Aman Embarks on a New Culinary Chapter with the Launch of Nama at Amanpuri
Butakakuni

Aman has announced the launch of Nama, a new culinary concept celebrating the tradition of Japanese cuisine, known as washoku, which translates to harmony in food. Twelve months in the making, Nama represents the beginning of a new culinary chapter for Aman as it advances further into the world of gastronomy. Over the coming year, Nama will launch at selected Aman destinations, and though the culinary approach remains consistent, the menus at each resort will be shaped according to the produce and fare of each locale.

Nama, the reverse spelling of Aman and the Japanese word for ‘raw’, remains true to the Japanese influences of the brand’s DNA and imbues its values, making it a natural progression for the brand. These values, centred on peace, discretion, authenticity, and intuitive service, place emphasis on the guest experience and naturally translate into the restaurant environment.

Chef kepi Matoba & Team

Nama is guided by the vision of master chef Keiji Matoba, who with his 21 year career as a professional chef, brings a global perspective, with experience not only in his native Japan, but also in renowned contemporary restaurants around the world. Roland Fasel, Chief Operating Officer of Aman said “Nama is a natural progression for Aman and strengthens the very heart of what we stand for, which is to curate environments and experiences based on family values that are conducive to human exchange and social conviviality.” He adds, “Namarepresents the coming together of our talented Aman team to further enhance our guest experience. I very much look forward to setting the framework as we introduce Nama across our collection.”

Gindara Saikyo

In a nod to Aman’s two properties in Japan, Aman Tokyo and Amanemu, Nama celebrates washoku with authentic, uncomplicated and elegant dishes that champion locally-sourced produce, allowing the intricate flavours of each ingredient to take centre stage.

Marguro Tartare

The minimalistic and elegant Japanese aesthetic which inspires many aspects of Aman from the design to the architecture and service, is translated to the tables at Nama, influencing not only the menu itself but the presentation of its dishes, bespoke earthenware and staff uniforms, which are structured with simple lines in calming neutral earth tones and natural linens.

Miyazaki Gyu

Paying homage to one of the oldest ceramic traditions in the world and to showcase the cuisine, bespoke earthenware has been commissioned for Nama including bizen ware known for its raw and unglazed aesthetic, shigaraki ware, which uses 17th century glazing and colouring techniques to produce a distinctive red colour, and oribe ware, invented in Japan in the 16th century, with its vivid patterns and green glazes. These hand-crafted pieces not only embody the Japanese principle of wabi-sabi, which centres on the acceptance and beauty found in imperfection, but also complement Nama’s fresh and flavoursome dishes.

Salmon Avocado Salad
Sashimi Moriawase

It seemed befitting to inaugurate Nama at Amanpuri, Aman’s first resort, at a time when both the resort and the brand approach their 30thanniversary. Nestled directly on Amanpuri’s scallop-shaped beach, fragranced with the aroma of jasmine blossoms, Nama’s relaxed and informal beach setting inspires its menu of exquisitely crafted sushi and sashimi, appealing to guests and non-residents. The finest quality fish is carefully transported to Phuket from the Japan’s finest markets including Tsukiji in Tokyo, and combined with the daily catches from local waters to create fresh, raw dishes, sharing space on the menu with classic Japanese delicacies. A comprehensive menu of sushi, nigiri sushi and sashimi is available alongside signature dishes such as Kobe Gyu, a Japanese Kobe Wagyu steak grilled directly on the table over charcoal and served with Moshio mineral salt, a seaweed infused salt and the earliest known sea salt – produced by the ancient Japanese nearly 2,500 years ago.

NAMA
NAMA

Future Nama destinations will initially include Amanpulo in the Philippines, where produce is sourced from the markets of Japan, thereby allowing fresh sashimi, sushi and chargrilled Wagyu beef to star as Nama highlights. At Amanjena in Morocco, where Nama will launch later this year, the restaurant’s signature dishes will include wild salmon and chicken, prepared on an authentic robata grill which is heated usingbincho-tan, a traditional charcoal of Japan dating back to the Edo period

This new culinary chapter follows on from the recent launch of Aman Wellness, which saw the dual introduction of Group Wellness Retreats and Individual Immersions across the collection in 2016. Together, these concepts further enhance the guest experience at Aman’s collection of intimate hideaways which offer a peaceful gateway to a holistic lifestyle transforming the mind, body and spirit.

Celebrity Chef Joins in Relaunch of Aryaduta Hotel Group

One of Indonesia’s most recognized names in homegrown lodging and hospitality, the Aryaduta Hotel Group, is currently undergoing a robust brand transformation that includes aligning with celebrated Indonesian artists and celebrities as its brand consultants.  

As part of its new corporate rebranding mission, the group will open smartly designed properties with integrated leisure facilities and breakthrough food concepts, commence extensive renovations amongst its current properties all while adding a second tier hotel brand.  

“Back in the early 90s Aryaduta was a name associated with innovative dining concepts and it’s now time to reestablish that recognition and we found an ideal collaborator with local chef, Rinrin Marinka,” said Rob Cunningham, Group Director of Food & Beverage at Aryaduta Hotels Indonesia.  

Known amongst Indonesians as “Marinka,” the talented chef, restaurateur, Master Chef judge and host of Asian Food Channel’s Wonderful Indonesia Flavors, will design a signature menu of contemporary Indonesian dishes unveiled quarterly at Aryaduta Hotels throughout Indonesia. Her first menu launch event will be held Feb. 23-24 at Aryaduta Jakarta.  

Born in Jakarta, Rinrin got her start in the culinary world at a young age, relocating to Australia to complete a French Cuisine & Patisserie degree from the Sydney campus of Le Cordon Bleu. Once she returned to Indonesia, Rinrin soon realized the Indonesia culinary world was a great story waiting to be told, and presented, to wider audiences.  

“I push myself to cook uncompromising and authentic Indonesian dishes yet with a degree of finesse and an artistic French style of plating,” says Marinka. “There can be an engaging masquerade to good cooking and that’s where the fun comes in.”  

Rob Cunningham says the tie up with Marinka is one that neatly matches Aryaduta’s vision as a dedicated patron to classic-modern Indonesian cuisine. “We see Indonesian gastronomy protected but also in transition, much like the position Thai food was at a few decades ago and it’s our desire to support the practice or art of choosing, cooking, and eating great Indonesian food.”  

About Aryaduta Hotels

Since 1976, Aryaduta Hotels, the Indonesian-based hospitality arm of Lippo Group, has been a name synonymous with classic Indonesian hospitality, providing authentic experiences and excellent service standards at its nine distinct hotels in eight cities throughout the Indonesian archipelago.  

The recognized hotel group is today managed by a global team of hospitality professionals committed to revitalizing the Aryaduta brand and taking its Indonesian blend of hospitality beyond its borders for a planned regional expansion.  

In 2017, the group will furthermore launch its second hotel brand, Dali by Aryaduta, as well as contemporary dining concepts with brand traits developed in conjunction with celebrated Indonesian artists and designers.

Hujan Locale, The Hippest Restaurant in Ubud, Bali

Hujan Locale is located on Jalan Sri Widari, footsteps from the bustling Ubud Central Market. Since opening in 2014, Hujan Locale has gained a reputation for serving high quality traditional Indonesian food, and this will never change. What has changed is the style of the dining areas, now providing fresh new options for our regular guests, local residents and the increasingly sophisticated visitor drawn to Ubud.

Hujan Locale has transformed into a venue guaranteed to delight those looking for the next level in Modern Indonesian Cuisine and all day dining elegance.  

At street level we have been inspired by Old Jakarta and have introduced an elegant yet relaxed all day dining area. Furnishings and decor evocative of the “Exotic East Indies” enhance the ambience while the bar area provides elevated seating and a beautiful long bar of antique polished wood.   

Featuring Hujan Locale’s signature cocktails, twists on the classics and indulgently lavish creations, the Hujan Locale long board gourmet pizzas with locally sourced and unusual ingredients as well as an Indonesian Tapas style menu Hujan’s ground floor area will bring to life a past tradition of Batavian Cafe Culture, a hark back to the elegance of the Java Jazz era where open to the street daytime bars served fashionable cocktails to a sophisticated and fun loving clientele who sipped, snacked and smoked in relaxed fashion at anytime of the day.  

During the daylight hours Hujan Locale’s downstairs will exude the atmosphere of the Parisian Cafe Bar with family seating and bar service, then, as the sun sets to the sounds of chilled modern Indonesian jazz fusion, the ambience envelops the adult world of cocktail hour, supper rendezvous and late night bar style dining.  

Upstairs Hujan Locale’s dining area has become a 30 seater booking only dinner venue on weekdays open from 6pm to 11pm and on weekends there will be an additional brunch service from 12 noon to 3pm.  

The menu will continue to celebrate the cuisine of Indonesia and honour the farm to table practices Hujan Locale is known for: The use of sustainably grown produce, the home smoked and cured meats, the locally sourced organic vegetables and the creation of contemporary twists on traditional Indonesian cuisine that has brought regional foods into the international spotlight. Hujan Locale’s new menu will reflect the elevation of Modern Indonesian Cuisine into a world class dining choice.  

The inspiration is as always, Indonesia, this time Indonesia of the 1930’s when the metropolis of Jakarta, known as Batavia, was a multicultural melting pot of cool jazz scenes, beautiful people and elegant entertainments that bonded over the opulent life style of the “Exotic East Indies”.    

The Sarong Group brings together the passion and enthusiasm for the cuisine culture of Asia. Each Sarong Group location has a signature design that creates the tone and ambience of exquisite dining interiors that compliments the thematic nuances of the menu. Mamasan echoes the grand dining rooms of a 1930’s Shanghai, while in Ubud Hujan Locale’s long bar and muted tones flavour the interiors with the relaxed confidence of Jazz era Jakarta.  

In Sarong the ultimate compliment is paid to the cuisine with luxurious opulence in both furnishings and service and at Tiger Palm, the new baby of the group, a vibrant modern design gives the all day dining concept panache and style. Creative twists on classic Asian cuisines from cultures as diverse as Siam and Batak, inclusive of the colonial influences in Goa and Galle to the indigenous and closely guarded recipes of the Rajasthan and Sasak peoples the Sarong Group continually expand on their showcasing of authentic and often hard to find dishes from the South East Asian region.   

Combined with comprehensive wine lists, fresh juices from Asia’s natural abundance and the renown expertise and imagination of the cocktail mixologists the Sarong Group presents to guests an expertly curated culinary journey that expresses their dedication to sharing their love of Asian cuisine in style.

Fire Pot, Keju Meleleh di atas Bara Api

Banyak resto shabu-shabu di Jakarta, tapi yang satu ini patut dicoba, namanya Fire Pot. Kebetulan berlokasi di mal yang paling baru di Jakarta Utara, tepatnya PIK Avenue. Rupanya, restoran ala Jepang (atau bisa juga Korea) ini di bawah manajemen restoran yang sudah terkenal, May Star. Jadi, sudah cukup teruji, baik dari segi kualitas maupun pelayanannya.

Restoran, yang bukanya bersamaan dengan hadirnya mal tersebut bisa menampung banyak pengunjung, hingga ratusan orang. Interiornya sangat cerah, ada mural yang artistik, serta pernik-pernik yang serba modern, dan mengesankan jiwa muda. Di setiap meja disediakan kompor elektronik mini, serta tablet yang bisa digunakan untuk memesan makanan. Kesannya memang kekinian banget.
Makanannya? Shabu-shabu tentu saja. Yang unik adalah kuahnya yang bermacam-macam, tepatnya ada 6 macam, yakni kuah kaldu ayam, tom yam, soto, laksa, kimchi, dan kuah keju. Dagingnya juga sangat bervariasi, mulai dari daging sapi, daging kambing, hinggga seafood, yang semuanya sangat fresh.
Selain shabu-shabu, Fire Pot juga memiliki berbagai menu ala carte menu, salah satunya Baked Baby Lobster with Cheese.  Bayangkan, lobster muda dipanggang dengan keju yang meleleh di atasnya. Hmm…
Kalau suka udang, pilih saus mayones yang kalah enaknya. Ide lain adalah memesan goreng-gorengan, dan yang istimewa adalah tahu lonceng. Semuanya sangat menggugah selera.

Untuk set menu, kebetulan saya memilih seafood, yang selalu menjadi favorit saya. Jika Anda tidak suka makanan laut karena baunya, di sini tidak ada bau tersebut. Semua bahan sangat fresh, tinggal kita mencemplungkan ke kuah di atas pemanas elektronik tersebut dengan kematangan sesuai selera.

Untuk kuahnya, saya memilih kuah keju, yang belum pernah saya temukan sebelumnya untuk makanan ala shabu-shabu ini. Kejunya sangat creamy, dengan rasa yang pas. Hasilnya? Wow! Perpaduan rasa Timur dan Barat yang sedap.

Untuk hidangan penutup banyak pilihan yang menarik. Coba saja, sebutlah, es krim yoghurt, yang disajikan bersama dengan mochi dan cokelat. Dijamin nagih!

Well, dari petualangan rasa kali ini saya mendapatkan pengalaman yang sangat menyenangkan di Fire Pot. Makanan dengan rasa yang lezat, bahkan unik, terutama untuk kaldu kejunya, ambiance yang nyaman, sangat cocok untuk dinikmati bersama teman atau keluarga. (Burhan Abe/Foto-foto: Koleksi Fire Pot)
