Mumbai’s go-to Japanese izakaya, Supa San, is redefining midweek plans with “Umeshu Thursdays”, a weekly ode to Japan’s beloved plum liqueur and the art of slowing down to truly savour it.
Curated by Trisha, Supa San’s Bar Manager, the experience unfolds seamlessly within the izakaya’s buzzing yet intimate setting. There’s no rigid format here, just a fluid, easy rhythm that mirrors the spirit of an izakaya night. Think of it as a natural extension of the bar’s philosophy: an open invitation to explore Umeshu through thoughtfully crafted cocktails and curated tastings. Each expression highlights the liqueur’s delicate sweetness, velvety texture, and beautifully layered character.
As the evening deepens and glasses gently clink, guests are drawn into Umeshu’s story, one that begins with its humble origins as a home-brewed plum wine and evolves into its modern-day revival across Japan’s most celebrated bars. It’s this journey that Supa San brings to life, translating tradition into a contemporary, approachable experience. Every pour reflects the bar’s signature blend of creativity, precision, and warmth, making each sip feel both familiar and exciting.
Staying true to its ethos, Supa San continues to champion Japanese spirits in a way that feels engaging rather than intimidating. From sake and shochu to the nuanced elegance of Umeshu, the menu celebrates the depth and diversity of Japan’s drinking culture, infused with the brand’s playful, modern twist.
Umeshu Thursdays is more than just a themed night, it’s a weekly ritual. A midweek escape where time slows down, conversations flow a little easier, and every sip feels intentional. Whether you’re discovering Umeshu for the first time or returning to it with a newfound appreciation, the experience invites you to linger, connect, and soak in the moment.
