Aoba
Denver
PERMANENTLY CLOSED
Opened by a Tokyo chef and his buddy from Osaka (correct, that's the one right by Nishinomiya and Toyonaka), Aoba's a Blake Street 80-seater outfitted with hardwood floors and striking white booths prime for enjoying sushi, noodles, grilled meats, and an array of Japanese small plates the duo claims they haven't seen before in Denver (maybe they're microscopic plates?).
