January 2024: Izumi, the award-winning Japanese restaurant in Bandra, is popping up for one weekend only, at Juhu’s iconic Sun-n-Sand hotel.
From January 12-14, 2024 (Friday-Sunday) Chef Nooresha Kably and the Izumi team will bring an array of culinary favourites to guests at the hotel’s Sun-n-Sand Sunset Lounge. The collaboration is inspired by the small, sacred island of Miyajima, located on the shore of Hiroshima – Miyajima means ‘shrine island,’ much like the beautiful setting of this pop-up, a shrine in the middle of the chaos that is Mumbai city.
Dishes will include Salads & Small Plates such as Chuka Wakame Salad, seasoned fresh wakame (seaweed) with myoga, fennel, cucumber and crispy eggplant in a creamy tofu shiraae dressing; Crispy Smoked Pork Belly Sando, Japanese-style Sando on Hokkaido milk bread with mustard slaw, gherkins and tonkatsu sauce; and Hamachi Truffle Ponzu with Wasabi Jelly, carpaccio of yellowtail served with wasabi jelly cubes, chili and ponzu. Diners can also sample Izumi’s take on Tacos, choosing the Corn, Water chestnut & Scallion Oil version or the Tuna with Truffle & Togarashi.

An Izumi Wok section will offer dishes like Veg Katsu Curry; Dashi Leek Prawns; and Teriyaki Chicken, all served with a choice of stir-fried rice or noodles.
For Dessert, diners can opt for sweet treats like Elderflower Baked Yogurt topped with sakura jelly, fresh berries and rice crispies; or Toasted Black Sesame Ice Cream, served with an almond crumble and seasonal fresh fruit.
