Aspen Sushi restaurant Kenichi<\/a> reopens tonight December 16th with a whole new look.<\/p>\n

“The space has been reworked to add openness and create intimate seating areas including private rock star booths and Aspen’s only Tatami room-a private Japanese-style roomwith a sunken floor that seats up to 14. \u00a0The expanded sushii bar puts the fish and excitement surrounding the chef on focus. \u00a0the new lounge area is expanded with 45 total seats and, as alwaysk, is one of Aspen’s most popular and trendy scenes.<\/p>\n

Kenichi<\/a> offers the largest sake list in Colorado and is a recipient of the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence. \u00a0The new wine and cold sake display is made of 3-Form resin, a type of wavy frosted blue plexiglass that is environmentally friendly and made of all recycled material. \u00a0The piece, which resembles a modern fish tank, divides the dining and lounge areas. \u00a0Cold sake bottles are an art form on their own, therefore they are displayed above the bar with backlighting to simply showcase their form. \u00a0Adding to the decor, local glass blower David Powers created highly custom designed pendents hanging above the tables.”<\/p>\n
