doesn't really capture the refinement of dishes at Domo, which sports the best garden din-
ing in all of Colorado - kind of like dining in Mr Miyagi's backyard.
The fun doesn't stop there; Danielson, the spicy maguro and hamachi donburi, is an ex-
plosively flavorful combination of fresh fish, seaweed and chili-soy dressing. Each main
is served with seven traditional Japanese side dishes.
