About
Located on Myasnitskaya Street near Chistye Prudy metro, IZUMI brings together an authentic Japanese izakaya format with the sophistication of a Michelin-pedigreed kitchen. Chef Kobayashi Katsuhiko — who is also the concept chef behind Corner Cafe & Kitchen — has built a menu that covers the full spectrum of Japanese izakaya dining: sashimi, hot small plates, house-made gyoza, and thoughtfully composed rice and noodle dishes. The venue extends into a DJ-friendly sake and cocktail bar on weekend evenings, and offers private karaoke capsule rooms. The combination of high culinary credibility and energetic late-night atmosphere makes IZUMI one of Moscow's most versatile Japanese venues.

IZUMI sits in Basmanny, one of Moscow's neighborhoods where authentic Japanese kitchens have taken root.
