"Temaki Den" is one of several concepts in Denver from Toshi Kizaki, who has been doing it in the city since the mid-80's with the original restaurant, "Sushi Den."
I'd say it's fairly casual, and isn't so much a standalone restaurant as it is a space within a market hall, with bar seating as well as tables.
Particularly for being a fairly casual walk-in place, I thought it was excellent. Definitely an emphasis on hand rolls and torched sushi, though they have a pretty good selection of nigiri when you factor in their daily specials.
Your orders come out a couple pieces at a time rather than as a huge platter, which I think works well. Especially true of hand rolls; I love when you get them right after they were made and the nori still has a light crisp snap to it

Beautiful pictures, well-plated pieces. I do hope you enjoyed it.
Looks great!
Is it chef’s selection like omakase, or did you order each of these?
They look good! Thanks for giving us your thoughts about the place, might check it out one day!
