OKU's Japanese Cuisine 

           Recently I got to try one of the most hype Japanese restaurants in Jakarta, Indonesia called Oku Japanese Restaurant. If you are interested in this place, check out their website:  https://www.kempinski.com/en/jakarta/hotel-indonesia/dining/restaurants/oku-japanese-restaurant/ . The main chef, Kazumasa Yazawa, will check if the food meets the quality control. 

The List:  

Chicken Karaage  This is the best meal out of all, their chicken karaage. It is different than any other chicken Karaage. I would recommend this as a starter. The inside of the chicken Karaage has been infused with ponzu sauces and mushroom. Try this out so that you don't miss out the amazing dish from Oku. In Omakase, you will be give two small meal but as from appetizer, you will be given six pieces

Sushi: Beef Belly+ Uni+ Caviar

Regarding taste, the most outstanding taste would be Salmon Belly compared to Uni and the caviar. Followed by Uni and Caviar. If you order as an appetizer, I would say this is pretty fulfilling, but if you order it in omakase, it comes as one sushi. The small size would be good enough if you just a hint of it. 

Ajitama

Ajitama. This would be Organic Egg Smoked Rice Straw, Organic Egg, and Shigureni Beef. The presentation is very attractive to this meal. In our understanding.  Having the lids to cover the egg for the egg can be infused with the dried rice straw sensation, and if you are crazy about eggs, you should give it a shot because it is very runny. The egg is nicer than the one in Okonomiyaki.

Chu Toro Sushi  Chu Toro sushi , over all its very similar like other chu toro in other restaurants .

Truffle Gyu Don Black Truffle Sauce, Onsen Egg and US Beef

This is The best meal among other meal as you can taste the truffle infused with the meat. Also,the runny egg makes it more tasty for the meat as well as the rice

Runn Egg on this truffle Gyu Don.  I would say this is the second high light of the meal. I know this meal is currently a trend, but I won't lie because you can taste truffle down to your throat. They are using both truffle and  shaved truffles. Also,   The runny egg runs perfectly with the tenderness of the meat. Regarding proportion, this would be good for one person. Yeah truffle and runny eggs for the winner.

                                   

Donpeyaki,

Donpeyaki, this is similar like okonomayaki. The presentation of the food but the overall taste is okay. If you like eggs, give it a try because I find the eggs is fluffy. 

Chawan Musi Part 1

Chawan Musi Part 2

If you like something soupy, this Chawan musi will be a perfect choice. I think this is a combination of Chawan um with miso soup. They are very soft and completed with minced chicken as well as seaweed.
                                
Compared to the popsicle, I prefer this dessert.  I'm a sweet tooth. In terms of size, it's not too big which is good if you're very full from the full course set meal. In terms of the sweetness, i's not to sweet. May I present to you, Yuki. It is a Yuzu Chocolate Mousse , Lemon Cloud , Dulcey Sponge Cake with Crunchy Chocolate Praline.


Hope you enjoy my post!
