Rintaro
Rintaro brings the experience of a Tokyo izakaya to San Francisco. The food tastes both like Japan and California -not fusion food - but the food you'd expect if the Bay Area were a region of Japan. The menu changes daily to take advantage of the best seasonal ingredients. We use super fresh California fish, organic and heirloom vegetables and the great meats available here. We have developed relationships with individual farmers who grow specialized Japanese vegetables and fisherman who take every precaution to keep their fish pristine. We also import high quality staples from our suppliers in Japan: whole katsuobushi from Kagoshima, good kombu from Hokkaido, handmade soy sauce from Kyoto, etc.
