A very good Izakaya in San Francisco
If you are looking for a typical Japanese "pub", this is the place for you! Rintaro Izakaya in San Francisco is a popular restaurant where you can enjoy extensive snacks and small dishes and which has even been awarded by Michelin. It's clean and pleasant and you can sit at a table or at the bar, where you can watch the chefs cook.
Due to the popularity of this Izakaya, however, there are very long waiting times (up to 1.5 hours), so a reservation is recommended. If you are able to get a seat, you will be served your ordered dishes relatively quickly.
Further down we have listed what we ate and drank. From grilled skewers to fried dumplings to small side dishes, everything you can order there is included. You can also try the extraordinary Japanese cocktails there.
We found everything extremely delicious and authentic! However, it also comes at a price, because with drinks and side dishes you can easily end up at 50 Euros per person (not including the typical US American 20% tip). So: We always recommend this restaurant if you have some spare money!
What did we order?
- Yakitori (chicken skewers, grilled)
- Liver Garlic (chicken liver and garlic)
- Chicken meat with onions
- Yosedofu (homemade tofu, super soft and delicious)
- Hanetsuki Gyoza (dumplings with meat Hanetsuki means with wings, which is why they don't look normal, but as if they had wings)
- Gohan with Natto (rice with Natto )
- Hojicha Panna Cotta (roasted tea Panna Cotta)
- Shiso Chu Hai Cocktail ( Shiso flavor, you can get some information from the article)
- Yuzu Chu Hai Coktail ( Yuzu flavor, you can get some information from the article
