		We came here during a recent family vacation not for the sarubobo but to experience Denver's Japanese sister city.
		This is where those sarubobo greet shoppers from store shelves and baskets, alongside woodcarvings made from local yew trees, packets of pickled red daikon and stacks of dried magnolia leaves for cooking atop miniature clay hibachis - a regional specialty.
