It’s inedible and highly elusive — and San Francisco bartenders can’t get enough

For a few short weeks every spring, San Francisco chefs and bartenders race to get their hands on ume, a tart Japanese plum with skin the color of a tennis ball. It’s not because they’re good to eat; in fact, they’re inedible raw. But once the golf-ball-size fruits have been coated in sugar and steeped in spirits for at least half a year, the infusion becomes one of the most sought-after cocktail ingredients of the moment: umeshu.

A Bay Area Cheesecake Sensation Finds a New Home — in Taipei

In the early days of the pandemic, circa 2020–2021, there might not have been any Bay Area food product as wildly popular as Basuku’s burnt-topped, oozingly creamy Basque cheesecakes. Founder Charles Chen started baking the cakes out of his Oakland apartment, inspired by a version he’d first tried in Japan. And for the next few years, it often felt like customers needed to sell off their first-born child if they wanted to get a hold of one. Instagram flash sales sold out within minutes. When Chen scheduled pop-ups at local restaurants, the lines would stretch, seemingly endlessly, all the way around the block.

Introducing San Francisco’s 2026 Eater Award Winners

The Eater Awards are a moment to reflect: They’re an occasion to think back on the best meals we had at new restaurants this year, the bites that made us dance a little in our seats, the drinks that made the tea at dinner even juicier. The Bay Area welcomed a brand new class of restaurants and bakeries to our shores, soothing (somewhat) the ache of heartbreaking restaurant closures that accompany each year.

Sergeant Ma Is the Fun Group Spot That China Basin Needs

In our Dining Reports, we share a firsthand perspective of a recent restaurant visit, covering everything from the vibe to must-get dishes. See more in the Eater app. Chef Jason Halverson and Hi Neighbor Hospitality Group of Trestle, Mama Oakland, the Vault, and more, have opened their latest restaurant, Sergeant Ma, with a big splash in the China Basin neighborhood. Named after Halverson’s mother — affectionately called both “sergeant” and “ma” — the restaurant is a reflection of his upbringing. His mother immigrated to the United States from Vietnam, and Halverson spent his childhood in Wichita, Kansas, eating his mother’s cooking, where “she interpreted recipes her own way,” as the restaurant shares. What that means at Sergeant Ma is a food menu that zigzags between cultural references, both Asian and Californian, with produce-driven dishes inspired by Halverson’s own history of cooking in (and owning) San Francisco restaurants.
