SAGO & SPICE
Reclaiming Indonesia’s Food Identity
What if we rediscovered Indonesia through the ingredients, spices, and food traditions that shaped our culinary identity?
As part of Wonderful Indonesia Gastronomy (WIG), JAVARA brings together TAMU, Chef Bara Pattiradjawane, Kagounga, Seniman Pangan, and PASTI Collective for a celebration of two remarkable elements of Nusantara’s culinary heritage: Sago & Spice.
Through this two-day gastro-cultural experience, we revisit native ingredients, rediscover forgotten food traditions, and explore how Indonesia’s rich culinary heritage can inspire the future of gastronomy.
