Domo Arigato, Mr. Yogato

We all know that frozen yogurt is healthy and delicious; however, at Mr. Yogato, it is also amusing and ridiculous! If you walk into the yogurt shop for the first time, you may be overwhelmed by their 18 non-fat yogurt flavors and 40 different toppings. However, don’t be confused by the goofy employees and the huge white board of the “Rules of Yogato.”

Follow the zany rules like singing along to Mr. Roboto, reciting the Braveheart battlefield speech with a Scottish accent, or even reenacting the Michael Jackson Thriller dance, to receive discounts up to 50% off!

Hey… don’t raise your eyebrows – yessssssh, I ordered in Sean Connery’s accent for 20% off.

Domo: A Country Japanese Jewel

Picture 8Domo hasn’t won Westword’s reader’s choice award for Best Japanese Restaurant fourteen years in a row for nothing. On the contrary, it’s a Denver treasure all the way around.

To open the heavy wooden door is to enter a rustic cottage in the feudal-era countryside, scattered with fascinating knickknacks like jars of viper wine and three-million-year-old chunks of rock salt; to exit out the other side is to discover a lush garden retreat, complete with a drum-bridged koi pond and a traditional shrine.

The menu is equally uncommon: chef-owner Gaku Homma’s so-called Japanese country fare comprises one-pot specialties such as donburi, nabemono, teriyaki, and the signature, chirashi-like Wanko sushi—all served with an array of sides and the fruity house sauce. Meanwhile, if there’s one thing Domo’s not known for, it’s efficient service—prepare to linger for a spell.
