Maybe it's the mastery of all things deep-fried, but Glasgow has a burgeoning love affair with Japanese cuisine. Our new section this year is dedicated to the scene, from tiny city centre joints dishing up swift bowls of katsu to ramen specialists diligently perfecting their broth and formal restaurants with extravagant sashimi platters that make the most of Scotland's world-class seafood. Here's our two favourites in Glasgow:

Pickled Ginger
This understatedly stylish venue serves an inventive range of Asian delicacies and an exceptional drinks menu.

Ramen Dayo
This well-priced, shabby-chic little shack on Ashton Lane specialises in serving soul-warming ramen alongside banging tunes and a tidy drinks menu.
