Discover Japantown

One of only three official Japantowns in the U.S., the neighborhood packs a heap of cultural vibrancy and dining delights into its six city blocks. Sidestep the overpriced, touristy chains to discover a trove of unexpected eats. On the snack side, mochis of all flavors beckon, as well as other signature sweets like matcha, onigiri, sponge cake, and more. Wash it down with boba tea, or a drink at one of the local izakayas—neighborhood gastropubs with an inviting, casual vibe. For savory eats, the noodle shops are not to be missed. Whether we’re talking ramen or udon, few things are as contested as your go-to noodle joint—perfect for those foggy San Francisco days. Options abound in Japantown, it’s just a matter of finding your favorite one.
