"Rintaro in the Mission is an izakaya spot that serves fantastic fancy drinking snacks and other seasonal Japanese dishes. But it's easy to miss, hidden behind a big black fence. Though once you make your way in and past the shipping container-like exterior, you’re met with a serene patio lit up by glowing string lights, and a dining room with curved wooden beams and recessed booths. Let the Japanese rock soundtrack and sound of sizzling meat drown out the “should I post this?” portion of your brain." - ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1, patrick wong
