+1 for this. i agree with all of it.
I know it is a bit not exactly what you asked, but i'll also point out Sawa Sashimi in Sunnyvale.
Steve Sawa is pretty animated / has a good (sometimes a bit crude) sense of humor imo, and their Sake selection is pretty amazing (ranging from $60 a bottle to $600 a bottle and up.)
It is more expensive than any of the others mentioned for SF. prices start at ~$100usd per person, and can be a lot higher if you give the chef a budget when you make reservations (pref at least a week ahead.)
This said, sushi ran or akiko's is probably your safest bet.
