Top Best Japanese Restaurants in Great Harwood

"Why: As its first restaurant outside of London, Shoryu decided to show the people of Manchester that there is more to ramen than Wagamama lets on. Located in the centre just a short walk from Manchester Piccadilly, it's handily located for next next time you're catching a train into the city. On the menu you’ll find, tonkotsu – a pork broth ramen topped with char siu bbq pork or a chicken katsu curry ramen which merges together two of the most popular Japanese dishes in the UK."

"Known all across the country for their authentic tonkotsu offering, Shoryu Ramen is bringing a taste of Japan to Manchester. As well as the signature chicken yakisoba, you'll find dishes for pescetarians, vegetarians and vegans alike. Better for hot dishes, this spot has a few platefuls of sushi, including salmon sashimi and wakame seaweed salad."

"A fun, contemporary venue in town, Sapporo Teppanyaki offers a more interactive experience for sushi fans, with food prepared before guests in the centre of the restaurant. The Japanese restaurant presents itself as one of Manchester’s “finest” sushi spots, serving Nigiri, Temaki, Maki, California rolls and Sashimi, with other Japanese dishes such as Teppanyaki, noodles, and chicken rolls available to order. Sapporo Teppanyaki, 91-93 Liverpool Rd, Manchester, M3 4JN."

"Set in the heart of Manchester's Chinatown, Teppanyaki is the place to go for the ultimate food-theatre experience. Authentic Japanese food is cooked right before your eyes, allowing you to learn all about the Teppanyaki cooking culture. Often restaurants of this style can appear overcrowded and somewhat gimmicky, but not Teppanyaki Chinatown."

"This cosy café on Edge Street in the Northern Quarter is known for its snug interior, quirky detailing and incredible-looking cakes. If you’re looking for sweet treats to photograph, you’ll find it hard to select just one cake from their selection, so it’s a good idea to bring a couple of friends with you. And don’t get too stuck into photographing the food that you forget to capture all of the eclectic details, such as their neon pink signs."
