Kazoku

You're walking past the seafront towards The Leas, and Kazoku pulls you in with that unmistakable smell of quality fish and rice vinegar. It's not trying to be flash—just straightforward, honest Japanese cooking in a stripped-back setting. The sushi arrives cut clean, the nigiri sits properly on your plate, and there's none of that overwrought fusion nonsense you sometimes get. This is the kind of place locals keep coming back to because it does the fundamentals brilliantly and doesn't charge you daft money for it.
