Ippuku

About

This Berkeley institution commands serious respect for its uncompromising approach to Japanese cooking across multiple disciplines—whether you're ordering a bowl of ramen built on bone broth that's been simmering for hours, perching at the counter for omakase, or standing shoulder-to-shoulder at the bar for skewered yakitori charred over binchotan. The operation moves with the precision of Tokyo kitchens, respecting both technique and ingredient quality while resisting the urge to Americanize anything on the menu.
