In 1981 sushi wasn’t the popular cuisine it would become. But, that was the year Aspen’s first such restaurant – Takah Sushi – opened. Aspen Public Radio’s Rob St. Mary has more on the long-time establishment that closed earlier this spring.
And today marks the final day for Casey Kaufman in the space on the Cooper Avenue Mall as the plates, serving trays and even the art on the walls are available for sale after more than three decades in business. Yesterday afternoon, former patrons looked over stacks of items on the dining tables as a mix of songs by the Beatles played through the restaurant.
Kaufman was handing cash sales at a table near the front door when I caught up with her.

The final plates and other pieces of Takah Sushi are expected to be sold off today.
