TOIRO - Wagashi — Restaurant in Bali

Toiro is a hidden gem on Bali — a truly authentic Japanese dessert café that feels like a secret world tucked away from everything else. I’ve never seen anything quite like it here. The moment you step inside, it’s as if time slows down. The space is calm, warm, and full of quiet charm. It's not one of those trendy, fast-paced cafés — it's something far more special.

The décor is thoughtful and delicate — soft lighting, wooden textures, and the most adorable little teapots I’ve ever seen. Everything feels intentional, almost ceremonial. You can tell that love and tradition live in every detail.

I tried the matcha chocolate (incredible!) and two types of mochi — one with cinnamon, the other with a beautifully roasted finish. Both were chewy, rich in flavor, and deeply comforting. The kitchen is open, so you can actually see the desserts being made — it adds a kind of intimacy and connection to the experience.

There’s also a long list of matcha and specialty Japanese teas — I wanted to try them all. Honestly, the whole menu is a mystery in the best way: I didn’t always know what I was ordering, but every bite was a beautiful surprise.

It’s the kind of place you want to return to — not just for the food, but for how it makes you feel. Peaceful, inspired, a little nostalgic. I’m already planning to come back for the raindrop cake. I have a feeling it’ll be...

The wagashi are tasty, we ended up ordering 4 kinds of wagashi.

Winding clothes: raspberry flavor with kidney beans filling. The taste was unique, it is better with bitter matcha as it is on the sweet side.

New energy: my favorite so far. If you want to try wagashi with the typical traditional flavors (matcha, azuki), this is the go-to option! Not too sweet.

Ichigo daifuku: strawberry wrapped with mochi and red bean paste. It was not listed on the menu when I came here. The price is 25k. I also love this! The strawberry was a bit sour, but it was refreshing. It goes well with the red bean paste.

Hopscotch: matcha and chocolate small bites. The texture is gooey. The dark chocolate is thick, it has a bitter flavor. The match bite was delightful.

It is located in a very crowded location, especially during the sun sets. Very limited parking area. I recommend to go there by a motorbike. Only has one car parking spot (I don’t know if they have a parking area in another location) No indoor...

Didn't expect to find Japanese wagashi treats in Bali but we did! They're so fun and delicious and there's so many to choose from, I hope the pictures speak for themselves for what a cute and delightful afternoon treat this was! Don't let the size fool you though the portion of each treat is pretty dense and I struggled to finish my treats despite going there with an empty stomach; I definitely recommend going with a friend to be able to try many different treats.

Service itself could be better as most of the time there was no staff so it took a while to order but they were polite! Atmosphere wise, Toiro is tucked away by the side of a road so the bikes and traffic passing by can be very loud and ruin the otherwise quiet cafe. It's also quite hot as there is only one standing fan. Not a deal breaker though, just be prepared! Would definitely come again to get my...
