πΊπΈ Work from Utah π£ Friends say itβs pricey
After taking friends to this Japanese spot, two of them decided theyβll just copy my order from now on. π Itβs the kind of meal youβre still looking at photos of the next day! π 18 W Market St, Salt Lake City π₯ Note: π Loved it π Liked it π Okay π Not for me Menu is digital only and not very clearly categorized β so hereβs my breakdown following their menu layout, hopefully helpful for anyone feeling indecisive! βΊοΈ π½ Signature Items π Kampachi Balsamic π Amberjack sashimi with yuzu vinegar and chili β light and appetizing. π Sake Tataki π Pepper-smoked salmon with green spicy sauce β full of flavor! π Spicy Mussels with Quail Egg π Mussels, avocado, and quail egg β fresh and unique. π£ Signature Rolls π£ Takashiβs Hakozushi (the Box) π Tuna, yellowtail, and salmon pressed into a βboxβ sushi β simple yet satisfying. π₯ The Summit π Rice-free sushi β cucumber wrapped around tuna, spicy crab, avocado, and flying fish roe. Great for low-carb cravings! π£ Tekka Maki π Salmon hand roll β tasty but not mind-blowing, fills you up though. π Sashimi π¦ Amaebi (Sweet Shrimp) π How is this not a signature dish?! Sweet, tender shrimp body + crispy fried head β two ways to enjoy! π Hitategai (Scallop) π Pretty standard. π Toro (Fatty Tuna) π Rich, buttery, thick yet not heavy β absolutely gorgeous. π Kampachi (Amberjack) π Compared to the signature version, the seasoning here felt a bit plain. πͺΈ Uni (Sea Urchin) π Not fishy at all β creamy, smooth, and rich. π± Sashimi Combo π Good for 2β3 people to share, but if youβre in a bigger group, go for more exciting single orders! π₯ Kitchen (Hot Dishes) π₯£ Matsutake Soup π Radish and mushroom soup with yuzu peel β not your typical miso flavor. π· Kuro Buta Pork Belly π Sake-marinated pork belly with Peruvian spicy sauce β a brilliant fusion! The fried lotus root and purple sweet potato mash were delicious too. π¬ Final thoughts: We reserved a big table ahead of time β no wait! Otherwise, thereβs a line right when they open. π Price is on the higher side, but π₯ thinks itβs worth it. Having tried Japanese food all over the world, I didnβt have high hopes for SLC β but this place was a wonderful surprise! π 4 years of working remotely β next stop: still Salt Lake City! #SaltLakeCityFood #UtahFood #SLCJapanese #SLCAsianCuisine #WorkFromAnywhere
