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.

South Sacramento cafe temporarily closes. What's happening with Matcha Cafe Maiko?

A popular matcha dessert spot that uses ingredients straight from Japan has temporarily closed. Matcha Cafe Maiko, which has a location at 6905 Stockton Blvd. in south Sacramento’s Little Saigon district, has temporarily closed. The green tea dessert chain is rebranding as “Matcha Toko,” according to a post on social media. Not just south Sacramento, but all stores temporarily closed on Nov. 8. with Matcha Cafe Maiko also pausing operations in San Francisco. The popular matcha cafe announced its reinvention in October. “While our name is changing, you’ll still find many of the flavors and favorites you know and love (made with ceremonial grade matcha!),” the franchise wrote online . “(There will be) even more of the Matcha Toko experience to take shape in the months ahead.” Alongside the momentary halt, Matcha Cafe Maiko has taken down its Instagram and Facebook accounts. With the new name and storefront designs, the Matcha Toko team wrote that while the menu will remain the same, there will also be “new creations” added to its matcha menu.

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.
