Sumizen promises an immersive journey into authentic Japanese culinary traditions, located within the lush environs of AYANA Bali. Known for its unique Japanese-style Korean barbecue, Sumizen offers diners a taste of dishes meticulously crafted over a binchō-tan-fueled grill.

Each dining experience is personalized, featuring eight private dining chambers designed with Japanese architectural elegance. Each chamber includes a private balcony, allowing guests to enjoy the views of a Japanese garden as they savor their meals.

The dining experience at Sumizen is elevated under the guidance of Executive Chef Takumi Kimura, who brings a wealth of experience from prestigious Japanese hotels to the kitchen. His culinary philosophy focuses on reimagining and perfecting the art of Japanese-style Korean barbecue, ensuring each visit is a refined and memorable experience.

The restaurant's interior is both serene and sophisticated, providing an intimate setting perfectly suited for special occasions or quiet family gatherings. Open for lunch and dinner, Sumizen caters to those looking for both a culinary adventure and a retreat into Japanese serenity.
