(512 St Vincent Street, G3 8XZ, 0141 328 8941)
This restaurant may seem unobtrusive from the outside, but once you are inside, the food will blow you away.
Its namesake, the pickled ginger, is, of course, fantastic, as is the selection of nigri and the dragon roll.
The restaurant is very popular with local residents, and always has a buzz about it.
The menu is also very helpful for first-time sushi-eaters, as it educates customers in sushi etiquette.
The sake is served in dinky egg-cup sized vessels, and the desserts are well worth a taste, in particular the chocolate mochi.

This family-run restaurant doesn't just stop at Japanese-style sushi. The Wu sisters also pride themselves on their Chinese and Thai dishes, and not without reason.

Why not try the Honey Floss – chicken and salad in a honey, lemon and mustard mayonnaise, rolled in pork floss?

This restaurant has been on the go for 15 years in Manchester, Liverpool and Glasgow.
Each year, Sapporo's expert chefs return home to South East Asia to be inspired by the cuisine and ingredients, then return to the UK to implement their ideas.
The chefs are trained for over five years to ensure that customers have the best possible theatrical experience. The city selection provides a nod to the restaurant's home cities, with the Liverpool, Manchester and Glasgow Rolls.

Picture: Nanakusa
This restaurant's name comes from the word for the “seven edible wild herbs of spring”, which are traditionally eaten seven days after the start of the new year.
They are believed to ward off evil spirits, and while Nanakusa doesn't claim to do this, they do offer some fantastic Japanese dishes. Combining locally sourced and authentically Japanese ingredients, the sushi, noodle and rice dishes at Nanakusa are very special.
This includes the Negi Maguro Don, which is made with steamed rice, fresh raw tuna, chilli oil, soy sauce, seaweed and spring onion.

Temaki is like no other sushi restaurant, because it combines the food of Japan with dishes from Mexico! The sushi burrito is their signature dish, and is made to the customer's specifications: hot, cold, sweet, savoury, meat, veg and so on. Their inspiration comes from street food, which the chefs prepare before the your eyes. You can also try their delectable ramens and and broths for a more traditional taste of Japan.

Although it's a small sushi bar, the food here is mighty. The dragon roll is particularly spectacular, which very much resembles a dragon in its shape.
The menu has unlimited potential for mixing and matching, with rice burgers, ramen and bento boxes, but the sushi and sashimi are really the main event.
The sashimi is presented on a platter shaped like an ornamental bridge, making the meal extra special.
