Elegante Dekoration für diesen hochkarätigen Japaner, der Sie mit zwei Stäbchenschlägen direkt auf den japanischen Archipel befördert. Zunächst geht man durch einen kleinen, entspannenden Innenhof, dann setzt man sich in den holzverkleideten Innenraum, in dem jeder Tisch durch Paneele abgetrennt ist, die eine gewisse Privatsphäre ermöglichen. Auf der Speisekarte stehen außergewöhnliche Gerichte, die der reinsten japanischen Tradition folgen und Einfachheit mit der Frische der Produkte verbinden. Besonders gelungen sind die Spieße und Sashimi. Eine der besten japanischen Adressen der Stadt.

Rintaro was on my radar, but I had no plans to dine here during my week long trip. After seeing their cookbook EVERYWHERE in town, I felt like splurging for my last dinner in SF and made a same day (Thurs) 9:30 pm dinner reservation.
I spoke to Kay, the hostess, 2x. Got to meet them in person, which was nice. Friendly, helpful.
???? ????♂️The other waitstaff was... Average. It didn't help (1) the kitchen was closing soon after my order was placed, so I felt rushed, and (2) I was seated at the bar. My water glass was empty for a long time until a server dropped off a pitcher. My server didn't take my jacket/bag or point out there were hooks under the counter, but I figured they must be *somewhere*. I was much better taken care of at a mom-N-pop restaurant in Central Richmond than here.
I was really excited for the housemade yosedofu and the udon "carbonara".
????⬜ The tofu was forgettable. I've had this many times and wish they added myoga or shiso to make it special. Go all out since it's elevated Japanese food and the same ingredients are also used for the udon (grated ginger, scallion, katsuobushi). The little pitcher of soy sauce leaked on the table and didn't taste of shiitake. The server brought a serving spoon and plate for me to eat from, which didn't make sense as I was a party of 1 ???? Both spoons provided were a bit awkward to eat off of.
???????? The kama tama udon "carbonara" description is misleading. There's no rich creaminess you'd expect from a carbonara-like dish. The housemade udon had a distinct, firm chew I appreciated. The bowl was also warmed, nice attention to detail.
???????? The star was the hojicha panna cotta, which was a late add on. At first bite, the hojicha was very pronounced. Very creamy. I didn't use the syrup it was served with.
????????The surrounding area is not very well lit, bit industrial, so it has less foot traffic and it's creepy at night, even for the 5 min walk from the bus stop.
????????️The interior atmosphere is nice for a date, but the bar stools weren't very sturdy/weighted. The open kitchen is nice and heard lots of Japanese being spoken. The only perk to sitting barside is watching everyone work.
