Ginza, in Mansfield Road, Sherwood, will close this Saturday (July 27) having served thousands of customers over its three decades in business. 

With an average four-star rating on TripAdvisor, Ginza is ranked as one of Nottingham’s top Japanese restaurants. 

Famous for its Teppan-Yaki style, diners at Ginza would have their food cooked by chefs on the table in-front of them. 

In a Facebook post the restaurant said: “There is no easy way to say goodbye. But Thank YOU….

“First of all, thank you to the family and staff who have been with us, from the past to the present, to the ones who joined us briefly.

“Thank you to those who have been through the highs and lows, we couldn’t have done it without you, you guys are the backbone. 

“We will treasure the memories made with the family and staff where we have spent more time together than at home, we will miss all the tears and laughter, the endless stories.

“Through the endless recessions, the government making it harder for small businesses and of course the kicker, the lockdown, thank you for the endless support.

“We will miss our regulars and educating the new customers, but most importantly watching you all grow over the years, witnessing generations come and go, bringing your precious moments to GINZA and sharing them with us, the good and the bad. 

“We wish everyone continued success and hope to cross paths in the future.

“Over 32 years in Sherwood, thank you. You may or may not have known that we will be closing the doors this Saturday.

“Once again, a sincere thank you everyone. Saying goodbye isn't easy, but thank you for everything!”
