TripSavvy's fact-checking Share Pin Email While Denver is far from Japan geographically, both cultures have a love for the mountains, and also for delicious food. So whether the view from the sushi bar is Mt. Evans or Mt. Fuji, settle in with a platter of sushi and sashimi. One caveat: sushi in Colorado tends to be more expensive because fresh fish needs to be flown into this landlocked state. 01 of 05 Domo Restaurant tomophotography/Moment/Getty Images View Map Address 1365 Osage St, Denver, CO 80204, USA Get directions Phone +1 303-595-3666 Web Visit website Domo's picturesque patio and generous portions of sushi put this restaurant at the head of the class. Domo also shares space with Denver's largest Aikido school, and the restaurant features country-style Japanese food. The sushi arrives in individual bowls with wasabi on the side, but no soy sauce. Adding soy sauce to sushi is considered poor taste in Japan. Domo also serves other Japanese specialties such as teriyaki, udon noodles and soba noodles.
