Jakarta has a thriving culinary scene, and omakase—meaning "trust the chef"—restaurants are increasingly popular for their personalized and high-quality sushi experiences. To experience authentic Japanese dining, look no further than omakase, a coveted tradition that translates to “I will leave it up to you,” trusting the chef to craft your meal.
With omakase—essentially a Japanese degustation menu—you can expect the highest quality dishes featuring an exquisite array of sashimi, sushi, appetizers, and desserts, along with exotic Japanese specialties and delicacies such as monkfish, jellyfish, sea cucumbers, and sea urchins. Many restaurants in Jakarta offer their unique interpretations of this authentic style, providing diners with memorable surprises and culinary delights with every experience.
