Rintaro

Rintaro is a Japanese izakaya in San Francisco's Mission district serving a seasonal menu of sashimi, robata-grilled dishes, and other counter fare in a room built around Japanese carpentry traditions. Diners can pair courses with a rotating sake list alongside California wines, with the kitchen leaning on Bay Area ingredients like Half Moon Bay wasabi. It suits travelers wanting an izakaya evening where sake is treated as a genuine part of the meal rather than an afterthought.
