Castro sushi restaurant with controversial rainbow rock has suddenly closed
SF Gate ^ | 7/11/19

Posted on 07/11/2019 4:18:10 PM PDT by Impala64ssa

Izakaya Sushi Ran, the Castro's gastropub answer to the popular Sausalito restaurant Sushi Ran, has closed. Originally called Nomica when it opened in 2016, it changed names last fall and served izakaya-style small plates, mains, sushi rolls and cocktails.

A message on the restaurant's website says the following:

"Dear friends,

Ya'll, we made a mistake! While rocks r a common prt of anti-homeless architecture, this particular rock is NOT. It's a Japanese garden. Izakaya Sushi is a valued member of the commnity & is supportive of its homeless neighbors. We apologize & offer deep appreciation to the staff https://twitter.com/TheCoalitionSF/status/1141401379094724608 …

Tweet at link. Homeless v LGBTFUBAR. When cultures collide. Now rocks are insensitive. Someone ought to tell that to the rock tossing Palis in Gaza and the West Bank. Here's an idea, transfer the homeless on Nancy Pelousi's street, I'm sure she'll appreciate it.

Who believes it was a one-rock Zen rock garden on their doorstep? They should have called it a “spirit rock,” like schools have in front, and painted seasonal or personal-recognition messages on it.

Because homeless people can't sleep comfortably on rocks. I guess they should be able to curl up on the restaurants front door step or he's being insensitive...

Liberalism just cracks me up, and just look at the massive destruction it's doing to society... Which isn't funny at all.

What did this even mean?

Something about a restaurant closing, rocks, and homeless....

Yes, rocks are inappropriate.

I like these better.

Yup. As a store-owner, do you want to hose the entrance by the door on a daily basis, or simply place a large boulder there. I vote for the boulder.

I would never eat at any restaurant in San Francisco’s Castro district—for obvious reasons.
