Umami Mart

Umami Mart is a Japanese sake, shochu, and spirits bottle shop in Oakland's Temescal district, independently owned since 2012. The shop stocks a curated range of sake alongside shochu, whisky, umeshu, barware, and kitchen goods, and publishes its own beginner-friendly guide, Everyday Sake. It functions as a retail and education destination rather than a restaurant, useful for visitors wanting to buy bottles and learn about sake styles directly from staff.
