You won’t find sushi at Amu (go next door to Zanmai for that), but you will have the pleasure of selecting from the largest sake list in Boulder, and delicious Japanese food.Īt Sushi Zanmai, you can’t go wrong with any of their nigiri, but they used to make a Z-Death roll that would melt the faces off my chili-head friends. Zanmai’s sister restaurant, Izakaya Amu, is also an amazing and authentic Japanese food center of the city. They’ll cheer a kampai with you just for entering the door, and if you have a birthday? Definitely go to Zanmai to kick off the party atmosphere. It has a well-deserved reputation in Boulder (even besides the yearly Best title) for being the absolute best, most authentically Japanese, tastiest sushi you’ll find in the state, let alone the city of Boulder. It’s the best of the best, a true local favorite, and is perfect for anything from a delicious lunch special, to sushi-fueled karaoke night, and everything in between.
