We have actually gone to Dear Margaret for our anniversary too! Such a wonderful spot.
And we went around and around on which Japanese restaurants to include in the list before going with our casual go-to to try an array of different things. But so many great choices all across the city!
I definitely don't envy having to pick one (non-omakase) Japanese place in the area. There's so many good choices but not any obvious one that stands out. I might be tempted to go with something like Ramen Wasabi for pretty high quality + variety. I also have a feeling I haven't tried some really good izakaya-style places.

Oh, I also agree with Monteverde at #1.
