Izakaya is a style of Japanese serving and this restaurant does it well. Primarily a bar setup with only one or two table settings. Narrow space and pretty informal. Service is great, food and drink are even better. They’d make sure to great you in Japanese.
Some posted pictures of interiors are not accurate, make sure to search them on internet to have a sense of the vibe. I’d leave a few pictures here from Internet.
Note: you have to take off your shoes to enter. 😉

The vibe and aesthetic is absolutely perfect. The food and drinks were top quality. The staff were really nice with our party. I can see myself coming here again whenever I am in Boulder

I love the atmosphere of this little place. It felt like I was back in the 90's. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. I really wanted to try the ramen but it is only made on Monday. The waitress recommended the udon and it was amazing! I couldn't believe how good the broth was. The noodles and egg were cooked perfectly. The sushi I got was pretty good but not amazing. I was excited to try the yuzu margarita and it was good but a little pricey.

They really do a great job at creating an authentic sushi experience. No shoes, tips for proper dining, etc. not for the beginner but “legit af” as the kids say

It's not a cheap place, but worth it. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Probably most authentic Japanese I ate and it was really great. I definitely will visit this restaurant again. Long list of sake

A must visit dining experience in Boulder. It's expensive, but worth it. I personally prefer to order Omakase where the server will pick the dishes for you. They take your dietary needs and preferences into consideration, and you get to try dishes you may not have picked for yourself.
