Peggi Ince-Whiting now at Kyoto Japanese restaurant
Kyoto Japanese Restaurant* – With several months of settling in time now under her belt, chef Peggi Ince-Whiting is hosting the first ever Sake Dinner at Kyoto on Thursday, November 12, 2015 at 6:30 p.m. Served at a special communal “chef’s table,” Peggi will feature a range of sake styles with a menu quite unlike anything seen at the traditional restaurant before. The full menu is as follows:
* Seared hamachi with live scallop sashimi – slightly seared yellowtail sashimi drizzled with wasabi oil and soy sauce with thinly sliced scallops flown in direct from the East coast served with lemon and ponzu vinaigrette
* Hakushika Tanuki Junmai Sake
* Chawan mushi – steamed savory custard with shiitake mushrooms and Oregon bay shrimps
* Ozeki Karatamba Honjozo Sake
* Turkey chipotle shumai – fresh ground turkey breast steamed with smoky chipotle peppers in bite sized wonton skins
* Momokawa Pearl Nigori Sake
* Miso marinated top sirloin – thinly sliced top sirloin steak marinated overnight in sweetened miso marinade then grilled
* Hakutsuru Daiginjo Sake
* Shiso mint chicken – chicken breast wrapped in Japanese mint leaves with pickled plum paste and tempura fried to crispy perfection served with tempura vegetables
* Hakutsuru Daiginjo Sake
* Yuzu cake – citrus cake rolled with vanilla cream
The cost for the food is an absurdly low $35 with optional sake pairings priced at $55. Space is very limited so reservations are a must and can be made by calling 801-487-3525.

Hi, I’m Stuart, nice to meet you! I’m the founder, writer and wrangler at Gastronomic SLC. I’m a multiple-award winning journalist and have written in myopic detail about the Salt Lake City dining scene for the better part of seventeen years.
I’ve worked extensively with multiple local publications from Visit Salt Lake to Salt Lake Magazine, not least helped to consult on national TV. Pause those credits, yep, that’s me! I’m also a former restaurant critic of more than five years, working for the Salt Lake Tribune. I’m largely fueled by a critical obsession with rice, alliteration and the use of big words I don’t understand. What they’re saying about me: “Not inaccurate”, “I thought he was older”, “I don’t share his feelings”.
