Harajuku kitchen is amazing
I have been to Katsu Coffee. As a Japan lover who have visited Japan for so many times, I can say the pork curry and beef burger of Katsu are very excellent and even better than many restaurants in Japan.
Could I ask what Lipstick you're wearing? It's beautiful! Also, thank you so much for the kawaneko suggestion. I didn't even know this place existed!
Yamato on Lochrin Terrace, definitely one of the best in town! It’s on the more expensive side but great for special occasions or just treating yourself. Great otoro nigiri!
I think I remember going once, it was definitely a nice experience! But as you say, quite a high price point .)
The place where you finished the video is so far my favourite ramen place, Hakataya. I know the owners and they are japanese, so far the closest ramen I've had to the ones in Japan. Try the Yokohama ramen, delicious!
I’m kicking myself for not fighting for this place to be a part of the video, because it would absolutely be my choice for ramen as well! But to keep things fair I didn’t want to veto anyone’s input - should have mentioned it though! And I genuinely believe I was planning to, but my brain just… decided not to .( great place!
@@Kakibot aye! Seeing you there to finish the video I was hoping that you would give it a shout-out but didn't in the end, and I found it funny 😂
Maybe in another video you can haha
Not a fan of the kenji groups restaurants, their sushi rice has not been fresh the last few times I've been. I know you can't mention them all, but Chizuru Tei at Haymarket is my favourite. It's not gimicky, or trendy looking, everything is simple but done very well. Their sushi is fresh and portions are generous, also their tenpura is light and beautiful.
Interesting - I think that has only happened to me once, and it was definitely noticeable. Other times I really enjoyed the rice! Sorry you had a bad experience .(
Will try out Chizuru Tei soon!
this!! I ordered the toro sushi and the rice was definitely not fresh.. but everything else was good especially their hot stone bowl dishes
Kudos on your pronunciation of karaage. While I probably won't hit up any of these while visiting as there are so many native foods to try, it's good to know they are there just in case the washoku cravings get out of control. Based on the menus, Kawaneko appears to be the most traditional, with Umi being the furthest out on the fusion spectrum. Thanks for the info.
Another great video, thank you :)
My friend and I loved Maki and Ramen! It was sooo good! Honestly one of the best ramen I’ve tried and I’ve tried a lot lol
That curry in Kawaneko was rediculously good. Where else would you all recommend? What other themed episodes would you like us to make? Any regional preferences? :)
Thanks Simon. French restaurants maybe. Especially the lunchtime specials to make it even more specific.
Best Italian restaurants. Still the finest cuisine in the world.
Love your restaurant reviews. So great!
Glad you like them!
Thank you so much. Keeping these in mind for future trip. Loved Maki Ramen on our last visit. I’m always so impressed by the vegan options in Edinburgh. Wish I could say the same for Toronto’s Japanese food scene.
❤thanks for sharing very cool 😊
Well that was a big yum!
This video comes in such a good moment for me!! I’m taking my mom and sister in Edinburgh this Sunday 🥳 and my sister loves Japanese Food so we will sure try one of your favorite places😍
Thank you so much for your tips, always on point 😎💕
Glad to hear that! We are really spoilt for choice here, but I hope you get to visit one of these and end up having a fantastic time!!
Very nice video ! 👏🏼
Thank you for another fantastic video. Suggestion for another: what to do with a teenager in Edinburgh.
thank you! Will check these places out in due time. I’m also interested in where to find kabocha!
As I stayed in Edinburgh for about a year, there were not so many Japanese food restaurants in the city. However, I went to a ramen shop called Tanpopo where a Japanese owner/chef from Kagoshima,Japan and his wife is Scottish sometimes. cheers
I miss Tampopo, used to be on Thistle Street, amazing bentos
@@simonmountney I loved its curry ramen noodles. so glad somebody knew about the shop. What happened to the Tampopo ramen shop? cheers
@@JP_world_traveller Regrettably it closed about a decade ago. It was ahead of it's time
@@simonmountney oh dear sad . the shop opened in 1996 so the timing was not so good as many were not keen on Japanese food /culture at the time. cheers
Wow😊
It's not up town at all but if you're ever in the Gyle the Japanese place in the food court is... well, probably not as good as the ones mentioned in this video but shockingly good givem the price and location.
Another awesome informative video topic. Do you have a Suggestion or recommendation for a “first timer” to Japanese food? I’d love to try when I visit again.
For the first time to try Japanese food in Edinburgh, I personally would recommend Kawaneko mentioned in this video. They are lovely people, who make such a tasty food 😊
Would recommend Kanpai in edinburgh as well. Best one for me
I was pleasantly surprised about how many dishes at Umi are gluten free. Would you be willing to do a video for travellers with food allergies (like gluten-free, vegan, etc.)?
I've covered both of these themes!
Vegan food: ua-cam.com/video/8QcU61LlSlY/v-deo.html
Gluten Free food: ua-cam.com/video/KlRvmfuP9P8/v-deo.html
The second video is a bit older but most of the spots are still open!
I was going to ask if you had any opinions on Korean Food? I was going to ask if you had ever been to Silla near Kelvingrove, but according to Google Maps there more than a few Korean resturaunts around Glasgow. Silla is the only one I've know about for years since I was once told a rumour that that's where the DPRK diplomats go whenever they feel homesick.
Why was the outro outside the excellent Hakataya but no mention of it?
Hi Richard! It's a lovely restaurant, but I got to pick my fave ramen option and went with the one I'm most nostalgic about :)
Thought exactly the same thing. Hakataya is superior to Maki & Ramen in my opinion (personal preference). To anyone reading this, give Hakataya a go if you're in Edinburgh :)
I never tired Japanese mostly Chinese massive difference
Are there any Korean restaurants?
