Since it came up I thought I would share one of my favorite restaurants. This is one of those places you won't hear about unless you know someone who lives nearby or you are really into good food and so are your friends. It's in an out of the way place and they don't really advertise other then word of mouth nor do they need to.
You walk in the door and through the hanging drapes and are immediatly greeted by a server who wants to know if you are there for the sushi bar (single seating), a table, or a booth. The booths are private and made in imitation of the raised tatame dinning only with a hole under the table for those who don't want to sit on their knees. Be warned though, it is very busy. If you go on a weekend you had better all ahead. The place bustles. It makes for a very cozy atmosphere.
The food is incredible, especially when you take into account that all seafood has to be shipped in frozen since it is in the middle of a dessert. This restaurant was solely responsible for getting my husband to losen up about trying Japanese cuisine, something I have never thanked them properly for. This is also the place where I had my first good bowl of Miso Soup. Before them the only miso soup I had had before either tasted like mud or overcooked fishbroth. In Kyoto I discovered what Miso Soup could really taste like. Now, I make it at home but it still doesn't equal theirs.
So if you are ever passing through Salt Lake City Utah this is one of the two must try restaurants of my experience.
