Bandra-based restaurant Izumi is popping up at Juhu’s iconic Sun-n-Sand hotel this weekend for all those who love Japanese food from January 12 - 14.
Chef Nooresha Kably and the Izumi team will bring an array of culinary favourites to guests at the hotel's 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.
