An Japanese Restaurant occupies a small counter on the upper level of the Japan Center East Mall in Japantown, San Francisco. The room seats only ten guests, and the format is omakase and nigiri only — there is no à la carte vegetarian or vegan menu, and the restaurant does not accommodate infants.
Chef Daisuke leads the kitchen, working through a seasonal succession of small courses meant to be tasted rather than filled up on. His wife Hana curates the sake list, along with a selection of wines chosen for grape variety and character, both intended to pair with the courses as the meal progresses. The restaurant describes its approach as Japanese craftsmanship paired with Taiwanese hospitality, run in the manner of a family welcoming guests into their home.
Seating runs Wednesday through Sunday, 5:30 to 9:30 PM, with last seating at 8:00 PM; the restaurant is closed Monday and Tuesday. A full sitting is capped at two hours for a party of four, and one hour forty-five minutes for smaller parties. Reservations are not accepted for groups larger than four, and the restaurant asks that guests arrive on time, holding tables for up to fifteen minutes past the booked slot.
Dress code is smart casual, and the menu is available in English. Parking is available at the Japan Center Garages, though An does not provide validation. Reservation requests are typically confirmed within one business day, though requests sent during the Sunday–Monday closure are answered after 3 PM the following Tuesday.
