Tucked away on the P5 floor of Plaza Senayan, Yashinoki Yokocho is not your average food court — it’s an immersive Japanese culinary playground packed with flavors, vibes, and Insta-worthy aesthetics that’ll transport you straight to Shibuya (minus the flight).

Officially launched to the public on May 7, Yashinoki Yokocho has already created major buzz. From a humble soft opening featuring seven vendors, it’s now expanded to 12 curated Japanese food stalls, each offering their own delicious twist on classic and modern Japanese eats.

And yes — you’re going to want to try all of them.

Ramen with Truffle? Mochi with Strawberry Cream? Say less.
We got an exclusive first taste at the Grand Opening, and let’s just say — Yashinoki Yokocho is a whole vibe. Whether you're a ramen snob, matcha lover, or just on the hunt for a chill weekend hangout, this place hits all the right notes. Here are a few of the standout stops that’ll make your FYP (and taste buds) go wild:

• Yoka-Yoka serves donburi with bold toppings like Mabo Tofu and Yakiniku, blending izakaya vibes with comfort food energy.
• Don Maru takes onigiri to the next level with gourmet fillings and local collabs — yes, there's Rendang Onigiri and it's fire.
• Salmon Noodle 3.0 might just be the coolest ramen joint in town — think French-Japanese fusion and Michelin vibes. Truffle Cheese Salmon Noodles? Obsessed.
• Asa Kiosk brings zen with its matcha lattes and taiyaki — minimalist, calming, and very “soft cafe-core.”
• Sakura Jewelry Sweets is where dessert dreams are made — mochi, sando, and strawberry cream everything. It's giving... sweet, soft luxury.

The Vibe Check: Japanese Aesthetic Meets Modern Hangout
More than just food, Yashinoki Yokocho nails the ambience. Picture warm lighting, wooden facades, cozy corners, and an aesthetic so curated it deserves its own Pinterest board. It’s perfect for casual hangouts, romantic ramen dates, or even solo food therapy after a stressful week.

And the best part? Most items are student-budget friendly, starting at Rp 25.000 — so you don’t need a Tokyo budget to snack like a Tokyoite.

The Verdict
Plaza Senayan just became way cooler. Yashinoki Yokocho isn’t just a food court — it’s a portal to modern Japanese street food culture, right in the heart of Jakarta.

Whether you're a foodie, a coffee nerd, a mochi loyalist, or just looking for a fresh hangout spot, this is your next must-visit. So grab your crew (or go solo), scroll past your go-to cafes, and step into the Yokocho.
