When we talk about Japan, it’s impossible not to think about its rich culture, unique atmosphere, and delicious food. There are so many reasons why travelers fall in love with Japan—from its traditions and history to its anime and, of course, its cuisine. Among all the beloved Japanese dishes, sushi, ramen, and sashimi are definitely at the top of the list for many.
Today, let’s take a closer look at one of Japan’s most popular comfort foods: ramen. According to Wikipedia, ramen is a Japanese noodle dish made with thin, yellow noodles served in a flavorful broth made from various kinds of stock. What makes ramen so special is its perfectly chewy noodles and rich, aromatic soup that warms your soul.
Here in Denpasar, there are quite a few restaurants serving ramen. But let’s be honest—not all of them deliver that authentic Japanese flavor. Some places simply recreate ramen based on recipes they found or experiences from trips to Japan. But is there a place in Bali where you can enjoy truly authentic Japanese ramen?
The answer is yes.
One of our top recommendations is Gold’n Club Bali.
Gold’n Club Bali – A Taste of Japan in Denpasar
You’ll find this gem on Jalan Danau Buyan, Sanur, Denpasar—right across from Banjar Gulingan Sanur. From the outside, it has a modern café vibe with plenty of parking space. But as soon as you step inside, you’ll feel like you’ve been transported to Japan. The interior is beautifully decorated with Japanese touches everywhere. The mix of white walls and warm brown wooden furniture creates a cozy and inviting atmosphere. You’ll even spot Japanese magazines placed around the space, adding to its charm.
So What Makes Gold’n Club Bali So Special?
Here’s the secret: the owner of Gold’n Club is a native Japanese who has been living in Bali for many years. That means every recipe served here is passed down through generations and prepared by someone who truly understands authentic Japanese flavors.
The menu focuses mainly on ramen and its delicious companions—so don’t expect sushi or sashimi here. Their signature dish is the Torimera Paitan Ramen, famous for its massive portion size and rich, creamy broth. Another must-try is their Pork Chashu.
