Amu is a small Japanese bistro and sake bar located just off of the west end of the Pearl Street Mall. Amu's location means that it is easy to get to, but just out of the way enough that it is not as busy as the rest of that popular stretch of downtown Boulder. The menu is authentic Japanese; it features sushi and sashimi and a few appetizers, perfect for a quick meal and a drink rather than a huge feast. The drink menu is impressive, including both a large selection of sake and Japanese drinks as well as wine and local brews. Another benefit is that all of the food is a la carte, so it's extremely affordable.
