We can’t thank you enough for your continued support and we’re looking forward to seeing all of your smiling faces in the coming weeks!
Love this gorgeous patio weather again, but we’re fired up and ready for the cool nights ahead!
Love and sushi are a lot alike. You can never have too much of either.
You deserve a fresh pour! See you at the bar.🥃
Come and dine al freso! Call us for reservations or curbside pick-up.
Join us for happy hour. Daily from 3pm - 6pm and all day Monday. 🍣🍤🕘
We've got your weekend plans covered! Who is joining us, tag your dates😋
There once was a time, it seems like so long ago now, that you could pull up a chair in front of your favorite chef or bartender and regale the night away as they crafted you delicious concoctions.
Piece by piece you’d learn more about them, even more so now it feels important to learn about the faces behind the masks. So, we thought we’d start a little series called “a seat at the bar” to learn just a tidbit more about each of our wonderful team... until one day you can pull up your own seat again.
Of course we begin with the man the myth the legend himself... Our head chef Iwasan.
Feeling indulgent tonight? Our Uni and Unagi handroll from the secret menu is rich, adventurous, and exactly what a #treatyourselfsaturday calls for. 😉
As the weather gets colder and dining becomes more and more of an indoor activity, we want to share with you some of the extra steps we've taken to keep our guests and team as safe as possible.
We installed one of the best commercially available air ionization & filtration systems throughout our entire building (which also includes our favorite neighbors to the south @thesundownsaloon) killing 99.4% of COVID and other particles in the air within 30 minutes. We also have easily recognizable hand sanitizing stations positioned in 5 places throughout the restaurant. Finally, we've rearranged our dining room to exceed recommended social distancing between tables (also meaning your closest neighbor will be bamboo). Outdoor dining on our heated patios will remain open throughout the season as well!
We take the safety of our community seriously, and will continue to take steps and precautions to keep ourselves and our guests healthy.
There's nothing like steamy soup on a cold day, and our Udon Soup is guaranteed to hit the spot! Fresh seafood, Udon noodles and our spicy dashi broth will warm you right up on even the chilliest of days.
The response of Boulder restaurants rallying around our community in a time of need has brought us to tears more than once these last few days. It has been sobering to say the least seeing our friends houses lost and we’d love to follow the lead of @bigredfrestaurants @picasboulder @curedboulder and any others we haven’t seen yet to offer meals for those displaced by the #calwoodfire and #lefthandcanyonfire
For anyone who is evacuated or has unimaginably lost their home to these fires, call for Togo or join us between 3 and 5pm for long as the fires are keeping you from home. We’d love to provide you with an assortment of sushi, seaweed salad, miso... and certainly a beer, lots of love and a friendly ear if you could use it ❤️
That fall chill is definitely in the air and the 10 day forecast confirms that summer patio weather will soon be coming to an end 😢
Fear not! As the cooler weather settles in, our four separate heated patios will keep you dining al fresco for as long as you care to brave
One of our most popular rolls is the Cactus Roll. 🌵 Made from tempura Fried Serrano Chiles stuffed with Spicy Tuna and Cream Cheese, then topped with Nitsume, Sweet Mayo and Sriracha- this roll has got a combination of sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors! Available on our lunch and dinner menu, the cactus roll is always a good idea! Comment your favorite Japango order below so we can feature it in a future post!
Well friends it’s officially 5 o’clock, so the feel of dining out just got a little chiller. We do it every year for the mountains, so now let’s do it for the restaurants... if your favorite restaurant has outdoor seating available- then bundle up, mask up, and enjoy some après on Pearl Street!
Whoa, Monday. You kind of snuck up on us there. Is anyone else feeling a little unprepared for the responsibilities lying ahead this week? If so, let us help you cross meal prep off the to-do list by ordering from our curbside to go menu!
Pull up a (virtual) chair, friends, because we've got another instalment of A Seat at the Bar for you! This week we're getting to know one member of our extraordinary waitstaff, Holly! Holly is always ready to greet our guests with a warm smile and friendly demeanor, but what does she do when she's not serving up sushi and smiles to the community? What's she most looking forward to once COVID is a thing of the past? Swipe through our interview to get to know Holly a little better!

Is there anything more glorious than a sunny fall day in Colorado? The light is warm, the air is crisp, and saturation seems to be turned up to 100. Today may not be one of those days, but the forecast says that we'll soon be treated to a week of sunshine and temps in the 60s. Come soak up all that delicious weather with some delicious food and drinks on our Patio before--in true colorado fashion--the weather decides to snap back into winter mode.
Also a BIG thank you to all the guests who captured our patio area so well!

That feeling when it's Super Bowl Sunday and you've pre-ordered a Japango sushi platter. 🎉 Don't forget we'll be closing today at 3:30PM, so come get your sushi on early and be back home and settled in to watch the commerci-- we mean the game from the best seat in your house!
Break out the long stem Roses and heart-shaped candy, it's almost Valentine's Day! We're putting the final touches on a special Prix Fixe menu, packed with our most indulgent items sure to impress anyone. While we wish we could make all of you our Valentine this year, in-house dining for the weekend is just about booked up, but give us a call and we are always happy to see if we can work some magic or fill in any cancellations.
For those of you planning a romantic evening in the comfort of your own home, our Valentine’s Day Make at Home Sushi Kit is the perfect way to connect over learning something new. Or, if you want to kick back and let us take care of the work, all of our menus will be available to preorder and pickup curbside. So as you're picking out teddy bears and thinking up clever ways to rhyme "violets are blue" remember to say I Love You with a plate full of sushi too.

The temperature outside may have fallen, but our most popular cocktail is sure to keep you warm inside! Our Serrano Splash is made with House-Infused Serrano Vodka and St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur then shaken with Basil, and fresh Lemon and Lime. Take a sip and let the sweet heat transport you to a sunny beach on a carefree afternoon. 😎🏖️
The countdown to the Superbowl is officially on, and nothing goes together like football and sushi, right? Ok, it may not be the first combo you think of, but sushi really is the perfect party food. We'll be closing at 3:30pm on Sunday, so get your platter preorders in and be back on the couch for kickoff!
Holy, tea Batman! We're so excited to be partnering with our neighbors @kuchatea! Beginning tomorrow, you can choose from over 20 varieties of loose leaf sipping goodness including oolong, herbal, fruit, and various black and green tea options. Not to play favorites, but we are personally most excited about their Sakura Cherry Blossom Green Tea. Take a long sip, and let it transport you to Japan as the Spring cherry blossoms float around you in the breeze. 🌸🍵
Happy #meatlessmonday friends! 🌿 Over the years, we've had a fair share of vegetarians join the fampango which means plenty of creative herbivore-friendly versions of our Rolls have sprung up over the years... many of which more than stand up to the originals! Our menu already includes a plethora of meat-free options, but pictured here, are our 2 favorite vegetarian adaptations— the Hanami and Aquaman Rolls. 🤤
The Hanami Roll comes with Tempura Asparagus, Cucumber and Avocado inside, and is topped with Plum Paste, Spiced Onion, Truffle Ponzu and Scallions. The vegetarian version of the Aquaman Roll has Tempura Asparagus, Onion, and Cream Cheese inside, with Avocado, Honey, and Macadamia Nut on top. So whether you've made the commitment to a meat-free diet or you're just wanting a departure from our dedicated vegetarian options, be sure to ask for these secret vegetarian creations the next time you dine with us!
