"A native of Kanagawa, Japan, Sako arrived in the United States in 2000, and as a bassist, was enticed by the music scene in San Francisco as well as the relentless curiosity and discipline of Bay Area’s makers, artists, and businesses—values that deeply motivated traditional Japanese artisanship."
"Teaming Up With: Alamar and The Lumpia Company The San Diego-based brewery recently announced it’s partnering with Alamar Bar & Kitchen and reopening its Oakland location with new sidewalk seating. Alamar created a special takeout menu that includes guava chili barbecue-glazed wings, and beer cheese made with Modern Times beer. While you’re there, you can also pick up lumpia and barbecue chicken skewers from the Filipino takeout spot, The Lumpia Company. For more details, head to their website." - lani conway
"Give the gift of local, West Oakland–brewed sake from Den Sake, and enjoy the sense of satisfaction when the recipient’s mind is blown (“it’s not from Japan??”). Better yet, order this set from Oakland’s Umami Mart and the sake will come with a bar of soap made with the sake lees — the solid byproducts of the sake-making process — from that same brewery. Professional sake brewers in Japan credit sake lees for their soft, youthful skin — the kind of skin that users of this soap can (hopefully) look forward to having soon." - Becky Duffett
"In an industrial eco-park in West Oakland, Yoshihiro Sako is brewing genre-defying sake. His target? Wine drinkers." - Janelle Bitker
