MUSU, widely considered to be one of Manchester’s top restaurants, has launched a new scheme that will give customers a whopping 30% discount this March.
The luxury city centre Japanese restaurant has announced details of a new free-to-join rewards programme, which will give members exclusive access to discounts and offers.
MUSU’s exclusive rewards programme will give anyone who signs up (and places are limited) a special 30% off to use in March, on any of MUSU’s exceptional menus.
This includes the full Land of the Rising Sun tasting menu, which takes diners on a journey through four Japanese cooking styles available in five, eight or 12 courses and starts at just £35 with the March code.
And that 30% discount is applicable to MUSU’s acclaimed Omakase experience, where just six diners sit at the chef’s table.
Omakase translates to ‘I’ll leave it up to you’, and the chef in front of you will be entirely in control of what you eat, talking you through every fish and ingredient as it’s expertly turned into your dinner.
Then from April, the rewards will include 30% off food bills when dining at lunch, and 10% off food bills for evening sittings.
There’s even a 10% discount on private hire and private dining, with private meals taking place in a subtly closed-off dining area that’s proved popular with celebrities and Japanese food fanatics alike.
If you sign up for the rewards programme, you’ll also have early access to the restaurant’s special events, like its viral live tuna cutting experience.
This event is an homage to the historic sushi parlours in Japan and guests have been able to witness the traditional carving of a huge Bluefin Tuna – not something you see every day.

MUSU has also hosted events with other partners, like the House of Suntory, with specialist menus, cocktails and a total sensory immersion experience unlike anything seen in the UK before.
Rewards programme members will even be given a complimentary drink on their birthday.
And there’s even a monthly prize draw to win a 12-course Land Of The Rising Sun experience with wine pairings.
Within mere months of opening, MUSU had received rave reviews, including glowing praise from national critic Grace Dent, marking itself as one of the city’s most exciting openings.
MUSU’s Rewards Programme is now taking sign-ups, however spaces are limited. Sign-up at the link here to gain access.
Aspiring artists can get their work displayed on one of the biggest digital screens in Manchester
Danny Jones
Are you a budding artist looking to get your work seen or know some who is? Well, you might want to pay attention because there’s an opportunity to have your creation seen by countless passers-by and on one of the biggest displays in the entire UK over at the Printworks.
If you’ve passed through the much-loved hospitality and leisure complex over the past year or so, you’ll have noticed their roof is now no longer a roof at all, really; the striking ceiling is now a constantly moving image and the largest of its kind in all of Europe.
Meaning that anyone who got their artworks on there would effectively be securing one of the biggest displays and public installations on the continent.
As Printworks themselves put it: “This isn’t just a screen; it’s an artistic stage viewed by millions of visitors every year, with the power to turn a single artwork into a 360-degree sensory experience.”
With that in mind, they’re giving one lucky individual the chance to grab the spotlight and see their creative expression plastered on the 1,000m² wraparound LED canvas.
“Supporting emerging talent and seeing fresh, creative perspectives is always inspiring, and I can’t wait to see what these young artists bring to the table! It was so surreal seeing my artwork on the digital.”
Past installations have included the ‘Spaces Up-Above’ exhibition by world-renowned light artist, Rupert Newman, as well as an International Women’s Day showcase by Heitzman herself, as a fellow Manchester-based creative.
In case you need a better idea of the sheer scale of this screen and why this is such an exciting opportunity for up-and-coming local artists, here’s how they celebrated Oasis returning to Manchester for their Heaton Park reunion gigs this week:
Synchronised with sound and added motion effects, the competition is now open to students who are currently enrolled in college, university or art school.
Better still, you don’t even have to be from or based in the area to take part – this is a nationwide competition hoping to spotlight the best talents in the UK.
All you have to do to enter this exciting competition in Manchester is simply provide Printworks your details and upload your artwork of choice HERE by Sunday, 3 August.
Nostalgic ready-to-drink Breezer makes UK return after a decade
Daisy Jackson
An iconic ready-to-drink favourite has launched back into the UK – oh yes, Breezer is back.
First launched in the 1990s, Breezers – then pitched as an ‘alcopop’ – were a staple on dancefloors and at barbecues right across the UK.
And now Bacardi has decided to bring these delicious, fruity, easy-drinking bottles back to British shores.
There are three new flavours to try as Breezers return to your fridges – Zesty Orange, Zingy Lime, and Crisp Watermelon.
And Breezer launched back into Manchester last night with a suitably memorable party, turning a spot in the Northern Quarter into a corner shop.
The ‘local Cornerbop’ was stacked with your usual essentials, plus shelf after shelf of these colourful glass ready-to-drink bottles.

The Breezer relaunch party saw Tarsza and Rennie Peters spinning nostalgic anthems with a modern twist at a pop-up party in a corner shop.
Steve Young, business unit director for Bacardi in the UK & Ireland, said: “We know there is a lot of love for Breezer in the UK, and we are confident a new generation of consumers will fall in love with the new Breezer.
“RTDs are booming, however, the Flavoured Alcoholic Beverages category could do with a bit more excitement. By bringing back Breezer we’re definitely putting the fruity taste into FAB.”
The iconic ready-to-drink classic is back – and better than ever.
