OUR PASSION, YOUR TABLE
Perched just by the clifftops of Uluwatu, Bali, YUKI Uluwatu is a modern Japanese izakaya that seamlessly blends traditional Japanese flavours with locally sourced Balinese ingredients. Designed as a destination for laid-back lunches, handcrafted cocktails and late-night gatherings, YUKI Uluwatu offers a tranquil yet refined atmosphere in the heart of Uluwatu.
A Design That Embraces Nature
Created by Kosame and Pulau Projects, YUKI Uluwatu’s architecture embodies sustainability and natural minimalism. Designed with an open-air layout, the space seamlessly blends with its surroundings, offering an elevated retreat above the bustling heart of Uluwatu. Crafted from reclaimed wood, natural stone, and organic textures, the design reflects a harmonious balance between Japanese elegance and Bali’s raw beauty, creating an atmosphere that is both warm and refined.
A Modern Take on Japanese Cuisine
YUKI Uluwatu’s innovative menu reinterprets classic Japanese flavours with a contemporary edge, showcasing the finest locally sourced ingredients. The Hokkaido Scallop Carpaccio with green goddess dressing delivers a delicate balance of freshness of herbs and acidity while The Island Sashimi offers a freshness of local sourced line caught fish, paired with citrus and shisho oil. While freshly caught seafood takes centre stage, that’s not to overlook the skewered Yakitori, grilled over traditional binchotan, which brings out the perfect balance of texture and flavour on meats and vegetables. For those seeking something truly special, YUKI Uluwatu also features premium steaks, carefully selected and prepared to perfection, offering a luxurious dining experience by the cliffs of Bali.
Signature Cocktails with a Japanese Influence
The cocktail program, curated by Beverage Director Agung Windu, brings Japanese mixology to the heart of Uluwatu. Featuring ingredients like yuzu, shiso, matcha and umeshu, YUKI’s drinks are perfectly tailored for sunset sessions and late-night revelry. Favourites include the Yuzu Daiquiri and the Mad Matcha - each designed to complement the bold flavours of the menu and the coastal ambiance.
The Meaning Behind YUKI (雪)
The name "Yuki" (雪), meaning "snow" in Japanese, symbolises the contrast between Japan’s refined traditions and Bali’s tropical vibrance. This duality is reflected in YUKI Uluwatu’s sleek, minimalist interiors, curated by Kōsame, a leading studio in wabi-sabi-inspired design.
The Ultimate Dining Destination in Uluwatu
Whether you’re searching for a Japanese-inspired cocktail bar, a vibrant izakaya experience, or a dining spot that captures the energy of Uluwatu, YUKI Uluwatu offers a one-of-a-kind culinary journey. Elevated above the bustling main road, our open-air space blends modern Japanese flavors with Bali’s laid-back charm, making it the perfect destination for both intimate dinners and lively gatherings.
What is an Izakaya?
An izakaya (居酒屋) is a traditional Japanese dining style that blends the lively atmosphere of a casual bar with the rich flavours of Japanese cuisine. Often compared to a Japanese-style gastropub, an izakaya is a place to gather, unwind and enjoy small plates, grilled skewers, fresh seafood and premium meats, all paired with expertly crafted cocktails, sake, and highballs.
At YUKI, we embrace the spirit of the izakaya, creating a dining experience that is vibrant, social and designed for sharing. Our communal table layout encourages guests to connect over bold flavours, while our menu is crafted for a shared dining experience, allowing everyone to explore a variety of dishes together. Whether by the beach in Canggu or atop the cliffs of Uluwatu, YUKI brings a fresh, modern take on the izakaya tradition, infused with locally sourced ingredients and the laid-back energy of Bali.
Line Caught Fresh Fish
and Daily Local Produce
In the heart of Uluwatu’s surf and cliffside charm, YUKI Uluwatu is a tribute to Bali’s rich coastal heritage. Fresh seafood, sourced daily from local fishermen, is the soul of our kitchen, prepared over a wood fire and charcoal grill by Chef Yudha. Meanwhile, Chef Kadek brings an innovative touch, blending native Japanese flavours with Balinese creativity - proof that sustainability and craftsmanship are at the heart of every dish.
Stepping into YUKI Uluwatu restaurant, you’ll find yourself surrounded by Java wood, Kerobokan stones, rattan accents, and flowing Japanese Noren fabrics—a carefully curated space where tradition meets innovation. With communal tables, intimate nooks, sunken lounges, and a private dining enclave, every corner is designed for connection, whether you're sharing a meal with friends or discovering the flavours of Bali through a Japanese lens.
