On Saturday, 8 November 2025, What's New Bali joined the island's media community for an exclusive Kaiseki Bento Lunch experience at Takumi Bali. This Petitenget restaurant has been making waves for its fine dining approach to Japanese cuisine, led by Chef Daijiro Horikoshi. Our visit was a glimpse into Japanese culinary artistry shaped by precision, balance, and respect for tradition.
The interior at Takumi is elevated Japanese at its best, combining lavish wood and stone elements with clean, modern lines. The first floor houses the main dining area, fully air-conditioned and overlooking a tranquil koi pond crossed by a small bridge that sets a peaceful tone. Upstairs, the second floor bar offers a semi-AC space fitted with leather sofas and an intricate wooden shelf, creating a stylish yet relaxed lounge for pre-dinner drinks or quiet conversation. Every inch of the design speaks of craftsmanship and calm sophistication.
The tasting itself showcased Takumi’s Kaiseki Bento, a five-dish set prepared with premium ingredients flown in from Japan. Our bento featured wagyu yakiniku, maki roll, seasonal carpaccio, tofu and seaweed salad, and miso soup—each dish a careful balance of texture, temperature, and taste. We were also treated to the Salmon Oyako Donburi and the Tamago Sando, both refined yet comforting, before finishing with Osaka Purin and Daifuku for dessert. Drinks were complimentary to order, rounding out the experience with a personal touch.
Takumi blends serene atmosphere, elevated design, and omakase-level precision into one unforgettable fine dining experience. With limited seats and meticulous attention to detail, it’s the kind of place that deserves a spot on every Bali food lover’s list. Reservations are essential to secure your place at this remarkable Petitenget gem.
