Book NowAbout 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.

Michele Witchell 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.
