Sushi Den

Denver has a longstanding love affair with sushi, thanks in large part to Sushi Den, the pristine house of Japanese seafood that brothers Yasu and Toshi Kizaki opened in 1984. As a testament to Sushi Den’s status, chefs at just about every other revered sushi restaurant in town have spent time working here. Rather than resting on reputation, though, Sushi Den stays at the top with its commitment to sourcing the freshest seafood available, often directly from the markets in Japan. Its private chef’s counter is one of the best dining experiences in town, and offers even more insight into what makes this spot special.
