That philosophy has defined our restaurant since we opened, and it earned Hashiri San Francisco Michelin recognition for three consecutive years (2017 2019). We're part of a small, respected family of Hashiri restaurants spanning San Francisco, Tokyo, and New York, and we're now reopening our San Francisco location and we're building the kitchen team that will lead it into its next chapter.
