π£ Kizaki - Denverβs High-End Omakase with Flawless Service Review! π€©
Recommended Drink: Nabeshima Sake β crisp like champagne but refreshingly smooth π₯β¨ π₯’ First Set: Ichiban Dashi - Tuna-based soup, super fragrant! The little fish balls were super bouncy ππ² Unyru Tofu - Black sesame tofu with a magical texture, sweet like chocolate mousse π€ Tataki Beltfish - A bit firm, but the sauce was intriguing Goma - Jelly-like with a hint of orange β a pleasant surprise π Colorado Corn Soup - Made with Pearl Street Farmers Market corn β ridiculously good! Bursting with corn texture π½π₯ Negitoro Caviar Temaki - Sweet fish, fragrant rice, though the seaweed was standard. The rice truly brought back memories of Japan π Hotate - Fried scallop, super tender! Paired with a garlic chive sauce β the most fine-dining-like bite of the round π€β¨ π£ Second Set: Jikinma - Sweet and tender β¨ Taurus Aji - Not my favorite β ginger and fish flavors were too strong ππ§ Saimaki - Tiger prawn sweet but not tender enough Modifier Konkani - Blackthroat fish β well-balanced and nice π€ Amadai Yaki - Mild fish, but much better with bell pepper sauce and mushrooms π Switched to Noble Arrow sake mid-course β a better match with the sushi! π± Third Set: You can tell the chef strives to elevate U.S. ingredients, though freshness still falls slightly short of Japan. Notate Aburi - Good seasoning, but not as good as Sushi Den next door Denmark Salmon - Salmon + caviar = fresh and delicious ππ Uni - Not fresh enough π Zuwaigani - Snow crab & sweet shrimp β super tender and sweet! βοΈπ¦ π£ Fourth Set: Mexican Toro - The freshest of all! Rich, buttery, explosive flavor π₯ Magurozeku - Marinated tuna + blue cheese β unique! The cheese appears subtly in the aftertaste, not overpowering π§π Kagoshima - Tastes like mackerel, a little funky lol π π² Fifth Set: Asari Misoshiru - Clam miso soup β like a fine-dining version of classic miso π₯£β¨ π Sixth Set - Dessert: Palisade Peach White Bean Yokan Peach Sake Sorbet Desserts werenβt overly sweet β packed with intense peach flavor! ππ« #FoodieReview #OmakaseLovers #DenverEats #ColoradoFoodScene #JapaneseCuisine
