Recreate the excitement of Bali! Enjoy the colorful "Nasi Chanpuru"!

Nasi Chanpuru, an Indonesian meal style: What is its charm?

A large plate is beautifully decorated with a variety of side dishes and curries. It is called "Nasi Chanpuru," an Indonesian-style meal. Warung Tasaki in Fuchi-machi, Oita City, specializes in nasi champur.

The menu changes daily, and the combination of the day is decided from more than 40 kinds of curries from around the world and more than 100 kinds of side dishes. The spices used in the curries are imported from their home country. The authentic taste of course, but the attraction is that you can find new tastes no matter how many times you visit. No wonder there are many repeat customers and regulars.

Impressed by travel destination, plans to open a store soon after returning home

I went to Bali, Indonesia for a visit. I was impressed by the beauty of the city and the nasi champuru style of eating. I wanted to serve this dish! So, as soon as I returned from Bali, I started looking for a place to open a restaurant.

Junko Tasaki, the owner, recalls. She was already running a bar at the time, but with her enthusiasm and energy, she created a popular menu while self-taught.

The key is balance. She pays attention not only to taste, but also to texture, aroma, and appearance. The excitement at the moment the nasi champuru arrives at the table may be born from this attention to detail.

Relocating to Beppu City, a New Challenge

According to Mr. Tasaki, Waruntasaki plans to relocate during FY2024. The new location is near Beppu University Station. While Beppu is often associated with restaurants offering international cuisine, Mr. Tasaki expressed his ambitions, saying, "I hope that customers will enjoy having more choices when selecting a restaurant. The menu is currently being conceived, and he says it will be a different kind of restaurant than the one he has now. What kind of smiles will Mr. Tasaki's new challenge bring to his customers' faces? We look forward to the future.
