Izakaya Den sits alongside its sibling restaurants Sushi Den and OTOTO as part of the Den Corner group in Denver's South Pearl Street corridor. The menu runs tapas-style — traditional Japanese small plates alongside dishes that pull in other global flavors, built for sharing rather than a single main course. Sake is central to the concept, with an extensive selection anchoring the drinks list alongside the food menu.
Regulars point to the sushi and nigiri quality and dishes like the miso black cod, along with an upscale atmosphere and attentive service. Vegetarian options draw more mixed reactions from guests than the rest of the menu.
