Mizu Sushi Bar Japanese Restaurant

Head up to Glossop Road and you'll find Mizu tucked away doing proper Japanese sushi without any of the gimmicks. The space feels focused—minimalist but warm—and you can tell immediately that the people behind the counter care about what they're serving. The fish is fresh, the rice is seasoned properly, and the nigiri hits different when it's made with actual technique rather than theatre. Whether you're after classic sets or something more adventurous, there's a real attention to detail that's earned them nearly 260 five-star reviews. It's the kind of place where regulars have their standing orders and the staff remember what you like.
