Sophie is THE BEST server! Kind, knowledgeable and super sweet! Thanks for making our visit so much fun!!!!

This place is such a cute little hidden gem. There's street parking only and the entrance is very low-key and nothing fancy, but inside it's really cute and authentic. They have a ton of unique sake options that they brew locally, and even sake-based hard seltzer options - we tried the Yuzu and the blood orange - so good! We decided to try a few dishes and share them, we started with the nitamago eggs and it was amazing. The flavors that they packed into this little egg were really unique and totally worth it. We moved onto the Okonomi, Fries, fried eggplant, yakitori, chicken, skewers, and a few sushi rolls. The fries themselves were OK, but the bonito flakes on top were super fishy and really not good. And there were so many of them that we honestly couldn't really eat the fries. The fried eggplant was a hit, so good perfectly crispy and seasoned while still soft and tender inside. The skewers were also good, just remembering that they have the satay peanut sauce. Their sushi options were somewhat limited, but the fish was fresh. We had the red devil, the tuna avocado, and the salmon maki roll. All of it was good, but it's not somewhere that I'd recommend going just for the sushi specifically it's an overall vibe, when we walked in at 6:30 we were the only table there and within half an hour every table was full. Earlier the same day I saw online there were plenty of timeslots available and I almost didn't make a reservation because they require you to put a card down, but in hindsight, I'm glad I did. They also have a really fun lounge in the back where comedy shows and other events are held every night of the week, they have a really cool lineup and some interesting events happening. Totally would come back.! read more

This is a cute little spot near the rino area! I hadn't heard of it until my friend recommend it. They have week night events such as trivia, open mic nights, etc. my friends and I shared a couple of dishes. Our favorite was the fried eggplant. There were out of a lot of the beef dishes which was a little disappointing. Our least favorite were the fries, they have fish flakes on top which we didn't realize until after the fact but we would not order those again. read more

I have been here a few times now and have enjoyed the food (loved the steak skewers) and cocktails. They even have cider which Ryan especially enjoys. The service is excellent and the space is unique and fun ...and we love going to the comedy shows or burlesque shows etc here. We always have so much fun and everything , events included, are reasonably priced as well. We love coming as a couple or bringing friends with us too! Highly recommend Colorado Sake Company ! read more

This was a nice shift from all the breweries. We tried a few different sake and apps but the standout was the grilled eggplant. The portions are small though so I'd recommend this as a starting place and then drinking/eating your way down the block. read more

This place has such a cool concept--a sake and sushi bar! I've never seen anything like it. The vibe is awesome, and everyone was super friendly and welcoming. I tried a sake flight and loved how unique the flavors were, even if they were a little subtle (which might just be how sake is!). They served the flight in half-pours, which was perfect because the sake hit me pretty fast! I also ordered the sushi tacos and a spicy tuna roll, but they were a bit too spicy for me. Overall, it was a great experience! read more

Gyoza, wings, and sushi rolls were tasty! Sake flights were also a great way to sample different flavors. We loved it!

Fantastic food, sake, and service. I stopped in on a whim, on my quest to walk around Denver and randomly try new places. This was a real win! I got a half flight with four pours, and enjoyed all. And the food! Was there for a happy hour and got a couple small plates. The eggs were fantastic - the kind of dish that reminds you to actually wait it slowly and appreciate how the different flavors and textures are working together. Pork human was also delicious. Service was super friendly and helpful with recommendations. I will be back, and may join their sake club. 5/5. read more

Searched for sushi close to my hotel, and came across this place. Easily made a reservation online and walked into a quaint, beautiful space with great service and amazing food. I sat at the bar, and the server was extremely helpful in assisting me with sake selections for my flight. The pork buns and spicy salmon sushi were very fresh and just right for me. Worth a visit! read more

Had a great dinner here with my husband. We had never been before, and are so happy we found it! They have an awesome vibe, great service (even with only a few staff on duty), and amazingly fresh fish! They also have comedy, burlesque, and drag shows on different nights of the week. Excited to do more date nights here! read more

I had been eager to try this place! The decor is very cute inside (ceiling, walls, etc.). The service is great, quick and helpful with recommendations. The menu has something for everyone, including those of us who don't even eat fish! I had the fried tofu roll, which was excellent, and the cucumber and avocado roll, which was also good. We also split a serving of edamame dumplings, which were veryyyy good. We ordered a flight of sake to share, and that was fun! This restaurant hosts events like yoga, comedy, even jazz with dogs! What a fun local spot. The only thing that would make it better is if it had a nicer outdoor seating area on the patio (it's small and has plastic drapes) or a rooftop eating area. Anyway, highly recommend! read more

I saw this place had some of the highest reviews so I had to come check it out for myself. The decorations inside were beautiful, and I thought it was so cool how they have a space in the back for events like variety shows and yoga. Our sever was very friendly and personable. I'm not sure if I was more looking forward to the food or the sake, but they both ended up being quite pleasant. My favorite dish was the baja shrimp bao, and my favorite drinks were probably the #6006 which had a nice subtle fruity notes, and the Bees Knees which is deliciously honey and lavender-infused. I definitely would come back next time I'm in Denver. read more

The vibe here is always perfect. Love that the menu is small and the sake is super unique. Also nice that there is a comedy club in the back so it's a great lowkey weekend event. The food is okay. I've never been in love with anything but it's always a good time and there's consistency in what they deliver. The service is usually good as well. read more

Overall a great experience! The food was delicious and the infused sake was full of unique flavors. I wasn't a huge fan of the tuna, felt it was a little overcooked for my taste but the yellowtail was incredible. We also got a couple rolls which were pretty good. Service was nice and the vibes were great. I'm curious to explore other sushi in Denver as well read more

Colorado Sake Co is truly a gem somewhat hidden and unknown in Denver. Although it may be unassuming from the outside, once inside, it is clear that a lot of thought was put into the layout and decorations. There is the room that is seen once entering the restaurant but there is also a back room. I'm not sure if the back room is used for private events only or also for extra seating but it looked cool and moody back in there. The food is decently priced for small dishes and tastes pretty great. However, if you have quite a large stomach like I do, it may be a good idea to either head there with a snack prior or expect to eat something else afterwards or you'll likely end up with a hefty bill. Now for the sake! They have a wide range of different kinds of sake from sweet to dry to different kind of infusions that are harder to find elsewhere. We tried all three and I enjoyed them all. They definitely know what they are doing regarding their sake. I highly recommend heading to Colorado Sake Co for a small plate or two and to enjoy sake with good company! read more

I certainly wasn't impressed with awe to the degree where the ratings by others tell the story but last night's quick dine in experience for a few to several small plates I shared with my daughter at Colorado Sake Co was a fun one so I must write. I like the location. It's located at the upper north end of the RiNo neighborhood. For me (I live in north DTC), it's an easy hop onto I-25 to Downing exit. From there, I simply stayed on Downing to get to 36th and Downing to get to the restaurant. Unlike the photos uploaded by others on Yelp, I found this place to be a very small/quaint restaurant. During the peak dinner time on a typical weekend will require a reservation. For us though, it was a little past 5:30pm on a Tuesday night, when we arrived at the restaurant, we were the FIRST customer. We grabbed one of the high-top tables. Simply a perfect size table for two. Their menu is a bit small; they definitely can add a few more items to it for more variety was the first impression of it but after all, this is a place to mainly have some sake as the restaurant's name says it all; that's the main act of the whole place so with that in mind, the foods they serve are simply its accompaniments? More simply put it, you expect to see the typical style of a typical "izakaya" offers. Hopefully that explains well. We didn't order any alcoholic beverages but my daughter (who doesn't drink) ordered the Lavender Lemonade (non-alc) and I got me the green tea. Whereas the green tea was the average one, The Lavender Lemonade was very tasty and refreshing. And it wasn't too sweet either. If you are a non-drinker, I highly recommend this drink. We needed to have some zensai (the Japanese word for starters or appetizers (i.e. the small dishes you eat before the main course). It is similar to "antipasto" in Italian food, or "hors d'oeuvres" for French food; it's a little Japanese lesson here!!!) before we would order anything main. We got us the edamame, the sunomono and the miso carrot to start our night. They were not super impressive and yet good enough to entertain our palates to be ready for something more extraordinary. So far so good! Before I go into the main, I must say that the staff are very welcoming and friendly here. For our main, we got us the Seared Tuna (3pc), the Beet Cured Salmon (3pc), the Jalapeno Yellowtail (3pc), and last but not least, the Spicy Salmon Roll (except the salmon roll, everything was sashimi so we got us a bowl of rice to enjoy the 3 sashimis.) Our #1 favorite based on the presentation and the quality was definitely the Beet Cured Salmon. Our second favorite was the Yellowtail. You can't go wrong with Yellowtail that is soaked in ponzu sauce, right? The Spicy Salmon Roll comes in the third place although it wasn't spicy at all. The way the Seared Tuna was aburi'd (seared) appeared to have achieve the perfection and yet the quality (somehow) failed to impress me/us. It wasn't bad just so you know. I almost concluded this review of mine without mentioning the interior of the restaurant. The origami decorations on the ceiling is quite impressive. The wall at the bar has sakura motif intricately placed between the wooden letters to show what the drink items they serve at the restaurant. Attention to detail is seen throughout the establishment. Overall, this was a 4-star dining experience. Whereas I am a bit hesitant to give it a perfect 5-star review, when out-of-towner asks for a suggestion for a place where they can have sushi with sake with a great ambience, I will not hesitate to name Colorado Sake Co. read more

My mom and I had a blast here last night! I had it bookmarked so we came here on our first night in Denver. I started with a half sake flight, trying the sake king (sparkling), OG nigori, green machine (spicy serrano cilantro), and grapefruit pear. Of course, the one I wanted to try, horchata nigori, was sold out. I ended up also getting a half glass of the Arnold Palmer and Oats N Berries flavors. My favorite was the OG nigori, which is the top sellar. We started with hamachi jalapeno sashimi and hotate sashimi. They were both fresh and delicious! I loved the micro cilantro with the hamachi. Next, we got spicy salmon tacos. The salmon was flavored with tobanjan (yum) and topped with yuzu tobiko! Then we got fried Brussel sprouts with spiced honey, spicy tuna tacos, duck bao, shrimp tempura roll, and fried rice. We loved the Brussel sprouts and shrimp tempura roll! For whatever reason my mom did not want the duck bao. It was amazing! First, the bao buns were overstuffed with both shredded duck and crispy skin! It was all mixed together and had so much texture and juiciness all at once! Our server Shelby was awesome. We were having a great time and then...Monday is trivia night! We had no idea, but I got interested in staying through the six rounds because I was hoping to win a bottle of sake or three...let's just say we were not very good, even as some of the top teams left before the end. We still did not place in the top 3. Oh well! We loved the atmosphere, food, and I enjoyed the sake! Itadakimasu! read more

Amazing!! Small place so make sure you make reservations ahead of time. We did but were ahead of schedule so we were lucky enough to sit at the bar. I sat next to the service station and DAMN, do they work their butt off! I wish they would think of putting a service bar in the comedy lounge. A full restaurant with a venue for 65 and one small bar, it seems overwhelming. The food was great! What was most evident and most impressive was the staff, manager, expo chef all worked together!! Sitting at the end, I heard it all and they kept checking in with each other on a busy Saturday night. No one was sitting around with their arms crossed not doing anything. It was clearly a team effort which I admire! Sake was great, I recommend a flight. They do offer to go as well. read more

Colorado Sake is still one of my favorite spots in Denver! It's so unique. A whole spot dedicated to sake? Their rotating flavors can be hit or miss, but they're always high quality, and that's what flights are for. You can even order bottles to-go. My favorite flavors are Blueberry Hibiscus and Horchata when they're available. They have Japanese food which is pretty good, as well as live burlesque and comedy shows in the back. Service is great. Come on Tuesdays when half flights are half off! read more

I can't wait to come back. 10/10 The Nitamago eggs were INSANE. The one thing we would change about it was the temperature. They were very chilled. Set out for a few minutes or room temp would've made them perfect. Aside from that it was still our favorite item of the night! You will not be disappointed. It also comes in qty of 4, we accidentally ate before we got a picture. The wings were our least favorite. They were disappointing. They were over cooked, dry and I'm sure the flavor was good but I'm guessing absorbed into the cook and it got lost. The takoyaki was phenomenal! Amazing flavor. Perfectly crispy on the outside and gooey chewy on the inside. One of the best orders of takoyaki I've had in Denver tbh. The Red Devil roll was also insanely good. So many unique and unexpected flavors but I would absolutely recommend this and order it again! I've never been to a Sake Brewery type place before. Until this day I didn't even know it existed. So fun (if you're a sake person) even if you're not. My gf ordered a sake glass for herself and she doesn't usually like sake. They have so many fun and unique flavors to choose from. The service was great, and the ambiance was so fun for a date night. It was one of the best date nights I've been on in a minute! I highly recommend this place for a fun night out or date night! read more

The weekend brunch here is great - never crowded, and the menu is not too far from the dinner offerings. Definitely have the Gojuchang pork dumplings, the chicken dumplings are spicy, and give the watermelon sashimi a whirl (it's usually listed as the variable vegetable sashimi, and it's spicy). As about the specials because potato croquets are often not listed or mentioned, and they're tasty. Sometimes there's also a dessert that's worth a shot. Sake flights are fun, and I recommend getting adventurous. I had some unexpected favorites. read more

This place is best known for its sake, with many infused flavors brewed on site! They also offer sushi (small, simple rolls) and Japanese style appetizers, but my favorite is the hidden comedy cellar in the back!

We came here for my birthday brunch and I am SO glad we did. My husband and I are also huge sake fans, so it was a win/win. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by a lovely woman who was so sweet and let us pick a seat. She gave us a little background about the sake, food, and history of the distillery. The inside is very cool, with traditional origami hanging from the ceiling! The food and the sake were both fantastic! We had the best time. The real star was the edamame/tofu gyoza and ALL the sakes! I also loved the blood orange sake cocktail I had. We loved it so much, we signed up for their sake club!
