Last summer, Umami Mart owners were given a daruma to celebrate the Grand Opening of their Japanese kitchenware shop. Traditionally, one eyeball is drawn in while making a wish, then the other eye is filled in when the wish comes true. The wish was to sign a lease after six months of free rent negotiated through Popuphood’s neighborhood revitalization project. And they did it! Umami Mart will be in Old Oakland for at least another two years. To thank the community for all the support, they’re having a Lease-Signing Party with champagne. RSVP to hello@umamimart.com
