A quarter of a century ago, in the nineties, Ireland was far from being a multicultural society and ‘ethnic’ in restaurant terms almost always meant a Chinese. It is a completely different story today, we have a bewildering choice of world cuisines, including many far better Asian offerings than before. One cuisine that was slow to establish was Japanese, initially the arrival of Wagamama caused some excitement in Dublin back in 1998, and, although sushi bars are now popular both here and in the capital, the idea of dining out on almost exclusively cold food remains strange to many Irish people.

RAW – sushi in the sky at the Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa, Galway, has reopened after a brief closure over the summer. Perched on the fourth floor of the hotel, overlooking Lough Atalia, RAW has become a favourite in the city, serving locally caught fish in a series of authentic sushi and sashimi dishes. Master craftsman and Japanese native Hisashi Kumagai has created a much-loved spot for fans of Japanese food in Galway.
