For many people living in Yogyakarta, there’s a common problem they face.
In this article, I will introduce the only Japanese restaurant run by a Japanese owner in Yogyakarta that solves this problem for the Japanese residents here.
It is a Japanese restaurant with a Japanese owner located on Jalan Kaliurang in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
There are many Japanese restaurants in Yogyakarta, but most of them are run by Indonesians and the taste is slightly adapted for the Indonesian palate.
Among them, as far as I know, the only Japanese-run restaurant is “Wagokoro.”

This is the only place you can buy it in Yogyakarta.

Raw Eggs Safe for Raw Consumption
Don’t you miss tamago kake gohan (raw egg on rice) when you’re living abroad?
There are no Japanese supermarkets in Yogyakarta, and it’s difficult to get eggs that are safe to eat raw.
They sell them in 500g units.
