Six great places for sushi and sashimi in Greater Manchester

5 years ago

No longer reserved for the most adventurous of gourmands, factory packs of, mostly inferior, sushi line today’s UK supermarket shelves. With the first Japanese restaurant appearing in London in the mid-seventies, and the first conveyor belt style gaff arriving 20 years later, it’s been a slow burn.

In Manchester’s enviably pancultural dining scene there are many places where you can indulge in sushi and sashimi, from the aforementioned supermarket meal-deal to level-up chain cafes, to bijou joints in Chinatown. We even have one world-class award-winning star in a railway arch.

This small selection includes the traditional and the experimental. Plates of spanking fresh sashimi, simple but precise nigiri, tuna, seafood and steak, there’s even a sushi taco. Itadakimasu!

    Restaurant - Japanese

    Yuzu is a neighbourhood-style Japanese restaurant offering refreshingly uncomplicated dishes served in Zen-like surroundings. You won’t find a conveyor belt of sushi here, but something altogether more traditional, such as spanking fresh sashimi.
