The cute sumo wrestler at one of Bandra’s coolest new hotspots, Tatami, opened his arms to celebrities, politicians and Mumbai’s elite, who attended its launch party. The Japanese restaurant, that’s also touted to be India’s largest sake bar, came alive as expert chefs prepared fresh sushi and delectable Japanese delicacies from an extensive menu for its guests.
Young entrepreneurs Neha Premjee and Shivam Hingorani have brought a unique concept to Mumbai, inspired by Japan’s Izikayas. Guests were seen sake bombing at the bar, while others sipped on specialty Japanese beverages and enjoyed an array of sushi, signature black cod and prawn tempura. A double celebration ensued as the crowd sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to wish Salim Merchant.
