Sawara

Sawara is a Japanese and Asian fusion restaurant at 5070 N Nevada Ave in Colorado Springs. The menu centers on sushi rolls, sushi burritos, poke-style sushi bowls and teriyaki bowls, along with soups, salads and appetizers such as edamame, shumai and seared yellowtail. The restaurant says it uses a limited selection of fish so the ingredients stay fresh, and it describes its setting as cozy and casual.

Sawara was founded by Chef Cai and his brother-in-law, Chef Danny, with the aim of making sushi more affordable and accessible. Cooked rolls are available alongside raw ones, and the menu includes vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. Guests can dine in, order takeout or delivery, or order online, and catering is available. WiFi is offered.
