Another one of our favorite Denver restaurants is Izakaya Den on Pearl Street in Wash Park. A Denver insitution for nearly 30 years, co-owners Toshihiro and Yazuhiro Kizaki recently expanded into beautiful new digs adjacent to co-owned Sushi Den. Despite being 1,000 miles from the ocean, the brothers have access to Japanese tuna that was in Tokyo's Tsukiji market only a few days before. The menu is global cuisine style, serving traditional Japanese plates along with dishes infused with international flavors.
