Jamu Jago

Semarang


Jamu Jago, 6km south of the city on the Ambarawa road, is a large manufacturer of the herbal medicine for which Semarang is famous. The outlet offers tours and has an interesting little museum on site. The wall topped with concrete roosters, part of the company's branding, makes a good landmark.
