Marg and I had been shopping in Liverpool, and had come across "Not Sushi". Marg doesn't like "that sort of thing", but I'd scoured the menu and found several things she could try, so we agreed that next we were in town, and ready for a meal, we'd try it.

Wed. 3rd November 1999

We were in town again, shopping, and turned up at Not Sushi just before 2:00 pm. Marg had Chicken Yakitori - 3 strips of chicken marinaded in Yakitori sauce, served with a little pickled pink ginger and Soy sauce.

I had half and half of Californian Maki Roll and Kappa Sake Maki Roll, and a side order of Yasai Gyoza.

A coke for Marg and a half pint of Kirin lager for me completed the meal, which is a little more than a snack. Marg enjoyed the chicken, and tried some of my Gyoza dipped in the red chilli sauce - this she enjoyed as well.

I really enjoyed all that I had, but was somewhat disappointed by the amount of salmon in the sushi - tiny, and by the Tuna, which may as well have been a dollop of Tuna Mayonnaise - still very good and very tasty, but not quite what I'd hoped for - maybe I really should have tried the Sashimi as well!!

At £14.80 including the drinks, I was quite happy. As we were quite late in arriving, there was just one other couple - who were just about to leave - in the place, so I couldn't comment on the ambience. Why is it that Marg and I always seem to be out of synch with the rest of the world???

Verdict: Recommended for informal, inexpensive snacks with a difference.
