My Tataki Sushi & Sake Bar review: the best happy hour in San Francisco — $7 rolls and nigiri, real plant-based options, receipts to prove the habit.

My Constance Tea & Matcha review: the Outer Richmond shop stone-mills matcha fresh daily, and the pure koicha is smooth in a way tins never are.

My Jane on Fillmore review: solid matcha, great gluten-free pastries, and the best cafe logistics in San Francisco for meeting an actual human.

My Kiss of Matcha review: the SF shop that takes fruit matcha seriously, with three locations across the city. First tasting notes, updated as I work the menu.

My Maruwu Seicha review: the Japantown matcha shop whose strawberry matcha with Hokkaido milk is my standing order — and the milk my body actually likes.

My Q Specialty Coffee review: the California St cafe whose yuzu matcha and cloud matcha are the best treat-tier matcha drinks in San Francisco.

My Proposition Chicken review: the SF spot where the fried chicken is great and the crispy tofu is actually good — not “good for tofu.” Good.

My Rich Table review: market-first cooking, the famous sardine chip, and why this is my special-occasion pick in San Francisco.

My Souvla review: why the SF Greek counter-service spot is not even secretly good — just extraordinary — plus the frozen Greek yogurt move.

My Super Duper Burgers review: the veggie burger, lettuce-wrapped, with hummus dressing — the healthyish order that beats the default. Plus those cheese fries.

My Wise Sons review: the Bodega breakfast sandwich on their gluten-free bagel is the best GF bagel situation in San Francisco. My receipts prove the habit.
