Signature restaurant opens in Bali

The Apurva Kempinski Bali which opened earlier this year in Nusa Dua has now opened its signature Japanese restaurant, Izakaya by OKU. The 60-seat restaurant is an outpost of the award-winning OKU restaurant at Hotel Indonesia Kempinski Jakarta. Chef Deni Koswara has created an extensive menu, inspired by traditional Japanese cooking methods and ingredients. Signature dishes will include karasumi pasta, OKU kaarage, OKU aburi salmon roll, truffle gyu don, saikyo cod, and mizu as well as ‘okukase’ – a five-course and seven-course chef’s degustation menu paired with sakes and signature cocktails.
