One of Swansea's most popular Japanese restaurants has been so successful that its owner is now opening a second restaurant to keep up with demand. Nishimura, an independent sushi restaurant on Brynymor Road in Brynmill, is set to open a sister site on Mumbles Road in Mumbles later this summer.
Owner Frank Nishimura has confirmed the Brynmill restaurant will remain in operation but will be renamed RyuGin, which means "dragon shout," and will serve a slightly smaller menu; whilst the new "Nishimura" restaurant in Mumbles, which fills the unit previously occupied by The Village Inn Carvery, will serve the full Nishimura menu locals know and love.
Among the extensive Japanese menu, diners can expect nigiri (finger-shaped rice topped with various topping such as salmon, tuna or prawn), gunkan (oval shaped rolls of rice wrapped in seaweed and topped with things like spicy tuna, fish roe, salmon belly), sashimi (fresh raw fish or meat), futomaki (large seaweed rolls of rice filled with fish or vegetables), sushi platters, noodle dishes and bento boxes, as well as the new addition of "Japanese Style Afternoon Tea".
