Sushi by Scratch
Tonight’s dinner was at Sushi by Scratch at the Montecito Inn in Montecito. This is the other Michelin-starred restaurant in the SB area (both being in Montecito, just a few block apart). The entire restaurant is the sushi bar which has only has 10 seats. It sounds like Scratch has a chain of sushi restaurants…

Akikos
This week’s dinner was at Akiko’s, which recently moved into their new location on Folsom St. as of January 10. As we entered, there was a very nice cocktail bar at reception. Had we known, we would have come earlier to enjoy although since it was right by the door, it was a bit rough…

Sushi Tadokoro
Tonight’s dinner was at Sushi Tadokoro. It’s located in Old Town in a small strip mall next door to a liquor store. You almost wouldn’t even notice the restaurant front since it only had minimal signage. We had an early seating for the omakase dinner at the sushi bar. Sushi Tadokoro received their Michelin star…

Kusakabe
This week’s dinner was at Kusakabe. This place was recommended by the woman we were seated next to at the last Ritual dinner so we decided to give it a try. It’s right across the street from the Transamerica building. It’s a Japanese kaiseki style restaurant so we were very interested to see how they…

Robin
This week’s dinner was at Robin. I hadn’t eaten here since before the pandemic, but Andrea had eaten here with Trisha since then. Back then, I really enjoyed the modern take on sushi and enjoyed the rap music playing as background music. So I was really looking forward to coming here again, but wondered if…

I’ve been wanting to come back here…we last ate here pre-pandemic, although we did do take out during that time and as good as that was, it’s not nearly the same. Last time we ate here, we weren’t seated at the counter, but this time I made sure we were and that makes a big…

Sato Omakase
This is a new multi concept restaurant that just just added their 10-seat omakase counter a few weeks ago. Seating is not socially distanced like The Shota was, so was a little tight if you are concerned about that. Of course we went to the first seating since I’m old and like to go to…

The Shota
Back to our regular Thursday evening dining routine. This was the last Michelin starred restaurant in SF at which we had not yet dined and was one added during the most recent guide. The restaurant only had 11 diners seated while we were there (pre-Covid, they sat up to 18). Decor was Japanese minimalist and…

Wako
#35 one of the better omakase we’ve had. Small venue, 5 tables and the sushi bar (unfortunately we didn’t get seating at the bar). Andrea Setterholm was the only non-Asian in the restaurant, surely a good sign . Ingredients were excellent (sourced from Japan(of course), Spain, and Turkey). Meticulous preparation and great flavor profiles. So…
