Umami Mart’s Matsuri Party Returns

Every year, Umami Mart throws a huge festivalĀ for its anniversary. On Saturday, August 5, the fifth edition will go down in itsĀ rear parking lot.

For the uninitiated, Umami Mart is an endlessly charmingĀ little shop in Old Oakland, focusing on Japanese beer, sake, glassware, and barĀ tools. Over the years, it’s grown in scope to include kitchen gadgets,Ā decorations, cool condiments, and the like, but rest assured everything isĀ beautiful and thoughtfully chosen.

Expect the same attention to detail from theĀ party, which will feature delicious, in-theme grub from Aburaya, the belovedĀ fried chicken joint; Shiba Ramen, which unsurprisingly specializes in ramen;Ā and J-Shack, a food truck slinging Japanese-style crepes. Meanwhile, TheĀ Trappist will pour Japanese beers, sake, and beer slushies. Emeryville TaikoĀ will bring the live, thunderous entertainment.

2-6 p.m., August 5, 815 Broadway, Oakland, umamimart.com
