Yummy Tori, 92 Lothian Road Edinburgh outside

We came across Yummy Tori on twitter whilst looking for interesting and different places to visit in Edinburgh. Their twitter feed was friendly and helpful so we jumped in and booked a table for the weekend.

Arriving the place was jumping, it was a Saturday night after all but I was still surprised at how busy it was compared to other places we had passed by.

Whilst waiting on our table, we spied some huge glass jars of plums soaking, their own plum wine.  We didn’t get a chance to try this, but will certainly do next time, as well as their sake flights. (Saki taster 4 different sakes for £6!)
