Ozora Izakaya Japanese Bar & Tapas (Downtown)

Ozora Izakaya Japanese Bar & Tapas sits at 65 E Broadway in downtown Salt Lake City, serving Japanese bar food the way izakayas intend it: small plates meant for sharing, sushi alongside, and drinks at the center of the table.

The tapas pacing suits groups grazing through the menu as much as a pair splitting rolls at the bar, and the beer and cocktail lists keep the table stocked between rounds. Outdoor seating opens the room up when the weather allows.

Service stays fast through lunch and dinner, with solo diners welcome at the bar. Wheelchair access covers the entrance, parking, restroom, and seating.

Curbside pickup, takeout, and delivery carry the menu home, and a second Ozora location on 2100 South brings the same concept to Sugar House on the other end of Salt Lake City.
