Kizaki

Tracked on 3 lists across 3 authorities.

1551 S Pearl St, Denver, CO 80210, USA Website ↗ Japanese / omakase

Going back more than four decades, Chef Toshi Kizaki has been a veritable trailblazer of Denver’s sushi scene, but even now in his seventies, he’s not content to rest on his laurels. In a culmination of his long career, he now raises the stakes with this luxurious counter, bringing a new echelon of omakase to the Mile High City. Blending traditional edomae techniques and creative modern flourishes, the extensive menu alternates between small dishes like gorgeously marbled black-and-white sesame tofu and nigiri carefully crafted by Chef Kizaki himself. Exceptional ingredient quality is a given from start to finish, spanning a treasure trove of oceanic delicacies, from buttery, lightly seared black-throat sea perch to silvery, vinegar-accented gizzard shad.
