Sushi Ronin Replaces 12 at Madison in Congress Park
This is the third Ronin restaurant in the metro area, and there’s a fourth on the way.Denise Mickelsen •

From a bakery and, briefly, a sushi bar to a small-plates stand out and then back again to a sushi bar, the restaurant space at the corner of Madison Street and 12th Avenue in Congress Park has changed hands, and concepts, multiple times over the past seven years. Glaze, a bakery that specialized in multi-layered German Baum cakes (and, for several months, a sister concept to LoHi’s Sushi Sasa that operated in the same space) closed in 2015; chef Jeff Osaka’s brilliant 12 at Madison shuttered in March 2020 due to the pandemic; and the third outpost from the Sushi Ronin group (after Lohi and Highlands Ranch) began serving its omakase-oriented take on Japanese fare there last month, on December 17.
