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.

Bedazzled dog jackets. Paper earrings that mimic butterfly wings. Burning Man-ready sequin coats trimmed with fur.

California's first pro women's hockey team announces marine-inspired name, mascot

The Professional Women’s Hockey League’s four new expansion teams have announced their team identities, including one marine-inspired mascot for the Bay Area’s team . The San Jose PWHL team is joining the budding women’s ice hockey league for the 2026-27 season as the San Jose Sea Lions , the team announced Tuesday morning. “As we developed California’s first PWHL team, it was important to create a brand that would resonate across San Jose and the many distinct communities that make up the Bay Area,” said Amy Scheer, executive vice president of PWHL business operations, in a news release Tuesday. “That inspiration quickly led us to the Pacific coast, a defining force that connects the region through its shared sense of place.” The San Jose Sea Lions will make their preseason debut against the Seattle Torrent at San Jose’s Tech CU Arena on Nov. 29 before breaking into the regular season against two-time champions Minnesota Frost at the SAP Center in San Jose on Dec. 5. Why did San Jose’s PWHL team name itself the Sea Lions? California’s first professional women’s hockey team grounded its identity at home, placing the Bay Area’s famed sea lions front and center on its logo.
