間 — the potent beauty of empty space.
The pause that gives shape to the whole.
Sushi & Sashimi·Teppan & Donburi·Pantai Nyanyi, near Nuanu
Reserve a TableAt ma., we believe in restraint. In the pause between bites, the quiet of a wooden table, the ritual of a meal shared without hurry.
Named for the Japanese concept of 間 — the meaningful interval between things — our kitchen honors both the ingredient and the silence around it. Sushi, sashimi, teppan, and donburi, made with intention.
Eat slowly. The sea is outside. There's nowhere to be.
Sushi Don
Glistening pearls of red gold on fresh salmon.
Gunkan
Rich, messy, and unapologetic.
Agemono
If you hear the crunch from the next table, you'll regret not ordering it.
Appetizer
Sashimi-grade fish or beef, surface-seared for a smoky aroma. Served with a zesty citrus-soy glaze. Choice of maguro, beef, or gindara.
Signature Roll
Unagi, soft shell crab, cucumber & unagi sauce. Our boldest roll.
Sushi Don
Sweet, smoky, glazed. The eel bowl that converts non-believers.
Appetizer
Japanese comfort in a cup. Melt-in-your-mouth savory custard with hidden treasures of the land and sea.
Appetizer
Authentic Japanese sakura wood smoke. Our most labor-intensive dish.
Gunkan
Popping pearls of red gold. Pure luxury in one bite.
This isn't just the best sushi in Bali, it's some of the best sushi period. You can tell everything is made with love and care. Everything is incredibly fresh and the portions are insane. I can't wait to go back.
Best Japanese food we had around the world. 10/10
The sushi and sashimi were some of the freshest we've ever had — beautifully prepared, incredibly flavourful, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. A true hidden gem.
Classic Japanese food done in such a proper way that it's hard to find elsewhere, especially in Bali. The tempura was fried perfectly, the sashimi was very clean tasting, and the smoked pork belly was something special. This place will put Nyanyi on the map.
Best best best! I am a sushi lover and this place is definitely one of the best sushi places I have ever visited. The chef paid extra attention to all of the ingredients — from bluefin tuna to the simplest wakame. All super fresh and amazing quality.
Hidden gem near Nuanu. Honestly wasn't expecting the food to be this good. Everything we ordered was amazing — the Oyakodon was my favourite. Super fresh, great quality, and the service was just as good as the food.
