Sanppo, San Francisco

This is a delightful, albeit small, place for Japanes food in a cozy, pale-wood setting. One of the best things on the menu is the Fresh-Water Eel, beautifully grilled with a rich marinade and served on a bed of fluffy rice. The crisp, deep-fried oysters have a surprisingly sweet batter that works well with the oysters' saltiness. The octopus salad is a good choice for an appetizer that contrasts in texture and temperature. You may have to wait in line with the loyal locals who frequent this place during peak hours, but the food delivered with impeccable service is worth the wait. Please call for further information.
