Seminyak, Bali, is known for its vibrant food scene, and now it has a fresh infusion of Japanese cuisine thanks to SugarSand’s new Japanese specialty chef.
SugarSand is located at Hotel Indigo Bali Seminyak Beach, which boasts eight unique dining options on-site, from casual cafes to fine dining. Each location is inspired by Balinese heritage and reflects local art and culture in its design.
At Makase, visitors can enjoy classic Indonesian dishes and street food favorites with traditional Indonesian techniques. For a more elevated take on Balinese cuisine, Salon Bali offers an intimate and elegant atmosphere. Coffee lovers have their pick of the Kiosk, a new beachfront deli serving coffee, burgers, and sandwiches, or the cozy Pottery Café with locally blended coffee and tea. For cocktails, Tree Bar sources organic, locally-sourced ingredients for a healthy twist, and Cave is a poolside oasis surrounded by lush greenery.
For ultimate comfort and convenience, Home Delivery offers 24-hour straight-to-your-room dining with traditional Balinese-style rantang lunch boxes. And then there’s SugarSand, the resort’s fine dining with a view venue that now offers authentic Japanese delicacies and fresh seafood. Chef Syamsul Rizal brings his Japanese culinary expertise to SugarSand and has revamped the lunch and dinner menus, introducing a lively Izakaya concept with Japanese food stalls in the evenings.
Chef Rizal’s focus is always on the taste of each dish, and he takes pride in keeping things simple and beautiful in both technique and presentation, just like in Japan. Some of his specialties include fried ramen served with seafood or beef in teriyaki sauce, popcorn shrimp, beef and black cod gyoza, and gindara miso. Don’t miss his flavorful Japanese-style fried rice with garlic and striploin, and wash it all down with Japanese-inspired cocktails or sake.
Hotel Indigo Bali Seminyak Beach is part of a hotel chain, but each location is unique and individually owned, with Balinese-inspired design and a narrative-driven concept that reflects local art and culture. From casual cafes to fine dining, visitors can explore a range of cuisines and dining experiences, all within the resort’s grounds. Don’t miss out on SugarSand’s new Japanese specialty chef and his mouthwatering creations during your next visit to Seminyak.
