Gourmet Dog Japon Owner to Open Iki Sushi Bar on Capitol Hill

Great news, Gourmet Dog Japon fans: owner Shinsuke Nikaido is branching out to open a sushi and cocktail bar on Capitol Hill early next year, Capitol Hill Seattle reports. The new space at 918 E Pike (next to the Comet Tavern) is called Iki, which means "very stylish" in Japanese, Nikaido tells CHS. The owner is planning chic decor to follow suit, and expects the buildout to take until February. Stay tuned for further updates on menu and more as opening gets closer.
