Wako
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…

Le Fantastique
Tonight’s dinner was at Le Fantastique, a new restaurant that opened up a few months ago, with French and Japanese influences. They boast a McIntosh audio system and a turntable to play vinyl which of course interested me. We had an early reservation (which we always prefer) and we were in fact the first diners…

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…

#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…

Hashiri Restaurant
#33 another impromptu dining choice. We opted for the 6-course omakase (other option was 9-course) on a Wednesday since tomorrow is Halloween and I’m flying out to Florida. Great meal. Many tasty ingredients from japan (we’re always suckers for Hokkaido uni… plus one uni dish had caviar and gratuitous gold leaf (note, gold leaf is…

Sushi Hon
Kristine wanted some seafood/sushi for dinner so we found ourselves with an omakase tasting + 3 piece supplement (we’re always suckers for caviar, wagyu, and truffle) and a sake/wine pairing at Sushi Hon. Wines included a brut rose, a white Burgundy, and a sauterne. Sake pairings were enjoyable and included a Dassai 50 nigori, but…

Omakase
This week’s meal was Omakase at Omakase (I guess that makes it Omakase^2). It was mildly amusing that all the white folks (Andrea and a couple next to us) got seated together (everyone else was Asian. I’m the banana buffer) with the newbie sushi chef (3 months at the restaurant compared to 21 years and…
