Two Japanese companies have partnered with Denver-based operator to bring the first
Miyabi Jr. Japanese Express restaurant to Tiffany Plaza in southeast Denver.
The quick-service Japanese restaurant offers hibachi grilled fresh food cooked behind the front counter by skilled executive hibachi chefs. Some of the menu items include the hibachi filet mignon, steak, shrimp, chicken, fish, vegetables Gyoza, sushi rolls and other Japanese favorites.
"Our entire team understands what makes Japanese food so inviting and tasteful, and Miyabi captures the full essence of what we know to be true," says Junya Nakajima, Miyabi Jr.'s Denver manager. "We can't wait to have as many people as possible come and experience our newest venture."
Koichiro Hirao of Capital Japan opened the first Kyoto Japanese Steakhouse in Charleston, S.C. in 1979. Since then, he has opened 17 restaurants. Since teaming up with PJ Partners, a food and beverage company based in Japan, Hirao has opened more than 20 restaurants in Japan, Singapore, China, Indonesia, Malaysia and Hawaii.
The Tiffany Plaza location is the team's first eatery into Colorado. Expansion plans could bring as many as five more Miyabi Jr. restaurants to the Denver metro area in the next 24 to 36 months.
