Umezushi (Victoria)

• Mrs FoodGeek was less impressed that the wine list didn&rsquo
• We started with a pickle platter
• Beetroot which was perfectly decent
• Though the beetroot tasted no better than pickled beetroot out of a jar and the cucumber was not particularly interesting either
• It was the sushi that I was most keen to try as I&rsquo
• Ve heard so many good things about it and when it was presented to us I immediately understood why
• Each made up with various ingredients including tiger prawn
• The rice was cooked and seasoned to absolute perfection while the fish was exceptional quality and had obviously been prepared by somebody with expert knife skills
• All looked and tasted amazing with the tuna Nigiri and both the tiger prawn &
• The fish literally melted in my mouth and the taste was unbelievable
• The sushi was served with customary soy sauce
• M not a massive wasabi lover but do try to like it and this was easy to like
• Interestingly it was much less green than usual too
• I wish I knew if the colour was related to the taste
• UmeZushi are also well known for their tempura with many claiming it&rsquo

• I found the courgette a little bland but the others were really good
• The seafood selection was excellent too
• White fish and squid which was especially good
• Instead there is a specials board which features a &lsquo

• A large portion with a generous amount of delicious moist roast pork in an umani rich miso broth with wilted pak choi and soft noodles
• Everything was cooked well
• Our final dish was a side of Braised Burdock Root which i&rsquo
• I really loved the flavour of the earthy burdock and the combination with the carrot &
• The sushi here is an obvious advantage but Yuzu has a much wider range of dishes
• Some of which are really excellent
• M grateful that Manchester has two fantastic Japanese restaurants and that rather than competing with each other they almost compliment each other
• Very authentic feel with small tables and japanese music
• First thing you might notice about the menu is prices are very specific
• This is the best sushi in Manchester
• Everything was so fresh and tasty definitely the best sashimi and sushi in the Manchester
• This sushi place is a little off the beaten track but is definitely worth the short journey
• If the oysters are on the menu they are perfect
• Variety of Tunas is also great to try different styles
