What began earlier this year as a popular online daifuku delivery venture has quickly expanded into one of Batam’s most talked-about brick-and-mortar destinations. Located in Sukajadi, Ka e ru has transitioned its artisanal dessert roots into a full-fledged Japanese café experience.
Beyond its signature mochi treats, the kitchen curates a refined menu of Japanese-inspired savory snacks, delicate desserts, and inventive beverages, drawing steady crowds and weekend waiting lists.
Raw Textures, Backlit Warmth & Moody Intimacy
From Online Daifuku Sensation to Batam’s Most Sought-After Japanese Haven
Inside, Ka e ru pairs wabi-sabi minimalism with a moody, dark-toned interior palette. Rough plaster walls, exposed dark ceilings, and sleek metallic chairs create an industrial yet cozy aesthetic. Warm amber light radiates down from a large ceiling canopy, casting a soft glow over the intimate seating area.
Because the space is intentionally compact and seating is limited, the dining room retains a quiet, focused energy. Diners should anticipate waiting for a table, especially during afternoon peak hours and weekends but the relaxed, unhurried atmosphere inside makes the wait worthwhile.
Dessert That Won't Make You Feel Heavy
Comforting and Savory Japanese Small Bites With Their Own Twist
Onigiri Set Shrimp Wasabi Mayo: A light, delicate rice triangle wrapped in crisp nori, stuffed with fresh shrimp, a hint of wasabi that makes it even more comforting, and a light coat of Japanese mayo.
Gyoza: An inventive spin on a Japanese staple, pan-fried dumplings with a thick, tender filling, resting in a subtle sweet dashi broth and topped with golden, crispy potato frites.
Black Sesame Anmitsu: A refreshing, well-balanced traditional dessert featuring silky black sesame dressing, soft jelly, kinako powder, and chewy mochi bites.
Ka e ru proves that a brand built on passion and intention can seamlessly evolve from pre-order treats into a standout café concept. With its artfully presented bites, comforting drinks, and distinctive aesthetic, it stands as one of Sukajadi's new gems, just be sure to arrive early to beat the queue.
Best For: dessert, cafe hopping, and hangout spot.
