Hidden Gem Sushi Spot | Kanpai - Where Good Food Heals All đŁâ¨
đŻ The unassuming entrance hides in an alley behind the castle - I'd probably walk right past without realizing it's a restaurant if not for Google Maps! Yet it's always packed to the brim - the aroma definitely travels far. Make reservations, especially for Friday/Saturday! âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸ Nigiri Sushi The sea bream and yellowtail sashimi are incredibly fresh - reportedly shipped directly from Japan! đ The tuna melts in your mouth (though the salmon is locally sourced from Scotland). âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸ Seared Tuna Belly Paired with yuzu sauce and a perfectly torched crispy salt crust while remaining tender inside. Fire-kissed perfection! đĽ âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸ Miso Grilled Eggplant A surprise star dish - nearly every table orders it! Learned they fry then grill it, creating this sweet, deeply umami flavor with a hint of charred miso. Even veggie-haters will love this - MUST ORDER! đđ âď¸ Extensive sake selection (though I'm no expert here). Personally loved the plum wine cocktail "Cal Fizz" đ¸ The minimalist decor shows thoughtful touches everywhere - perfect for dates or friend gatherings. #JapaneseCuisine #SushiLover #HiddenRestaurant #EdinburghFood #EdinburghEats
