    Outstanding experience all around - one of the best meals we have had. We travel quite a bit and are foodies. The Omakase was superb!

    Great little place for really good sushi in Telluride. Happy hour from 5-6 is a great value. Place gets busy so make reservations beforehand if possible.

    I came here to celebrate my wife's birthday and we had an amazing time during our omakase. We had an 18-course meal with an awesome wine/sake pairing with it! She was very happy about the experience! I loved the experience! I would definitely come again to enjoy another omakase! Thank you so much for having us!

    Went there last night for my birthday dinner with high expectations, and every one of them was met! We sat at the bar for a more lively, interactive experience. Our server and chefs were friendly, and so easy to chat with. My wife and I both felt genuinely welcomed. The quality of the fish is top notch...all of it! Portions were perfect. Gyoza was the best I've ever had and the Mochi is a must! To top it all off, the manager brought me an unexpected complimentary treat with a birthday candle. It was delicious, but I more appreciated the kind gesture. It made my night. So glad we have a legit sushi place only an hour from where we live, and it's in our favorite little town of Telluride. going to make Kazahana a habit. Thank you to everyone there for a great evening and we hope to see you again soon.
