Eiji is one of my most favorite Japanese restaurant in SF. It’s a small sushi + tapas joint with around 6-7 tables with a small menu. I really like the homey, authentic vibe.
Homemade Tofu. Soft and fresh tasting
Grilled Miso Eggplant. My favorite must-order dish.
The sushi is fresh and good.
Their traditional Japaense appetizer dishes are all excellent. Duck, Monk Fish’s liver and Sesame Spinach. Remember to save your stomach for their homemade dessert:
Mochi Strawberry
Purple Sweet Potato Yokan. Another must get! There’s a bit of the sweet potato texture with the jelly, it’s smooth but not jelly-smooth, interesting.
Yuzu Yokan.
Mochi Crepe with Chestnut. Other than the intimate, homey space and good food, the dessert is possibly another reason why I came back here again and again.
