This Japanese restaurant is really cool. You get served by robots! Oh, and the food’s really good, too. So naturally I had to write their web copy. Here’s an excerpt…
Authentic Japanese Cuisine… with a modern twist
Sakura Japanese Restaurant, Cheetham Hill, Manchester, sets the standard for traditional Japanese cuisine. We choose the only the best ingredients for all our dishes, with all our culinary creations receiving the care and attention that we believe great food deserves. Delicious old-school Japanese food served in a contemporary style… with a high-tech twist!
Sushi!
Where?
Traditional Sushi was simply salted fish, wrapped in fermented rice. First developed in Southeast Asia, this simple yet delicious cuisine spread quickly throughout Southeast Asia, into Southern China and then, by the 8th century, into Japan.
Why?
Sushi literally means ‘it’s sour’. Why? Because Sushi was traditionally preserved in salt. Sushi is vinegared rice topped with other ingredients, unlike Sashimi, which is slices of raw fish served on their own. Sashimi is simply not Sushi, because it’s not served with rice!
When?
The Sushi you will most likely know, and love is Nigirizushi. A more modern form of Sushi, that began with the Japanese chef Hanaya Yohei in 1824. His methods not only proved far quicker, providing far more choice more quickly, but they also improved the flavours.
