After making waves from Kyoto to Kuala Lumpur and Australia, Towzen has officially opened its doors in Batam.
Leaning heavily into a minimalist, high-quality plant-based menu and pristine Zen design, this restaurant sets a premium new standard for the island’s dining scene.
A Zen Retreat in the City
From Kyoto to Batam
Finding a truly premium, aesthetic plant-based concept in Batam used to be a challenge. Enter Towzen. Originating from Kyoto, this vegan Japanese culinary brand has quietly expanded its global footprint, landing right here in Taman Baloi.
The focus is clear: uncompromising quality, a calm atmosphere that washes over you the moment you step inside, and a thoughtful menu that proves plant-based dining can be deeply indulgent. While the price point leans toward the premium end, the precise flavors and ingredients justify every rupiah.
Artisanal Beverages & Desserts
If you appreciate mindful spaces, beautiful minimalist design, and highly intentional flavors, this tranquil sanctuary absolutely deserves a spot on your weekend itinerary..
Best For: Date nights, calm retreat, matcha runs, vegan.
The Hearty and Generous Mains
Towzen Mushroom Shoyu Ramen: Light yet umami-rich broth with generous, textured homegrown oyster mushrooms. The portion is substantial and perfect for sharing, finishing with a very subtle, sophisticated bitter note.
Unadon Set: A massive standout for texture. The vegan "unagi" is remarkably sweet, tender, and beautifully glazed. It is a hearty portion, though the accompanying wasabi packs a strong punch.
An Appetizer as Side
Cold Tofu with Sesame Dressing: Silky, smooth cold tofu with a very clean, distinct beancurd aroma balanced by a nutty, savory sesame dressing.
A Worthy Addition to Your Batam Itinerary
Kyoto Uji Matcha Latte: Made with premium, ceremonial-grade matcha. Exceptionally smooth, full-bodied, and a non-negotiable order for serious matcha lovers.
Kyoto Uji Matcha Mousse Cake: Intensely silky texture that melts in your mouth with a bold, bitter-sweet matcha profile. It is not over-sweetened; note that the actual portion size is quite small despite looking larger in close-ups.
Homegrown Gac & Passionfruit Mojito: A sparkling, incredibly refreshing palate cleanser balancing a gentle sweetness with a lively minty kick and crunchy passionfruit seeds.
