Izumi (in Japanese) means "fountain" or "spring"

For the sushi lovers Izumi offers the widest choice of the raw delicacies.

Hideo Aoki, an apprentice chef is busy at the sashimi bar when we visit and delicately slices, rolls and cuts the raw fish vegetables into artistic compositions for the clients who get a kick out of watching how their food is being prepared. Behind him on the wall is a large-sized calligraphy work that roughly translates to 'The spirit of Buddha' (to follow the right path) done by famous Japanese artist Sekijyou Kaneda.

Japanese food is not just Sushi, Sashimi, Maki Rolls and Tempura.

While one would find all of the above at Izumi, Head Chef Nakajimaya Masayuki and his apprentice Aoki Hideo are here to serve you authentic and traditional Japanese cuisine including a range of salads, Yaki, grilled, steamed and stewed food. Izumi also offers Japanese Wagyu and Kobe Beef Steaks, Sukiyaki, Udon bowls and much more.

Izumi is open for dinner every night from 6pm last order at 11pm
Reservations recommended.

Samdado, the island of three rocks, as explained by the owner and chief chef Chris Lee, is Japan brought closer to the Bengali stomach. It is a nicely decorated cosy eatery with traditional rice paper windows, skin coloured tables and chairs, interesting artworks and wall hangings. Together with the lighting the restaurant gives a formal yet relaxing atmosphere. The all-spreading gleam is reassuringly oriental in ambience.

Samdado is the only eatery in Dhaka serving authentic Japanese dishes and some Korean food as well. Most Japanese food they serve, ingredient-wise, may not surprise the Dhakaites. However, be ready to gulp down items that are high on taste but low on spice. At Samdado, everything comes with a bona fide Far Eastern signature. There is a lot of recipes that use white rice and seaweed mixed with soy sauce, healthy diet to appease one's appetite.

They have the first of its kind ‘sushi bar', "specifically meant for single food connoisseur who is to sit alone and enjoy the opportunity to place order directly to the chef, adding to the already existing friendly environment orchestrated by a cheerful staff," as Chris puts it.

My favourite was the cucumber and mixed fresh vegetable salad with dressing. Beware though; it comes in tiny little containers, so you might not resist the temptation to order for two.

There is of course the ‘killer sushi' served on wooden platter. This is usually raw fish and is ready to take your Bengali breath away. If you want to get started with sushi, it is better to go easy on your taste buds by ordering shrimp or salmon. They are cooked. There are also sushi rolls, which are just made of vegetables rolled around seaweed and rice -- the taste is heavenly.

"The fishes used for the sushi has to be brought from Thailand, Korea, and Japan to maintain the quality and that causes the price to shoot up," says a smiling Chris.

The menu at Samdado changes every four months. The idea is to serve dishes that are well keyed with the seasons. Chris loves to prepare items out of fresh available products, for which sometime different sorts of vegetable preparations and fishes becomes a springboard.

Zafar Khan, who jointly owns the place with his wife Farzeen Quader Chowdhury, spelled out his mission statement: “There are so many places in Dhaka that attract teenagers; we wanted to have a place that attracts a more mature clientele. I am not saying that teenagers are not welcome here, they definitely are, but our target demographic are people who are a bit older, who can come here and relax with their colleagues or their spouses.I have often felt out of place when I visited a lot of the cafés here, through no fault of theirs. It is just that when you are surrounded by people most of whom are of a different generation, you are bound to feel out of place. And I am not even that old”  More...
