The Toughest Reservations In SF Right Now (And How To Get Them) - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Verdict: It may be hard to secure one of the six tables at Showa, but once you do, you’re in for a 10-12 course katsu-focused menu that’s unlike anything else in SF. Whether it’s the tofu cosplaying as mozzarella or crispy beef tongue served on sog-defying racks, this place doesn’t miss a trick. Before you leave, be sure to swing by the bathroom to make use of their tray of lychee mouthwash pods and activated charcoal toothpicks. Reservations open up on Tock 30 days in advance at 12pm. Since there’s only one seating per night (and no solo reservations allowed), they tend to go fast. Try checking daily for any cancellations." - julia chen 1
