Intimate Japanese izakaya dining space located in Berawa
Tama Izakaya is a small izakaya in Berawa that builds Japanese dishes on carefully chosen Indonesian ingredients.
The kitchen uses a traditional charcoal grill, and the house tare sauce is made with Balinese arak. The menu runs from kushiyaki and kushiage to main courses such as Yakitori Donburi and Tori Negi Nanban Soba. It is the work of chef Aditya Tama, modelled on small Japanese taverns, and doubles as a listening bar playing records from the owner's collection.
