Sushi YOSHI - New Sushi Bar in Superior!

Fresh & Authentic Japanese Food and Sushi is what you'll find at Sushi Yoshi in Superior, Colorado. Don't let the small strip mall fool you... tucked away right off Highway 36 at the McCaslin exit (just south of Costso) is a sushi bar serving truly authentic Japanese food that will thrill all your senses!

The presentation is beautiful - steamed salmon wrapped in kombu tied with gourd, a tower of diced avocado and tomoatoes surrounded by marinated scallops each artfully topped with a tiny piece of marinated dried tomato, sashimi curved to look like a flower, even their salads are impressive!

The small kitchen is behind the sushi bar, so you get to smell these wonderful things that make you wonder if you have room for one more dish....

Most importantly, Yoshi knows fish! I have had incredibly fresh fish - melt in your mouth tender - and that makes me very happy :-)

He serves sauces on some dishes, especially the sashimi, that will knock your socks off! I forget the name but Yoshi serves a Special Sashimi dish that offers 7 pieces beautifully presented, each with a different sauce on top - just a little bit, enough to blend with the flavor of the fish. This is one of my favorites!

They have a very extensive Sake Menu, too. Although I typically stick with my favorite - Hot Sake w/Plum Wine - I did try their Poochi Poochi which is a carbonated cold sake drink. Light, sweet, bubbly, but Potent!


Save room for dessert! The handmade desserts at Yoshi's are incredible! Chocolate Mousse, Green Tea and Red Bean Ice Cream (of course!), and they use seasonal fruits to make these rich healthy desserts so you won't feel too guilty.

Some of these dishes remind me of Asian Fusion - a wonderful blend of authentic Japanese with a European flair - the final product is fresh with distinct yet prefectly blended flavors that always surprises me. I like being surprised! This is the first sushi bar I've been to in a very long time that makes me want to try everything on the menu!

I can recommend everything, but so far these are my favorites...
Zensai - traditional Japanese appetizers
Salmon wrapped in kombu
Tuna Salad - don't let the name fool you!
Special 7 Piece Sashimi with sauces
there's so much more I could list!

They have a website: www.SuperiorSushi.com that includes a map and menus, but the menus they have at the restaurant are up to date and include all the wonderful things they serve. It's a small place, so bring your patience in case you have to wait, or call for a reservation. The wait staff is very friendly.

Do you want to be surprised by a sushi bar? I suggest you give Sushi Yoshi a try :-)

I love tuna and salmon - but so far I've only eaten then cooked. I have yet to be brave enough to try sushi, but I found my sister's sushi experience to be entertaining.

Hey Deborah.... please have your sisters read my website! There is so much sushi has to offer and you're all missing out! And actually imitation crab IS fish, it's just made from various white fish that is cooked then formed and colored. So your sister really did eat fish :-) Have Fun! Lisa Sushi Secrets

Hi Andy,

I like your Recipe Buddys blog! (www.recipebuddys.com) Some of your members are from all over the world - very cool! - and it's a great idea to share recipes.

There's a blogger named Laura on your site that's asking about Warm Sushi Rolls. Please give her these suggestions since she doesn't want to fry them (don't blame her!) Make the rolls With WARM INGREDIENTS and serve immediately. Or.... Make the roll and Warm It In A Toaster Oven. I'm trying to think of the warm rolls I've had and I think it's also important to tell her if she uses QP MAYO as an ingredient, she has to be careful it's not left to spoil. Eat it quick!

So if you or your friends on Recipe Buddys have Asian Recipes you want me to post on Sushi Secrets recipe page, just have them email them to me. I'm always looking for new recipes to share. Also have them sign it how they want it posted on the website.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to hear from you again sometime. Enjoy! Lisa

If you ever happen to be in the Lewisville/Flower Mound area around Dallas, I'd love to see a critique of a little place called Jinbae.

Hi. Thanks for sharing your experience. I like the ideas to use some sauce for each different fish. Not only soy sauce but different sauce. I guess this is a new style for Sashimi.. It is all about Fusion Food.. Got some ideas, thanks.

I never new there were Yo sushi bars outside of the UK, we have had one just open in our local shopping centre in Sheffield. I'm glad sushi is going mainstream over here now.
