Kizaki β Denverβs Priciest & Service-Flawless Omakase Review π€©
Recommended drink: Nabeshima Sake β sparkling, refreshing, like champagne meets sake π₯β¨ π₯’ First Set Ichiban Dashi β tuna broth, incredibly rich! Little fish balls were super QQ Unyru Tofu β black sesame tofu, texture like chocolate mousse, subtly sweet Tataki Beltfish β meat slightly firm, but sauce was interesting Goma β jelly-like, hint of orange β surprise! π Colorado Corn Soup β made with Pearl Street farmers market corn β ridiculously good π½ Negitoro Caviar Temaki β sweet fish, fragrant rice, nori was standard though Hotate Fried Scallop β super tender with garlic chive sauce β most fine diningβlike course of the round π£ Second Set Jikinma β sweet, tender flesh Taurus Aji β not my favorite β ginger and fish flavor both too strong Saimaki β tiger prawn sweet but a bit chewy Modifier Konkani β good balance π Amadai Yaki β mild fish, but paired wonderfully with bell pepper sauce and mushrooms Switched to Noble Arrow sake mid-set β paired better with sushi π± Third Set Chef clearly tries to elevate US ingredients, but freshness falls short of Japan. Notate Aburi β seasoning good, but not as good as Sushi Denβs next door Denmark Salmon + Caviar β fresh and tasty π£β¨ Uni β freshness lacking π Zuwaigani β snow crab + sweet shrimp β incredibly tender and sweet π¦β€οΈ π£ Fourth Set Mexican Toro β freshest of the night! Rich, fatty, melt-in-your-mouth ππ₯ Magurozeku β marinated tuna + blue cheese β unique, cheese comes through subtly in the aftertaste, not overpowering π§ Kagoshima β flavor like mackerel, a little funky in a good way π π² Fifth Set Asari Misoshiru β clam miso soup β fine dining version of classic miso soup π₯£ π Sixth Set Palisade Peach White Bean Yokan Peach Sake Sorbet Dessert not too sweet β intense peach flavor! ππΆ #Omakase #JapaneseCuisine #FoodReview #ColoradoFood #DenverFood #ImmersiveDining #DenverTravel #ColoradoSki #SushiLovers π£
