Domo 1st in Denver…doing our part to protect endangered species.

Domo Restaurant, 1st in Denver…again!

Until now, Domo Restaurant has used kihada maguro (red yellow fin tuna) in our wanko sushi and sashimi donburi dishes. However, recently kihada maguro has been added to the world endangered species list. Due to its popularity in sushi restaurants, kihada maguro has been severely over fished and there is now a serious shortage world-wide.

Concerned about the ecological balance of our planet, Domo Restaurant will do its part by discontinuing our use of kihada maguro. We are changing our fresh sashimi selection to vincho maguro (white albacore tuna). This fish is plentiful and wonderfully delicious, comparable in taste and texture to toro. In our opinion, vincho maguro is even more delicious than kihada maguro, and is not endangered. In today’s world we need to shop not only for quality and price, we must be conscious the world’s ecological balance.

Therefore Domo has changed from red to white in the sashimi department; more delicious and more ecologically mindful. If you have your heart set on red kihada maguro, we suggest your local sushi bar!

Thank you for your understanding,
