A long-time firm favourite on the island, TENKAI Japanese Restaurant underwent an extensive refurbishment this year of both its decor and its menus, re-opening in August. The modern Japanese ambience and exciting foods on offer have re-established its place in the eyes of Bali’s gourmands. Executive Japanese Chef Masahiko Morikawa helms the kitchen, which turns out both traditional and modern Japanese delights. With a full à la carte menu that includes baked oyster, super California eel roll, refreshing Japanese salads, noodles, sashimi and an extensive choice for teppanyaki, TENKAI also presents a significant poolside buffet every Saturday. Ideal for couples, friends and families – the kids love watching the teppanyaki chefs – the excellent food and welcoming, airy venue make a visit to TENKAI a popular choice.
