Japan, just off

25 The Strand, Liverpool

The Strand

Japanese

We are a small independent Japanese restaurant on The Strand, a few steps from Liverpool's business district. The room is snug and low lit: wooden tables, simple chairs, warm spotlights and chopsticks laid ready. Office workers, families and sushi regulars all end up round the same sort of table, usually with a bottle of Kirin somewhere on it.

The freshness of the fish comes up again and again: sashimi that melts in the mouth, with the tuna specials singled out most often, and tempura praised for staying properly crisp.

Many call it a real taste of Japan in Liverpool, the sort of place regulars return to for years rather than visit once.
