Blue Sushi Sake Grill, Japanese restaurant in LoDo district, Denver, United States.
Blue Sushi Sake Grill is a Japanese restaurant in Denver's LoDo neighborhood, serving sushi rolls, hot dishes, and small plates alongside a broad sake selection. The space has a modern interior with low lighting and a bar area that anchors the room.
The restaurant was opened by Flagship Restaurant Group, a US-based hospitality company that has brought Japanese-style dining to several cities across the Midwest and Rocky Mountain region. The Denver location was part of a gradual move into urban markets where interest in Japanese food was growing.
Blue Sushi Sake Grill draws a mixed crowd of regulars and first-timers, with the menu leaning toward Japanese-American crossover dishes alongside more traditional preparations. The sake list is notably long and pairs well with the small plates that many tables order to share.
Reserving a table in advance is a good idea, especially on weekend evenings when the dining room fills up quickly. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible and also offers takeout and delivery for those who prefer to eat elsewhere.
The restaurant sources seafood from suppliers certified for responsible fishing and marks these items on the menu. It also offers plant-based alternatives to several classic sushi fillings, which is still uncommon at Japanese restaurants in the US.
