Most Murakami-esque spot. Order the ramen that's not on the menu, and put something on the jukebox.
Great place to stock up on Japanese groceries. Take a look at the nicely sliced meats.
Favorite sushi counter in the city. Leave the selection up to the chef and your belly will thank you.
Only open Thurs-Sun, but the pretty Japanese desserts are worth planning for!
Great lectures/exhibits/events. Caught a lecture on ramen here that was deliciously foodie.
My neighborhood sushi spot. My go-to dish is the massive special sushi for 2. There's also great little 4-piece sushi ensembles.
A Morimoto ramen joint in my neighbhorhood? There is a God! (and She says to try the fried green tomato bun along with the pork broth ramen).
Solid place for Japanese BBQ. Come with a group, order some kalbi, grill at the table.
The beef rice bowl with startling neon red ginger is some of the best bad fast food you can get.
