The Legacy Continues at ORIJIN
Discover ORIJIN at Sari Pacific Jakarta, offering authentic Japanese Robatayaki, fresh sashimi, and reimagined dining experiences.
Sari Pacific Jakarta’s legendary Japanese restaurant returns with a new look and a new name, but the charms that built its reputation still remain.
There is something reassuring about returning to a restaurant that has been around for years. Even when faces change, interiors are updated, and new dishes appear on the menu, guests will always search for a sense of familiarity. This was the mission for ORIJIN JAPANESE DINING, located on the Lobby Level of Sari Pacific Jakarta, Autograph Collection, as they walked the tightrope of refreshing their identity whilst staying true to what many of their long-time Jakarta patrons have loved for decades.
The restaurant’s history dates back to 1976. Since then, it has evolved through several names, from Furusato to Keyaki (its most famous iteration), then to The Japanese, before arriving at its current form as ORIJIN. As this new name suggests, this new rendition signifies the venue returning to its roots.
Appeasing the more nostalgic of diners, under “Timeless Taste Since 1976,” signatures like the Robatayaki Gindara, Robatayaki Salmon, and Robatayaki Hamachi Kama continue to hold their place, alongside Japanese Wagyu Miyazaki Sirloin A5, US Tenderloin, and Australian Wagyu Sirloin MB9+, which can be enjoyed as Robatayaki, Teppanyaki, or ORIJIN-style Teriyaki.
Yet innovation continues in the kitchen, with a serving of new dishes under “Flavours Reimagined – 2026,” which includes Gindara Misoyaki, Salmon Steak, Hamachi Kama ORIJIN-age, and Yakiniku Gyu Karubi. To close, the restaurant’s signature ORIJIN Cheesecake is set to become a new classic.
ORIJIN’s new space evokes the comfort of a contemporary Japanese home with select design details retained from earlier chapters – a fresh feel that secures the restaurant’s place in Jakarta’s modern dining scene.
Looking ahead, ORIJIN plans to introduce seasonal menus, collaborations, and curated events celebrating Japanese culture and cuisine. For some guests, the restaurant holds decades of memories, while for newcomers, ORIJIN offers an opportunity to experience one of Jakarta’s longest-standing Japanese dining destinations. ORIJIN JAPANESE DINING welcomes guests daily for à la carte lunch from 11.30 AM to 2.30 PM and dinner from 6 PM to 10.30 PM.
Looking ahead, ORIJIN plans to introduce seasonal menus, collaborations, and curated events celebrating Japanese culture and cuisine.

Here we explore the history of batik in Jakarta and the organisations that are pushing for the industry’s revival in the city.
