Miss Fish Bali’s MATSURI Festival Runs Three Nights in June 2026

Bali — Miss Fish Bali staged its three-night MATSURI Festival from 11 to 13 June 2026 at its restaurant on Jalan Raya Semat No. 4 in Tibubeneng, Canggu, presenting an immersive evening that fused Japanese mythology-inspired décor, live performances, music and a multi-course tasting menu, according to coverage by NOW! Bali and Epicure Asia.

The event transformed the venue into what Epicure described as a “cinematic, shrine-like universe” drawing on Shinto mythology, sacred rituals and fantasy worlds. NOW! Bali similarly reported that the festival was inspired by Shinto mythology, traditional Japanese festivals and worlds of ancient spirits, with dramatic décor, immersive lighting and atmospheric sound.

Across the three nights, Miss Fish reconfigured its dining room and lounge with bonsai-inspired installations, pagoda-style structures, shrine details and suspended koi fish, creating a theatrical landscape that framed the culinary and performance programme. The restaurant, housed in a black cube-shaped building on Jalan Raya Semat No. 4, is known for its omakase dining room and late-night bar atmosphere.

Performances and dining programme

Both NOW! Bali and Epicure reported that guests were offered live Japanese-inspired entertainment, including powerful taiko drumming and curated Japanese performances. Harper’s Bazaar Indonesia, writing about the festival as Miss Fish’s signature annual event, noted that the atmosphere was animated by taiko, masked dancers, theatrical lighting and a sequence of performances building a celebratory rhythm through the night.

The culinary programme placed a multi-course tasting menu at the centre of the evening. NOW! Bali detailed a menu that combined Japanese precision with contemporary global innovation, starting with a tuna roll featuring smoked tuna tartare, crispy seaweed and yuzu gelée, followed by hamachi tiradito with Japanese amberjack, strawberry vinaigrette and ginger salsa.

Subsequent courses included butter-poached Japanese king prawn, assorted sushi selections, a pickled consommé and prime tomahawk, concluding with desserts such as caramelised pineapple with port wine ice cream and a croissant gelato with soy reduction.

Epicure Asia described the festival as a refined Japanese culinary event that invites enthusiasts of Japanese cuisine and culture to an immersive evening, positioning the multi-course tasting menu as the heart of the night. A separate review by Supper Social characterised the omakase experience as a 12-course menu hosted by Executive Chef Carlos Barvo and the Miss Fish chef team, accompanied by cocktail pairings by bar manager Rahadhie Putra.

NOW! Bali reported that the Matsuri Set Menu – Omakase at the chef’s counter was priced at IDR 1,900,000++ per person, with seating beginning at 8.30 p.m., and that the intimate counter experience offered limited seats. The Matsuri Set Menu – Patio & Lounge was priced at IDR 900,000++ per person, with two sessions at 6 p.m. and 8.30 p.m. Reservations were described as highly recommended, with contact details including WhatsApp at +62 812 3000 6477, the email bookings@missfishbali.com and the event page missfishbali.com/matsuri.

Annual festival format and cultural framing

Supper Social noted that MATSURI has been held annually at Miss Fish since 2024 as a three-night event each June, with the 2026 edition again selling out its limited seats. Epicure described the festival as establishing itself as an annual Japanese festival in Bali, pairing theatrical folklore with refined Japanese culinary precision in a vibrant three-day format.

Harper’s Bazaar Indonesia framed MATSURI as Miss Fish’s signature annual event and highlighted its use of Shinto-inspired mythology, Japanese festival traditions and contemporary fantasy styling, combining installations, performance and a special degustation menu to create a multisensory celebration. The published reports do not provide full details on the specific Shinto stories or shrine practices referenced, nor do they list individual performers beyond noting collaborations with local artists for certain visual elements such as hand-painted bottles in related activations.
