Japanese
A heated patio and a buzzing dining room on Berkeley's Fourth Street, where Japanese technique meets Northern California produce in small plates built for sharing. The chef comes from Japan's Tohoku region, where winters demand serious comfort food, and that instinct carries through a menu that rotates with the season. The Michelin Guide has it selected. Sake, local wine, and creative cocktails all hold their own on the drinks list.
