Experience the some of the best Sushi and Ethnic dishes here at Aoba in Denver, CO, All carefully hand-made by our Master Sushi Chefs Ken and Mike. History and Background One day, thirteen years ago, after 10 years as a Sushi Chef in Tokyo, I wondered, how and in what fashion the traditional Japanese Sushi culture can be presented to the diverse, multi-cultured Americans? With this curiosity, I traveled to New York in 1999 and worked as a Sushi Chef in New York for over 11 years. In 2010, I came to Denver to visit friends, and fell in love with this city immediately. I started to think of relocating to Denver after visiting the Sushi bars around town and studying the life of a Sushi Chef in Denver. Surprisingly, I found that people here appreciate sushi very much, and this finding made me very happy, because this is something my team can provide. My best friend, Chef Mike (Masatoshi Nakanishi) and I gathered our professional team to establish Aoba Sushi, a unique and stylish sushi restaurant, in the heart of Denver. Our restaurant is based on the traditional spirit of cleaving the original taste (mo chi a ji), and the originality of multicultural tastes (a so bi gokoro). Denver, here we are! We will bring you some of the most unique sushi experiences from Tokyo and the US. East Coast. See you at the sushi bar! Reservations Preferred: (720) 242-7002

Our mission at Sushi Ronin is to create an intimate community experience that engages, educates and delights. With over a decade in the profession of traditional Japanese cuisine, Executive Chef Corey Baker brings the Omakase forward style of preparation juxtaposed with unexpected and innovative flavor profiles from around the world. The seasonal menu blurs the line between modern and classic delicacy. Dishes are plated in an entrancingly beautiful fashion and enjoyed in a manner that will excite all five senses. Not to be outdone, the Ronin Bar will offer curated Japanese whiskey, sake and a local spirits list to complement the menu. “Omakase dining is a momentous interaction of trust and conviviality that a chef has the privilege of creating. I have devoted my craft as a chef to deliver truly unique experiences one meal at a time. Sushi Ronin is about removing the rigidity of traditional Omakase and providing that exclusive experience for every customer.” - Chef Corey Omakase Shimasu translates roughly to, "I Trust You" pertaining to the Chef. It is similar to a tasting menu, but much deeper. It means the chef places what courses come out to the Chefs judgement, based on what is fresh and great on that specific day, along with the connection and rapport with the eaters preferences and profiles of food. At Sushi Ronin the Chefs will express this method to every diner possible by reading reactions and gaining relationships through adjusting to courses based on immediate feedback and reactions to the food. This is the experience of Omakase in a smaller more intimate setting, executed by skilled chefs. One of our main goals through Sushi Ronin, will be to make and sustain a connecting bond with not only the surrounding community of the Lohi/Highlands neighborhood, but with Denver and the Great State of Colorado. We will strive to set a positive example through education with food and service by our actions and support within organizations of our rapidly growing community and State.

is a small plaza located on the north/east side of the intersection of 19th Street and Larimer Street in Denver, Colorado. The square contains busts of Ralph L. Carr, Governor of Colorado from 1939 to 1943, Minoru Yasui, a Japanese-American lawyer, and Yoshitaka Tamai (1900–1983), a Buddhist priest who lived in Denver. Sakura Square also has a small Japanese garden, and it serves as the entrance to the 20-story Tamai Tower apartment building that occupies most of the block. There are several shops and restaurants in the ground and first floors of the apartment building.Bust of Governor CarrDenver's Japanese-American community installed the bust of former Governor Carr as a tribute to his support of Japanese-Americans during the period of their internment. Colorado Governor Ralph Lawrence Carr was the only elected official in the United States to publicly apologize to the Japanese Americans for their internment, which many argue cost him the 1942 election to the U.S. Senate, but won him the gratitude of the community, and Japanese Americans everywhere.The Annual Cherry Blossom FestivalDenver's annual Cherry Blossom Festival takes place in late June in and around Sakura Square and the Tri-State/Denver Buddhist Temple. During the celebration, many traditional Japanese practices are celebrated, such as the Japanese tea ceremony and ikebana (flower arrangement). During the festival, many food stands offering Japanese cuisine line the street, along with various vendor booths, community information tables, and a live music stage. In the evening, a traditional bon odori dance is held on the street, with many participants dressing in yukata or other traditional Japanese attire.

Back in 1976, a few buddies opened a pizza restaurant in Boulder, Colorado. From the start they agreed on a few basic principles: serve up delicious, handmade pizza, have the best lineup of cold beers in town and treat everyone who walks through the door like family. More than three decades later, we sport a fresh new look, a new menu and lots of new faces, but Old Chicago is still committed to being the best place to share a world-class pie and great craft beer. Whether you show up for a light lunch, a first date or a little league championship celebration, you can always count on gathering around and sharing big smiles, good times, great beer and made-from-scratch food. It's all about hard work, an honest approach and a commitment to quality in everything we do. Good enough isn't good enough for us, and it sure isn't good enough for you.
