Off My Lawn!

Hey you, SJPD, your officer parked on my front lawn.

When I approached the toothy officer he said, gratuitously, “I parked on your front lawn.” I replied, “I noticed. Is everything alright?” He then said, “Just a car accident,” motioning to two separate drivers nears cars parked in the street. Then he said, “I’ll be down shortly.” I wish I had this cop’s badge number, but after reading Metro’s coverage of your leadership, looks like my concerns won’t matter … smile, you’re on camera!

Stay with Me

ZAKAYA, a popular style of restaurant in Japanese culture that serves a menu of small plates meant to be enjoyed with friends over drinks, has grown quickly in popularity in the West. Bushido Izakaya is just one example why.

With a casual setting in downtown Mountain View, the restaurant serves an extensive list of unique and traditional Japanese bites and sustainable sushi. A never-ending menu of dishes can lead to difficult decisions at Bushido, which makes it especially helpful that drinks and friends are part of the plan.

The extensive spirits menu features a variety of sake, a staple of the original izakayas—the name translates to a compound word consisting of “i” (to stay) and “zakaya” (sake shop). A playlist of relaxing and rhythmic instrumentals keeps the atmosphere playful and casual.

There is no real method to ordering at an izakaya restaurant, but on a recent visit I found what I thought to be the greatest hits of this style of dining. We started with the age nasu ($6.50), which consists of several halved and fried Japanese eggplants served in a pool of sweet and savory soy sauce. Being an eggplant fan is no requirement to enjoy this dish. The sweet soy sauce and creamy texture of eggplant tastes nothing of the typically bitter vegetable. Next arrived an unassuming braised pork belly bun ($7.50 for two) made with the highly prized kurobuta pork from a black berkshire pig. If Kobe is the pinnacle of beef, kurobuta is the equivalent luxury to pork. The buns came with a generous slab of the incredibly tender, sweet and savory pork complemented by crisp, pickled cucumbers.

Yakitori ($5 for two skewers), a staple of Japanese cooking, are simply various animal parts that have been skewered and expertly grilled over charcoals.

Traditionally popular selections are often foreign eats to Westerners, such as hearts and gizzards, but something as simple as grilled chicken thighs manages to be a special treat. If you want to branch out from chicken but perhaps aren't ready for skewered hearts, the beef tongue is incredibly tender and tastes similar to any other traditional cut of beef.

On the sushi and sashimi menu, a selection of appetizing rolls and sashimi plates will please any connoisseur or casual sushi fan. A staunch advocate for sustainable fish, Executive Chef Isamu Kanai presents an impressive and thoughtful menu. A favorite dish of the night here was the seared albacore toro ($18), which was generously dressed in a vinaigrette of sweet and zesty ponzu sauce with pungently sweet chili garlic oil. —Jeff Cianci BUSHIDO IZAKAYA 156 Castro St., Mountain View. 650.386.6821 or bushidoizakaya.com.

STEP INTO OUR WEBSTORE Bonobos offers customers a personalized styling session at their brick-and-mortar store at Santana Row. All purchases, however, are made online.

Shop Online IRL DESPITE WHAT SOME Silicon Valley evangelists might have us believe, digital disruption is not the cure-all for all modern needs. Back in 2011, four years into his online menswear business, Bonobos founder and CEO Andy Dunn realized this with the opening of his brick-and-mortar Bonobos Guideshop in New York.

It turns out some people still like to touch and try on their trousers, one leg at a time, before committing to a purchase. But that’s not to say there isn’t at least a little room for disruption for Bonobos, which has roots in Silicon Valley and was backed with funding from some tech industry heavyweights.

Four years after opening the New York location, Bonobos is in the midst of a growth period with its 13th Bonobos Guideshop, which debuted at Santana Row in January, and up to 30 potential locations opening in the next two years.

The only other current Bay Area location is near Union Square in San Francisco.

Bonobos 334 Santana Row, San Jose

With a lean approach to retail, the Guideshop puts an emphasis on customer experience with one-on-one guided fittings and stylings in a casual environment.

Visitors can make an appointment in advance or stop by for walk-in. A couch and seats await with a complimentary beer for those with time to kill.

If there is a sale, it’s still completed online—either at the store, or later, at the customer’s convenience—and the product shipped within 2-3 days of the purchase.

Since there is no need for a stock room full of clothes for direct sales, distribution costs are minimized, keeping the price point down and the focus on customer service and finding the right fit.

It’s easy to see the appeal for the reluctant male shopper, who could learn a few pointers during the process, while also avoiding the sometimes-exhausting scene at larger stores. Once a size and style preference is determined, more purchases can be made online without a second visit.

Visitors to the Bonobos Guideshop at Santana Row will find a modest space with the company’s signature washed chinos covering a table with various colors and patterns, a variety of button-down shirts and blazers cover one wall, while another small section caters to summertime plans with bright swimwear patterns.

The chinos date back to the company’s origin, where Dunn, living in Atherton while working on an MBA at Stanford, went into business with his classmate Brian Spaly, who started out by self-tailoring his khakis with his girlfriend’s sewing machine for a better fit. Bonobos now accommodates most wardrobe essentials with fashion-forward designs, and plans are in motion to expand its existing golf line, Maide, and women’s line, Ayr.—Matt Crawford

BIG BROTHER ‘Citizenfour’ is a justly Oscar-nominated spine-chiller about the exposure of the surveillance state.

Spilled Beans THE MORE PARANOID you are about surveillance, the scarier Citizenfour gets.

Director Laura Poitras had directed two documentaries on the war on terror; she relocated to Berlin to avoid interrogation every time she crossed the U.S. border.

There, she was contacted online by a man soon to be world famous, a security technician hiding under a pseudonym.

Edward Snowden was a Hawaii-based contractor at Booz Allen working for the NSA: in his words here, he was “getting paid to design methods to increase state powers.” Citizenfour records the interviews Poitras and journalist Glenn Greenwald conducted over the course of a week in June 2013 in a Hong Kong hotel room with the whistleblower Snowden.

Watching Citizenfour means being on scene as the Snowden story breaks. Snowden is very cagey, very much in control of the story, directing how far he wants to go and what to reveal.

“I feel the modern media has a big focus on personalities,” he says, lolling on the hotel bed in a T-shirt and jeans. “I don’t have any experience with media, how this works. …”

My own experience tells me to beware of people who say this kind of thing, because they inevitably have a very clear idea of how they want to be presented. Greenwald and Poitras’ nigh-real time interviews with Snowden show their admiration for him,

and this admiration may have fogged their vision a little.

Ultimately, the paranoia is justified, when the U.S. government unleashes some of the harassment and threats an outraged security state reserves for those who snitch.

Poitras cuts to surveillance expert Jacob Appelbaum, explaining to protesters organizing for Occupy Wall Street the concept of “linkability”— how paying for coffee Citizenfour with a cellphone tells the world where R; 114 Min. you’ve been and who Camera 12, you might have been San Jose seen with. She includes a sidebar on Jewel v. NSA, a class action case about data mining currently dawdling through the courts.

NSA director Keith Alexander is seen on the witness stand, denying the massiveness of the information collection carried out by his agency. However, one of Alexander’s leaked communiques describes his daydream of a “summer project” to collect all the information all the time. Citizenfour observes sinister listening bases on the English seaside, as well as the fortress-like headquarters the NSA is constructing in Bluffdale, Utah, where a vast repository of information will be held. In short, Poitras shows us the face of the future, and it isn’t pretty.—Richard von Busack

PURE ABSTRACTION A screenshot from the video for ‘Captured,’ the first song from Eric Victorino’s new solo project, Gestalt.

Victorino Goes Solo ERIC VICTORINO, frontman of San Jose electropop duo The Limousines and the recently reunited Strata, has released the first single from his new solo project, Gestalt.

The gloomy, downtempo IDM track is titled “Captured,” and was uploaded to YouTube last week. The video was directed by David Dutton, who also directed the clips for “The Future” and “Internet Killed The Video Star” by The Limousines.

“I think part of what this project is going to be about is not really sitting down and focusing so much on meaning,” Victorino says. “That’s implied in Gestalt itself. I’m not really sitting down and saying I’m writing a song about this particular situation. It’s more like about a couple lines about a feeling.”

As such, Victorino says, he wanted the video for “Captured” to be as abstract as possible. He didn’t want the video to tell a story. He just wanted “something mesmerizing,” which would allow the viewer to get lost in the sounds and his lyrics, which he delivers in a hushed, breathy tone, unlike anything he’s done in Strata or The Limos.

“It’s something that I always admired when I hear someone else singing that way,” Victorino says of his vocal delivery on the new song. He says he plans to continue singing that way on all of his Gestalt material. “Not to take anything away from really yelping it out, but I think there’s something to be said for practicing subtlety.”

Victorino says that he feels more at home making music as Gestalt than he has ever felt making music in any of his other projects.

“I sort of wish I’d always been doing this,” he says—quickly adding that he is very proud of the music he made in his previous projects and insisting that he plans to continue making music with his Limousines partner, Giovanni Giusti. “I just wish I always had the confidence to do something like this.”

The singer explains that because he never considered himself a musician—“I’m not a guitar player, I’m not a drummer”—he always felt the need to collaborate with someone. While he is still collaborating with producers on Gestalt, this time he gets the final say in everything, and so far he’s been thrilled with the results.

“I’ve listened to the song on repeat for like a day before,” he says. “I don’t think I’ve ever done that with any music I’ve ever made.” Victorino says he thinks Gestalt is different because it really captures who he truly is.

“I can be jokey and I can be dark,” he explains, “but not all the time. The part of me that never goes away is wherever this music is coming from.” —Nick Veronin
