The owners of a Japanese restaurant in Derby, which earlier this year was named as a top 100 eatery by the Good Food Guide, have finally been presented with their Marketing Derby<\/a> Food and Drink Award.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

At the awards ceremony, which took place at The Chocolate Factory, in early October, Ebi Sushi won the Outstanding Achievement Award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, due to work commitments on the night, no-one from the Abbey Street restaurant was available to collect the award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, Christopher Tebbs, inward investment executive at Marketing Derby and Food and Drink Awards lead, accompanied by managing director John Forkin and Yuji Tomobuchi, from Toyota Manufacturing UK<\/a>, recently decided to pay the restaurant a visit to deliver Ebi Sushi\u2019s award in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many years now, the restaurant has been serving authentic Japanese cuisine, lovingly crafted by its Japanese chefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Often described as one of Derby\u2019s \u201chidden gems\u201d, this year the restaurant was mentioned in the Good Food Guide’s 100 Best Local Restaurants across Britain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The guide’s anonymous inspectors up and down the country put the restaurants mentioned in 60,000 nominations to the test before announcing the 100 spots that made the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ebi Sushi was one of just two Derbyshire restaurants to make the top 100.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The unassuming restaurant serves a variety of small plates, authentic sushi and sashimi \u2013 and is often frequented by the city’s Japanese community based around Toyota.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, the team at Ebi Sushi have another accolade to add to their name \u2013 after being presented with their Marketing Derby Food and Drink Awards trophy, a specially commissioned plate made by Royal Crown Derby<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designed to shine a light on Derby\u2019s brilliant food and drink businesses, the awards aim to recognise and celebrate the very best places to eat and drink across the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, more than 5,000 nominations were received \u2013 with 12 awards handed out on the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christopher said: \u201cIt was an absolute pleasure to visit Ebi Sushi and present them with their award in person \u2013 and sample some of their delicious food at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
