ASHEVILLE - Ukiah Japanese Smokehouse is coming together at 121 Biltmore Ave., the former Futo Buta Ramen space near the Orange Peel. The restaurant is slated to open in summer.
Ukiah s ownership described the forthcoming menu as inspired by the simplicity of Japanese soul food, with influences from American barbecue.
Ramen will reappear on that corner for the first time since Futo Buta closed, along with house-made gyozas and lighter vegetable dishes. There will be a raw bar and, on the other end of the spectrum, an array of smoked meat, such as pork belly served with a Fuji apple glaze and apple chow chow.

As Asheville demolishes Vance Monument, lawyers quickly make Appeals Court arguments Joel Burgess, Asheville Citizen Times
ASHEVILLE - The long-anticipated demolition of a Confederate governor marker took a pause this week as workers puzzled over safety issues but the legal battle continued as lawyers hurriedly filed arguments with the North Carolina Court of Appeals as to whether deconstruction could continue.
In the latest round, the city on May 20 filed an answer to a historical preservation group seeking to stop the Vance Monument demolition. The group, the Society for the Historical Preservation of the 26th North Carolina Troops, made a motion with the state s second-highest court May 19 saying the removal should wait until a N.C. Supreme Court decision on a similar case.
