Castro, San Francisco · restaurant
Japanese hot pot on Sanchez Street built around the nabe tradition. Broth-based communal cooking with proteins sourced for the pot. Sukiyaki nabe with premium wagyu in sweet soy-sake broth and an egg dip is what the place is known for; the menu also covers hamachi kama, yakiniku don rice bowls, and a shellfish udon with soft-shell crab. Sake list runs from Dassai down to a solid house pour.
Grilled meat rice bowl, the lighter move when hot pot isn't what you want.
Premium wagyu in sweet soy-sake broth with egg dip, the signature hot pot.
Crispy yellowtail collar, an off-menu-feeling order worth asking for.
