Street food is continuing to grow in popularity throughout the globe for its convenience, efficiency and unique flavor profiles, and now a pan-Asian street food eatery in Glasgow is looking to embody the speed and convenience of its food by hosting an in-restaurant sushi speed dating session.
The event took place at Temaki - an Asian street food-inspired eatery that specializes in Japanese dishes. The speed dating session invited 24 men and women to "eat sushi, drink sake and find love" in a manner that nods toward the speed dating events commonly held throughout Japan. During the night, singles were invited to enjoy a street food-inspired sushi platter and signature cocktails produced by the restaurant's authentic Japanese chefs.
