Kinshamo (金のしゃもじ) Japanese Restaurant in Jakarta

"I don’t really like duck meat in general because it’s kinda fishy, but this restaurant really really have a great Kamo Shabu, and the soup is soooo good, we can do free karaoke like in Japan Bar. Must try experience!!!"

"I super lovee lovee the ambiance! Very good services & nice food. The staff is friendly and its a great place to have a date dining experience also for hangouts Best omakase in town with less than IDR 700k per person. The food is not a little (like any other omakase) but also not too much. Happy tummy happy me *reservation only‼"

"Tried the aigamo smoked salad and the asu karaage and both were really good. The salad was light with a nice smoky flavor, and the karaage was crispy and tasty. Great for sharing or just snacking."

"Authentic Japanese restaurant in Senayan. Their speciality is Kyoto style Kamo Nabe (Duck hotpot). They also have a good selection of sake & whiskey. If you buy a bottle, they'll let you keep it here for three months. There's also a karaoke room if you're into singing after dinner. You'll notice that almost all the other customers are Japanese. This fact alone already proves that this restaurant is legit."

"Came here to hang out and really liked the atmosphere. The goya champuru was good and easy to enjoy it catched my eyes. Overall a nice experience."

"Relatively new Japanese joint inside Patal Senayan complex. Very good shabu2 with duck, quite rare in Jakarta. The champion for me is the yakitori, esp tebasaki and nankotsu are the best in Jakarta in my view. The fried chicken kaarage is solid too with some flavor twist."

"Recommended by a Japanese expat friend, I was curious to try this authentic Japanese restaurant, plus their signature menu is Kamo (Duck) Shabu-Shabu Kyoto, is something I haven't found in Jakarta yet. Kinshamo opens every day from 6 PM. I highly recommend making an online reservation first.  In the reservation, you can choose either bar or table dining. They also provide private rooms. We reserved for the dinner on Sunday at 6PM for the bar dining, but that time they only serve in table dining, but that  was okay as the place is comfortable and as typical of the privacy in an authentic Japanese restaurant, each table is separated and each has curtain to maintain the privacy. The air conditioner is cold. As a cold fan , I felt more comfortable to dine in here. The staffs were friendly as well. They provide various menu, from their famous duck shabu-shabu, skewers, onigiri, sashimi, karaage, rice dishes, noodles, and many more, including various alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. Let's see what we tried! Kamo Shabu-Shabu Kyoto (IDR 320,000 for 2 persons) This menu is available for 1 person, too. It's their specialty that you cannot miss, especially in your first visit. A simple shabu-shabu that consists of thinly sliced ducks that need to cook fast in the boiling soup made with dashi and duck bone, then the duck is served with the soup along with the green onions. It's very simple yet has a great taste from the tender duck and the warm savory soup. Recommended! Ginger Shoyu Karaage (IDR 35,000 for 2 pcs) I saw on Kinshamo's social media that their karaage from Hokkaido recipe is famous, too. That's why, we tried this one. Oh my, I have to say that this is THE BEST KARAAGE THAT I'VE EVER TRIED SO FAR! The chicken is so juicy, with a slightly gingery and savory soy sauce taste. It is less oily as they used canola oil.  Recommended! Skewers We tried both the pork and duck skewers, but of all, I loved their Aigamo Roast Duck loin (IDR 30,000 per piece) the most. The duck skewer was so tender, juicy, and blended well with their salty and slightly nutty sauce. Recommended! Tonkotsu Ramen (IDR 80,000) A simple ramen with a slice of pork chashu, a boiled egg, and green onions in a pork bone broth. The taste is decent.. Kaku High Ball (IDR 90,000) Randomly choosing this as their recommended highball drink. It's a combination of whisky, soda, ice, and sliced lemon. Highballs are very popular among women because they could enjoy alcoholic drink with a lower alcohol percentage."

"The ambience is one of my favorite things here. Cozy, clean, and feels nice for dinner. After dinner we can sing along and do karaoke with staff or another customers, definitely will come back"
