Mumbai: What happens when Mumbai’s cosmopolitan flair collides with Tokyo’s timeless traditions? You get Sozo Izakaya—a warm, boisterous izakaya-style restaurant that’s quietly revolutionizing the city’s sushi scene, one roll at a time. This International Sushi Day, step inside this Versova gem and let your chopsticks take the lead on a journey where familiarity meets finesse.
With a menu that mirrors the city it resides in—vibrant, experimental, and comfort-driven—Sozo’s sushi selections offer something for everyone, whether you’re a die-hard sashimi loyalist or the kind who believes cream cheese has every right to be in a maki roll. Here’s our curated list of 7 sushi rolls you absolutely must try at Sozo Izakaya this Sushi Day:
Avocado Maki is a clean, creamy classic made for those who believe less is more. This roll is an ode to subtlety and balance, bringing a light freshness that pairs beautifully with a drizzle of soy and a whisper of wasabi.
Veg Dynamite crackles with bold tempura crunch and a spicy mayo punch. Perfect for vegetarians who want their sushi with a little drama and a lot of dynamite.
Sozo Veg Maki is the house favourite—an umami-packed vegetarian roll that defies expectations with texture and tang. Think of it as a vegetable garden with an attitude, rolled tight in nori.
Crab Avocado Maki brings together silky avocado and the delicate sweetness of crab in a classic roll that celebrates land and sea. Smooth, luxurious, and endlessly satisfying.
Sozo Shrimp Maki lives up to its namesake. Expect plump shrimp, perfectly cooked, layered with creamy elements and a touch of heat. A roll made for the spotlight.
Spicy Salmon Avocado (Nori Out) delivers smoky richness from the salmon balanced with cool creaminess from avocado. Inside-out for extra style, and just the right bite for those craving modern flavour fireworks.
Tori Maki is a true wildcard—fried chicken nanban with tangy slaw and tonkatsu sauce rolled into sushi. Equal parts comforting and surprising, it’s Sozo’s way of saying sushi has no rules.
Whether you like it raw, crunchy, saucy, or veg-forward, Sozo Izakaya serves sushi with soul and swagger. And on International Sushi Day, it’s more than just a meal—it’s your passport from Versova to vibrant Tokyo, one bite at a time.
