Platt Park

About the restaurant

Kizaki is Chef Toshi Kizaki’s long-awaited solo Omakase, representing the pinnacle of his career and decades of influence in Denver’s culinary scene. After more than 40 years with Sushi Den, Chef Toshi returns to his roots with deep reverence for Edomae-style sushi, a 200-year-old Tokyo tradition that highlights each ingredient through precise Japanese techniques.
Kizaki offers Denver’s first authentic Edomae omakase, featuring approximately 20 courses including raw, cured, seared, cooked, and dry-aged preparations. Guests may also enjoy a full bar with thoughtfully selected sake, wine, or curated pairings.
The Omakase experience at the COUNTER or TABLE is $250 per guest, plus service fee and tax. The service fee applies to the Omakase only; additional sushi, beverages, and gratuity are not included. Seating times are 5:00 PM and 8:00 PM, and the experience begins promptly once all guests have arrived. Please review allergies and dietary restrictions prior to booking.

What an awesome experience in every way! We celebrated our anniversary with the 16 course omakase and it was indulgent and wonderful. Every course was made beautifully and tasted spectacular. Beautiful interior and great, personable service. 10 out of 10!

This is a real gem of a sushi establishment. The menu was diverse, the taste and freshness was amazing and the costs were a bit more modest than the upscale restaurants. We sat outside this lovely little place and will be back many times for certain.

Hapa Sushi Grill & Sake Bar - Cherry Creek

Sushi

Cherry Creek

About the restaurant

The name Hapa is derived from the Hawaiian term that describes a harmonious blend of Asian and American cultures. Like our name, our food reflects this dynamic combination. The menu is based on traditional Japanese cooking fundamentals which are then amplified, muted, or mixed with influences from many different styles of cooking until they are something completely new: they're Hapa. We have stretched the boundaries of creativity to develop dishes that defy all the rules while holding true to our roots. We hope you will find our menu innovative, uninhibited, and distinctly fun! Incomplete parties will not be sat until complete.

Always a wonderful experience and meal! I had the Sushi Omakase….again! It’s that good. Added the P38 (?) roll-yum! My husband had the Brussels sprouts (so delicious) and skirt steak. He’s British, so not effusive, but he did say it was “quite nice”! Also, cocktails were wonderful!
