Sushi-Rama expansion into Aurora could drive commercial growth

Sushi-Rama expansion into Aurora could drive commercial growth Osaka surveyed the sushi conveyor belt snaking through his newest restaurant last week. The sleek, silver train wasn’t yet moving colorful plates of sushi and nigiri to patrons, and through the windows, sparse foot traffic on East Colfax Avenue passed in front of the Veterans Affairs Medical Center on North Wheeling Street. Local City of Aurora officials says Osaka’s decision to open his next Sushi-Rama location — a trendy local chain centered on conveyor-belt-delivered sushi — could be a driver of local economic growth when it [...]

More Sushi-Rama

More Sushi-Rama Jeff Osaka will open his fifth Sushi-Rama location in Aurora next month near the Fitzsimons Campus at 13650 E. Colfax Avenue — the first new location for the concept since the chef and his business partner opened a 3,020-square-foot warehouse that he plans as the nerve center for his fresh-fish distribution throughout the region. The 2,200-square-foot new location will feature a 200-foot conveyor belt whirring fish plates like The Kraken (fried squid legs, lemon, cucumber, pickled red onion, bibb lettuce, kaiware sprouts, spicy mayo, topped with gremolata) past diners. It also will [...]

Sushi-Rama Adds Commercial Kitchen to Handle Rapid Growth

Sushi-Rama Adds Commercial Kitchen to Handle Rapid Growth Chef/restaurateur Jeff Osaka launched Sushi-Rama at 2615 Larimer Street in late 2015, introducing conveyor-belt sushi to Denver. Osaka's goal at the time was to add multiple sushi bars throughout the metro area and eventually expand beyond Colorado. The semi-automated production and delivery of sushi was intended as both a way to keep the price down for customers and to streamline hiring and training internally. With two new Sushi-Rama outposts already open this year and two more on the way, the company is looking at new ways to become [...]

Denver restaurateur Jeff Osaka growing conveyor-belt sushi concept in Colorado and beyond

Denver restaurateur Jeff Osaka growing conveyor-belt sushi concept in Colorado and beyond Less than three miles from his bustling original Sushi-Rama restaurant, but seemingly a world away, Jeff Osaka is building plans to grow the concept up and down the Front Range and into other states — from a 3,020-square-foot warehouse that will be the nerve-center of his fresh-fish distribution throughout the region. The longtime Denver chef — who helmed the now-shuttered Twelve but still operates Osaka Ramen and 12th & Madison — opened Sushi-Rama in December 2015 in the River North neighborhood as an ode [...]

Design Alert: RiNo’s Sushi Rama

Design Alert: RiNo’s Sushi Rama When chef Jeff Osaka set about concepting Sushi-Rama, his year-old RiNo hot spot, he wasn’t going for the minimalist, Zen vibe of most sushi shops. Instead, he and business partner Ken Wolf asked Denver-based LIV Studio to explore the modular look of the ’60s. They provided two key inspiration points—Austin Powers and Hollywood’s Cinerama Dome—before turning the design firm loose. “We kept it pretty vague,” Osaka says. “We wanted colorful and fun, and they went for it.” Principal designer Brandon Anderson dove into the kitschy history of “kaiten”-style (conveyor-belt) dining in late-1950s Japan and [...]
