"Fermentation Lab: Japantown’s ode to all things pickled, cured, or otherwise preserved is a natural fit for Harken’s barrel-fermented chardonnay. The shared plate menu gives you plenty of chances to sample their variety of snacks, like the kimchi jeon or the beer onion dip." - Vox Creative
"The Civic Center location at 1230 Market Street closed as of Monday, December 30 after eight years at that address. In an Instagram announcement the team wrote that while the decision was not made lightly, “it reflects a thoughtful consideration of how we can continue to serve our loyal patrons in the best way possible.” The brand’s second location at 1700A Post Street in Japantown remains open." - Dianne de Guzman
"Fermented foods dot the menu of this Japantown restaurant and cocktail bar. While there’s plenty of kimchi and pickled vegetables, the star might be the fermented octopus pasta, with flying fish roe, quail egg yolk, and perilla oil. Add a glass of chardonnay and seats under the grand chandeliers for the full experience." - Vox Creative
"I learned Fermentation Lab will open its second location at 1700 Post Street by early April; although Hoodline initially reported a summer 2022 opening, the San Francisco Standard recently confirmed that all 21 taps of beer, wine, and nitro-infused cocktails will open in the spring of 2023." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Founders Jakub Przybyszewski and Jeannie Kim plan to bring their sprawling gastropub to Japantown, with 1700 Post Street — vacant for about three years — set to host their expansive temple of fermented foods by the end of the fall." - Paolo Bicchieri
