Saru Handroll Bar, located in the Russian Hill neighborhood of San Francisco, is a casual dining establishment that focuses on authentic Japanese handrolls. Originally opened as Kinjo, the restaurant has evolved to serve a more accessible menu featuring seasonal fish prepared in the edomae style with a modern Japanese cuisine twist.

The restaurant is operated by the same team that launched Saru Sushi Bar in Noe Valley in 2012, which has been recognized for its fresh sushi and Omakase offerings. Saru Handroll Bar aims to provide a unique dining experience for locals while maintaining a commitment to high-quality ingredients and traditional techniques.
