Our conversation this week is with Sylvan Mishima Bracket, chef and owner of Rintaro in San Francisco's mission district.  Sylvan went to college in Portland, attending Reed College, and then began working at Portland area restaurants, including Genoa with Cathy Whims. 

In 2007, Sylvan first started a catering company turned bento shop - before opening his acclaimed Rintaro in late 2014.  

Hear about Sylvan's upbringing in Northern California, his time in Portland and how he created Rintaro the restaurant and in turn, Rintaro the cook book.

His new book: Rintaro: Japanese Food from an Izakaya in California comes out October 10th.

And don't miss Sylvan at  book event at Powell's Books on October 14th at 3pm.
