Have you ever dine at a Japanese restaurant? Are you a huge fan of Japanese food – Yakisoba, Teriyaki Chicken, or Gyoza dumplings? Well, who doesn’t love Japanese food? Among Japanese-styled dishes, sushi tops the charts of popularity for its blended combination of flavors and enriched tastes that won the hearts of people all over the world. Sushi has then become a strong rival to the remaining cultured dishes and even Western cuisine.

“Oishi desu!” means ‘very delicious’ in Japanese.

And when it comes to the Japanese dining culture, you can’t overlook these little details – all the mannerism that involves such greetings like “Itadakimasu’ and ‘Gochisosama’ done before and after having a good meal. If you’re a huge fan of Japanese cuisine, that your heart beats extremely fast just by hearing the word ‘sushi’, then you should be accustomed to many of the Japanese dining culture. As long as your heart yearns to explore the rich, yet delicate tastes of Japanese dishes, you can stay right where you are without having to move an inch further away from home.

In San Francisco, a populous state with over 3 million residents, you can find countless numbers of Japanese restaurants that will blow your mind away.

Japanese restaurants in San Francisco are no joke, they’re the real deal here in the United States – featuring a variety of traditional, Japanese-styled sushi bars, authentic elite Omakase restaurants, and even sushi counters for lunch. If you’re a resident here in San Francisco or is around just for a vacation or a business trip, Japanese food offered here is divine. Working with the best ingredients they could find, crafting sashimi dishes, seasonal ingredients based Nigiri, and savory flavored Maki sushi is common around here. Most Japanese restaurants in San Francisco are pinned together in the Bay area, while others spread around throughout the entire state. Kaiseki and Yakitori restaurants can be found scattered throughout the state, where professionals and chefs would offer full-course meals in Kaiseki restaurants, while chefs at Yakitori restaurants showcase their mastery of grilling marinated meats of all kinds, triggering our taste buds.
