Honeysuckle Martini

  • April 10, 2008
  • Rated 5 of 5 by mecium from Fort Collins, Colorado
We visited Aspen last summer and just happened upon Taka Sushi. We enjoyed the best sushi we've ever eaten. Two things stood out for us: The Atomic Shrimp and the Honeysuckle Martini. Since then we have been trying to reverse engineer the martini. So far we've come up with Hendricks Gin, St Germain Liquer and..... Now for the right proportions and any other ingredients. We will certainly visit Takah Sushi on our next visit to Aspen.

Have any ideas on the martini? j.e.berry@comcast.net

Takah Sushi

Takah Sushi

Takah Sushi was recommended to us by pretty much everyone: our Rough Guide, Aspen locals, and the hotel concierge. Sounded like a great bet - and it was! We sat at the bar and hung out with Dave, the first Caucasian sushi chef I have ever met in probably about 500 times eating sushi! He passed the test, though, as his spicy tuna roll was definitely up to par.

Takah is a friendly and relaxed place where you end up chatting in depth with the sushi chefs, wait staff, and fellow diners who are mostly local. They drop a plate of fresh edamame in front of you as soon as you sit down, which won me over in a flash. A few items were priced a bit on the high side ($6 for a California roll? seemed high to me) but generally the prices were average.

I wasn't sure what to expect from a sushi joint tucked in the middle of the very land-locked Colorado Rockies, but was very pleasantly surprised with fresh fish and great preparation. All in all, definitely recommended!
