Kahyangan Japanese Restaurant
Jakarta
At a glance
Kahyangan Japanese Restaurant occupies the 28th to 30th floors of Wisma Nusantara on Jalan M.H. Thamrin, giving the dining room a high-rise setting with broad views across Jakarta. The restaurant focuses on two Japanese dining formats: shabu-shabu and teppanyaki. Both styles place the cooking experience at the centre of the meal, making the venue suited to diners who enjoy food prepared as part of the occasion rather than served only from a conventional kitchen.
Shabu-shabu is built around thinly sliced premium meats and fresh fish cooked at the table, while teppanyaki brings ingredients together on a hot iron cooking surface. The selection includes imported Wagyu, US rib eye, Omi Hime beef and fresh fish. A house-made ponzu provides a tangy accompaniment for shabu-shabu and adds a distinct element to the restaurant’s Japanese menu.
The atmosphere combines formal dining with a sense of occasion created by the elevated location and open city outlook. Private dining rooms provide a more contained setting for business discussions, family gatherings and meals with friends. These rooms also make the restaurant practical for groups seeking a dedicated space rather than a standard table in the main dining area.
Kahyangan suits several types of occasions. Business diners can use the private rooms and central Menteng location for hosted meals, while families and groups of friends can gather around the communal format of shabu-shabu or watch the preparation involved in teppanyaki. The setting is more appropriate for a planned lunch or dinner than for a brief, casual stop.
The restaurant serves lunch from noon until 3pm and dinner from 6pm until 10pm, with service available daily. A reservation is a sensible choice for private-room requests, group meals or occasions that require a particular dining time. The restaurant is located in Menteng, Central Jakarta, within the city’s established Thamrin corridor.
