Our Take

Kizaki is Toshi Kizaki's omakase counter on South Pearl Street — the street where he spent decades setting Denver's sushi standard — and it distills that career into a course-by-course progression built on fish quality first, ceremony second.

Michelin starred it in 2025, and the Beard Foundation put it on its best-new-restaurant list. For a landlocked city, the sourcing is the quiet flex: the fish argues, the room just gives it space.

The Spot
Kizaki is an omakase sushi counter on South Pearl Street in Platt Park, led by Chef Toshi Kizaki alongside Chef Taro. The format follows the chefs' lead rather than an à la carte menu, with fish quality standing out as a defining part of the experience for regulars and critics alike.

Michelin awarded Kizaki one star in 2025, and the James Beard Foundation named it a semifinalist for Best New Restaurant in 2026. The restaurant also appears on Eater's essential Denver list and Westword's citywide best-of roundup, alongside coverage from The Infatuation.
