Being one of the most popular dining outlets in Padma Resort Legian, renowned for its traditional Japanese cuisine and Teppanyaki for years, Tenkai Japanese Nikkei Restaurant has elevated its dining experience. Together with the newly appointed Executive Sous Chef Sandro Medrano, Tenkai is proud to introduce delicious and unique Japanese Nikkei cuisine to Bali.
Nikkei is the name traditionally given to Japanese people living in Peru, and like migrant workers anywhere, they had to adapt to a whole new variety of dishes and ingredients. The ever-evolving result sees clean Japanese preparation and presentation paired with Peruvian flavors rich in sour and spicy, thus creating new but recognizable dishes based on the ingredients at hand, such as seafood, corn, cassava, and quinoa.
With experiences around the globe, Chef Sandro, born and raised in Lima, the sprawling capital of Peru, started cooking by helping his mother prepare traditional Peruvian dishes in the kitchen at home. His passion and enthusiasm for Japanese food extend beyond Nikkei cuisine; he is also skilled in Japanese fine dining and omakase.
At Tenkai, you will discover truly tasteful and unique Nikkei cuisine, such as Ceviches, Robata Anticuchos, Nigiri Nikkei, Sake Misoyu, Tiraditos, and many more. All the dishes are made using locally sourced ingredients from Bali, accompanied by beverage selections, such as sake and shochu, signature cocktails, and a premium wine with the Coravin system to preserve wine quality. On top of the Japanese Nikkei menu, Tenkai still serves its traditional Japanese selections and the popular action-packed Teppanyaki in the restaurant and by the pool.
