About Soya Japanese Restaurant

Soya delivers serious Japanese cooking on Danau Tamblingan without the inflated resort markups. The kitchen sets an exacting pace—bringing sample bites of otoro sashimi or gyu tongue to the table for approval before slicing the rest. Guests grill thin cuts of beef tongue over personal tabletop mini-BBQs, while others drop in to clear heavy holiday meals with warm miso soup, clam broth, and sashimi salads cut from fresh tuna and marlin. Plates arrive generous, drinks are prompt, and staff routinely send out house gifts like crispy samosas or grilled salmon head.

  • Pre-Taste Table Service: Staff serve sample bites of cuts like otoro sashimi and gyu tongue for approval before sending out full dishes.
  • Tabletop Mini-Grills: Guests grill thin cuts of beef tongue directly at their own table on personal tabletop mini-BBQs.
  • Complimentary Kitchen Bites: Orders regularly arrive with unprompted house extras, from crisp samosas to rich grilled salmon heads.

  • Pre-Taste Sampling for Premium Cuts

    Guests can sample premium cuts like otoro sashimi and gyu tongue to verify taste and quality before the kitchen prepares full orders.

    When I ordered the otoro sashimi, they brought me small sample sizes to test. They would serve the sashimi only after I am satisfied with the sample quality.
