Mumbai, 03rd July 2025: Mumbai’s culinary landscape just got a whole lot cozier this monsoon as Sozo Izakaya, the contemporary Japanese dining space in Versova, presents a menu that celebrates the soulful warmth of ramen and rice bowls. Known for blending authentic izakaya culture with global inspirations, Sozo is serving comfort in every spoonful – just in time for the rains.
The monsoon edit is rooted in the heartiness of traditional Japanese soul food, elevated with Southeast Asian influences. On the ramen side, the Khowsuey Ramen is a standout – rich, aromatic, and packed with bold Burmese-inspired coconut broth, brought to life with Japanese umami and topped with hearty noodles. For those who love a spicy slurp, the Korean Gochujang Ramen offers a fiery balance of fermented chili paste and deep umami, perfect for rainy evenings. Also on the menu is Sozo’s take on the comforting Curry Laksa Ramen, blending creamy Malaysian laksa with the soul of Japanese ramen.
The rice bowl selection is equally satisfying, offering robust, wholesome meals layered with flavor. The Laksa Curry Donburi is a warm, spiced bowl of joy that captures Malaysia’s tropical essence, while the Spicy Toban Donburi brings the heat with Sozo’s signature toban sauce. For purists, the Japanese Katsu Curry offers a nostalgic return to home-style comfort with its mellow, earthy curry over steamy brown rice and pickled vegetables.
More than just food, Sozo’s menu is an expression of modern comfort dining. With every dish, the restaurant stays true to its vision: to blend bold innovation with the soul of Japanese izakaya traditions. Whether you’re curling up indoors or catching up with friends over hearty bowls, this monsoon menu is crafted to soothe the senses and excite the palate.
Sozo continues to grow as a local favorite, and with this thoughtful curation, it invites diners to slow down and savor the warmth – one bowl at a time.
