Indonesian gourmands today are spoiled for choice across an expansive Japanese dining scene, yet finding true culinary brilliance remains a rare delight. Yugen Shabu & Sukiyaki effortlessly stands above the crowd from its prestigious aerie on the 46th floor of The Plaza Office Tower. Floor-to-ceiling glass reveals sweeping views across Jakarta, while the dining room remains focused entirely on gastronomic distinction.
The curated menu opens with innovative appetisers that honour premium ingredients. Chilled Uni Somen on Ice introduces delicate ocean sweetness, setting the stage for the deeply aromatic Slow-Cooked Truffle. Textural contrast arrives with the golden Wagyu Corn Croquette, paired with the crisp, savoury Tebasaki Truffle. For an extraordinary showcase of technique, the Kagoshima Gyu Shiogama arrives encased in a baked salt crust that locks in deep, succulent juices.
The true centrepiece is the restaurant’s exceptional shabu-shabu set. Slices of prized Japanese beef gently simmer in house broths, melting effortlessly on the palate with every dip. Measured service complements each course, ensuring that guests enjoy a peerless dining affair high above the luminous city below.
