Satoru is a Japanese restaurant on St Patrick Square in Edinburgh's Newington district. Its casual dining room serves lunch and dinner, with a focused menu built around comforting rice and noodle dishes alongside smaller plates for sharing.
Donburi is a central part of the offering, with choices including katsudon, gyudon topped with onsen tamago and oyakodon. Japanese curries provide another hearty route through the menu, including chicken katsu curry with the crisp cutlet set against a deeply savoury sauce.
Udon noodles broaden the main course selection, while tempura can include prawns, eel and soft shell crab. Age gyoza, miso soup and edamame work well as starters or additions to the table, allowing diners to assemble either a quick individual meal or a more varied spread.
The restaurant's bring your own bottle policy offers flexibility with drinks, and outdoor and private seating can suit different occasions when available. Whether visiting for a warming bowl, a rice dish or several Japanese sides, the emphasis is on familiar flavours in an easygoing neighbourhood setting.
