Top Best Japanese Restaurants in Cawood

"Not only is Issho one of the finest restaurants in the city, it’s also home to one of the best rooftop terraces – and it’s perfect during the colder months. The 700-square-foot, south-facing terrace at the top of Victoria Gate comes complete with cosy sofas, luxurious throws and warming heat-lamps at every table. While you’re there, you can enjoy seasonal cocktails from the bar, which will pair perfectly with their tempting Japanese small plates like prawn gyoza, katsu chicken bao buns and salmon sashimi."

"The south-facing roof terrace at Issho is the perfect setting to enjoy dinner and drinks. They’ve created a cosy hideaway, complete with heaters, an awning that covers the entire terrace when needed and sensational views, where you can enjoy the very best in Japanese cuisine, outdoors. Their a la carte menu is designed for sharing, so you can try a bit of everything – start with katsu chicken baos, before you move onto spicy tuna rolls, seabass nigiri and miso lamb cutlets."

"Nestled at the top of Victoria Leeds, Issho is a high-end Japanese restaurant and bar with a breathtaking roof terrace. It’s south-facing and comes decked out in cosy sofas covered surrounded by leafy shrubbery. Enormous parasols stretch out above you, with heat lamps to see off the evening chill."

"I have no idea why because it’s always been there, I love Japanese food and it’s not like it’s out of the way. But for some strange reason, I’m yet to visit. However, I’m including it because they do serve sushi and I promise that I’m going to visit soon, in the name of blog research of course."

"Teppanyaki combines theatre with Japanese food to create a truly unique Leeds restaurant. Sit round the hot plate, where your chef will juggle, joke and use fire to dazzle you, while you feast on a selection of sushi, seafood and fresh meat plates."

"Shiitakeya are a small Japanese restaurant on Walmgate that also do takeaway. They have a lunchtime special from Monday-Friday, and otherwise serve dishes like Buta Shogayaki (sliced pork loin in sweet ginger sauce with rice, salad and miso soup on the side) or Chicken Teryaki Don (pan fried chicken glazed in soy sauce, mirin and sugar rice bowl with salad and miso soup on the side)."
