      Sake Bar Ikkon is a Sake pairing bar, owned and curated by certified sake sommelier Ayaka Ito. Focused on creating an experience built around small plates, hand picked sake, and the unique flavors they create together.
      Ito has built every experience around three elements in harmony: sake, food, and glassware. Change the glass, and the same sake tastes different. Add the right dish, and something unexpected comes alive. Get all three right, and the result is something you can’t quite explain, but will never forget.
      In collaboration with Marie Chiba, owner of EUREKA! Tokyo’s legendary sake bar, Chef Ryan Miller has created a menu where sake, food, and glassware are chosen with that magic in mind. We can't wait to welcome you for this unique experience!

      Highly recommend Godfathers Italian Restaurant. The moment you walk in you are greeted with friendly staff. You feel like you are back in the era of Frank Sinatra with the music playing brought back some wonderful memories. The service from bartender to the waiters very friendly. Food was outstanding I will definitely return again.

      Great spot for a business lunch. It is hard to find similar restaurants in UTC. Seafood enchiladas were excellent.
