"This traditional Japanese restaurant is headed by James Beard semifinalist chef Peggy Ince-Whiting, who trained with sushi master Inou at Hama Sushi in Tokyo before working in Salt Lake for over 30 years. The owner, Sam Tada, grew up in Kyoto and moved to the U.S. at 23. He opened the restaurant, alongside partner and wife Yoshiko Yamasaki, with the hopes of recreating a small piece of home. Guests come for ebi tempura, agedashi tofu, and extensive sushi bar offerings, and to relax in the cleanly designed space, with hanging lanterns and booths partitioned by screens." - Sarah Entwistle
