A BRANCH of a sushi restaurant chain has applied to Reading Borough Council for permission to sell alcohol.
HWSI Limited, the owning company of Itsu, has applied to sell alcohol from its restaurant in Reading Gate Retail Park.
Itsu does not currently sell its own alcohol, but diners can enjoy a drink of Asahi Japanese lager at its restaurants.
Home diners ordering via Deliveroo, can order three wines in 250ml cans: Malbeck Mendoza Red, Languedoc Rose and Sauvignon Blanc.
HSWI wants to sell alcohol on and off premises at Reading Gate Retail Park from 10am to midnight Monday to Saturday and noon to 11.30pm on Sundays.
Itsu took over the site from Pizza Hut, which closed during the pandemic.
There is also an Itsu in Broad Street, which opened in 2015.
