    One of the absolute best dining experiences I have had in Aspen. We tried quite a variety of the menu and it was all great. The Yasai Maki roll was different and delicious. The gyoza is excellent. Our server was truly phenomenal. We will absolutely be returning the next time we are in Aspen and telling all our friends.
