You must make a reservation! Especially for weekday lunches and on weekends, or you'll most likely make a trip for nothing.[9]
• 2. Get a membership card! Spend 50k to get a card for a 10% discount on everything (including drinks). If you drink a lot, you'll make your money back in no time![10]
• 3. If you want salmon/tuna, get there early. These two are popular items and might be sold out if you go late.[11]
• 4. Don't sit at the counter if you're sensitive to the smell of cooking fumes. The counter is near the grill area, so it gets quite smoky. For friends who mind this, remember to tell the staff in advance.[12]
