About

About Japango

Japango has called Boulder's Pearl Street Mall home for more than two decades, earning its place as one of the Front Range's most celebrated Japanese restaurants. Founded with a commitment to sourcing exceptional ingredients, the restaurant flies in fresh fish daily from markets in Japan, Hawaii, and around the Pacific Rim — a standard that sets it apart from most sushi destinations in the Rocky Mountain region.

The restaurant's location within a historic landmark building on Pearl Street gives it a distinctive atmosphere, combining warm, intimate dining rooms with outdoor seating that overlooks the beloved pedestrian mall. The menu spans the full spectrum of Japanese cuisine: from foundational miso soup and edamame to elaborate specialty rolls like the Naninay (a tempura-battered fried roll stuffed with eel and smoked salmon) and the Himalayan (spicy scallop and shiso topped with tuna and poke sauce). A lengthy list of classic nigiri and sashimi options caters to purists, while the extensive special maki list satisfies those seeking bold, creative flavor combinations.

Happy hour runs daily and showcases one of Colorado's most impressive sake and shochu selections — over 25 varieties — making Japango a destination not just for dinner, but for exploration of Japanese spirits. The kitchen also accommodates vegetarians and vegans with dedicated roll and entree options, and the lunch menu offers exceptional value through bento boxes and sushi combination plates that keep prices accessible without sacrificing quality.
