Midori, Japanese restaurant in Menteng, Indonesia.
Midori is a Japanese restaurant in Menteng, a central neighborhood of Jakarta, set across two floors of a standalone building. The kitchen focuses on fresh fish and seasonal ingredients sourced from local markets, so the menu changes regularly depending on what is available.
The restaurant opened in the early 2000s as one of the first Japanese dining spots in the Menteng area. At that time, the neighborhood had very few foreign restaurants, making its arrival a noticeable change for local diners.
The restaurant follows Japanese hospitality customs, offering guests warm towels and complimentary green tea upon arrival as part of the dining experience. These small gestures reflect the traditional values that shape how people are welcomed and treated throughout their meal.
Reservations can be made by phone or through online platforms, and parking is available on site for guests. Since the menu changes based on availability, it is worth asking about current dishes when booking.
Each month, the kitchen features regional specialties from a different Japanese prefecture, giving diners a chance to try dishes rarely found in Jakarta. Regular visitors can work through a wide range of Japanese regional cooking styles simply by returning over time.
