Staying true to its vision “For Indonesia and Indonesians,” Plataran Indonesia continues to champion cultural diplomacy through hospitality, reaffirming its role in representing Indonesia on the global stage. This commitment was showcased through “Gastronomy Diplomacy: Four Hands Luncheon & Dinner,” a culinary collaboration with Hotel Okura Co., Ltd., following their strategic partnership signed in February 2025.
Held at Hutan Kota by Plataran and Rumah Heritage Jakarta, the event united the head chefs from both institutions in a menu that blended Indonesian and Japanese flavours, artistry, and philosophy—symbolising friendship and harmony through the shared language of gastronomy.
“At Plataran, every collaboration is an opportunity to create impact through culture and hospitality. This event reflects our continuous effort to showcase Indonesia’s culinary excellence on the global stage, nurture meaningful cross-cultural connections, and further our commitment to cultural diplomacy.” said Yozua Makes, Founder and CEO of Plataran Indonesia.
Guests were treated to a series of inventive dishes combining Japanese precision with Indonesian spice, including:
- Gado-Gado Miso – a refined take on Indonesia’s classic salad, enhanced with wakame, miso, and nori tempura.
- Kushiyaki and Nasi Goreng Kecombrang – a creative pairing of Yuzu Salmon Nagaimo, Sambal Matah, and Gindara Skewer with Dabu-Dabu Sambal, served with Plataran’s signature fried rice.
- Surf and Turf – Salmon Miso Zuke and Rib Eye Bumbu Rempah, complemented by Onigiri Tapa Kolo, merging Nusa Tenggara and Japanese traditions.
- Duo Manis – a dessert of fried mochi and glutinous rice balls with matcha mitarashi sauce and kuromitsu.
