What they say:

A funky, floral fusion of juicy Japanese and tasty Taiwanese swills and fare, Finnieston's newest Asian resident Pickled Ginger is adding spice to Glasgow's streets, showcasing sumptuous sushi, chilled sake and all the scrummy seafood in-between. Focusing on a happening, health twist accompanied by a retro kick, here you'll be munching down green-tea-infused KitKats washed down with 1980s-born Taiwanese bubble tea.

What we say:

A very rare sighting indeed, Pickled Ginger is a unique and exciting spin on Far East culture, coupling Japan's genius, ever-popular sushi chow with Taiwan's brilliant bubble tea. Booze-wise, we're sure you've heard of Scotch and American whiskey before, but Japanese? Choose between a selection of sake and Eastern-inspired cocktails or sample some Japanese smoky Suntory or oaky Nikka whiskey whilst catching an old-school black and white movie on the projector.
