"bio": "Kim Westerman has been writing about food and wine for most of her adult life. Originally from North Carolina, she moved to Berkeley in 2006 to pursue the California dream, which, it turns out, is all it’s cracked up to be. She’s a farmers' market junkie, a lover of all things tomato, and Champagne-obsessed. She loves to cook with her kids, eight and three, and she makes frequent pilgrimages to International Boulevard in search of her next favorite Mexican dish. She spends an inordinate amount of time thinking about food and wine pairing, often starting with the wine and working backwards when planning menus. She is a Level I Sommelier and a Licensed Q-Grader. Her work has appeared in KQED's Bay Area Bites, Forbes.com, the New York Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, Tasting Table, Fodor’s Travel Guides, and lots of other publications.

When her family would visit her Italian grandparents in Philadelphia, she loved the Italian ices she would get there, ices she couldn't find where she lived in Michigan. With her father as her first investor, she began making ices and gelato and sold them at festivals and events and eventually opened a store in a “Ferry Building-like place.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People loved our ices and gelato,” she said. “That inspired me to create something from scratch that was serving a need in the community that made people happy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her brother still runs the business, while she has since moved to San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lemmer grew up on a 20-acre farm, and growing things is in her blood, she says. During her studies at the University of Michigan, she was always interested in food and worked for a time at the famed mail-order business \u003ca href=\"https://www.zingermans.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zingerman’s Deli\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she also discovered the benefits of eating a plant-based diet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I went vegetarian in high school, and then I got really sick in college, as a lot of what I was eating was wheat, dairy, soy and corn. I ate a lot of processed vegetarian food and once I cut it out, I got better. In looking at the world of food, I realized that people should be eating more of this,” she said while pointing to her freshly growing veggies “and less of so-called ‘healthy’ granola bars.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first, her plan was for a company with a different business model in which homeowners paid nothing for the installation, but she quickly realized she needed to improve upon the concept to become sustainable. While her business has now overseen a number of garden installations in the area so far -- plus in other parts of the country where she has gardening contacts as well –- she said she has 50 people waiting to have gardens installed by Scape, and she’s put together a large network of freelance gardeners with experience growing food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_96069\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-96069 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/IMG_0475.jpg\" alt=\"Scape offers mini-farms at homeowner's front and backyards.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/IMG_0475.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/IMG_0475-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/IMG_0475-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/IMG_0475-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/IMG_0475-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/IMG_0475-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Scape offers mini-farms at homeowner's front and backyards. \u003ccite>(Alix Wall)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The landowner and gardener collaborate on deciding what should be grown, depending not only on what veggies they may want, but what will grow in the conditions they have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, she’s finding that many of her customers are in the younger demographic like herself, since “younger people are busy and are not cooking every night. A share in one of our gardens is a good amount for them because a lot of people say with a CSA (community-supported agriculture) box, they waste some of it because it’s too big and they’re not home every night.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another benefit: Stinchcombe, who said he was pretty indifferent to fava beans before growing them, found that the fava leaves make a delicious pesto, which has the flavor of the beans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of the overall Scape experience so far, he said, “It’s fun.

With her father as her first investor, she began making ices and gelato and sold them at festivals and events and eventually opened a store in a “Ferry Building-like place.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People loved our ices and gelato,” she said. “That inspired me to create something from scratch that was serving a need in the community that made people happy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her brother still runs the business, while she has since moved to San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lemmer grew up on a 20-acre farm, and growing things is in her blood, she says. During her studies at the University of Michigan, she was always interested in food and worked for a time at the famed mail-order business \u003ca href=\"https://www.zingermans.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zingerman’s Deli\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she also discovered the benefits of eating a plant-based diet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I went vegetarian in high school, and then I got really sick in college, as a lot of what I was eating was wheat, dairy, soy and corn. I ate a lot of processed vegetarian food and once I cut it out, I got better. In looking at the world of food, I realized that people should be eating more of this,” she said while pointing to her freshly growing veggies “and less of so-called ‘healthy’ granola bars.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first, her plan was for a company with a different business model in which homeowners paid nothing for the installation, but she quickly realized she needed to improve upon the concept to become sustainable. While her business has now overseen a number of garden installations in the area so far -- plus in other parts of the country where she has gardening contacts as well –- she said she has 50 people waiting to have gardens installed by Scape, and she’s put together a large network of freelance gardeners with experience growing food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_96069\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-96069 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/IMG_0475.jpg\" alt=\"Scape offers mini-farms at homeowner's front and backyards.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/IMG_0475.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/IMG_0475-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/IMG_0475-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/IMG_0475-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/IMG_0475-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/IMG_0475-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Scape offers mini-farms at homeowner's front and backyards. \u003ccite>(Alix Wall)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The landowner and gardener collaborate on deciding what should be grown, depending not only on what veggies they may want, but what will grow in the conditions they have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, she’s finding that many of her customers are in the younger demographic like herself, since “younger people are busy and are not cooking every night.

It was probably a rash decision, but it's one that I’m sure I shared with many others. Over the last month I’ve gradually gotten over my hummus fear, but will probably never want to buy hummus from a national brand again. Instead, I’ve been making it at home. But there are times when it is simply easier to grab a container from the grocery store, whether for a quick snack or an easy party appetizer. For those instances I’ve begun looking towards local options. Plus, trying out a range of hummus products has helped me hone in on the qualities I like in my own recipes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area has several of its own hummus makers, and their products span an array of styles, flavors and textures.

It typically contains more tahini and olive oil (never a bad thing) than other varieties. Yamba has both of these ingredients in spades, and it tastes decadent and creamy. A strong dose of lemon juice balances out the richness. If anything, Yamba is on the salty side; it doesn’t quite veer into the over-seasoned side, but it comes close. I found myself wanting it drizzled over a warm piece of fresh pita bread or a platter of falafel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_96020\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/yousefs-closed.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/yousefs-closed.jpg\" alt=\"Yousef’s Gourmet Hummus\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1345\" class=\"size-full wp-image-96020\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/yousefs-closed.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/yousefs-closed-400x280.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/yousefs-closed-800x560.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/yousefs-closed-1440x1009.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/yousefs-closed-1180x827.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/yousefs-closed-960x673.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yousef’s Gourmet Hummus \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Yousef’s hummus is the most plain of the bunch. It comes in a stark, hand-packed container, and it looks the most homemade. Yousef’s also has a short and simple ingredient list -- there’s not much more than chickpeas tahini, garlic and olive oil in it. Despite this short list, Yousef’s has the best texture and appearance. It is smooth and creamy, with a spreadable consistency. You could use it as a sandwich spread or as a dip for even the slipperiest of vegetables (I’m looking at you, baby carrots).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The only problem? Salt. This particular container of Yousef’s was close to inedible. The extra salt did manage to bring out that elusive chickpea flavor, but it was hard to enjoy. A little research revealed that Yousef’s tends to be inconsistent. Other packages were barely salted and bland. If I could have found a batch somewhere in the middle, it would have topped my list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_96017\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/hummus-guy-closed.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/hummus-guy-closed.jpg\" alt=\"The Hummus Guy Organic Original\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1355\" class=\"size-full wp-image-96017\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/hummus-guy-closed.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/hummus-guy-closed-400x282.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/hummus-guy-closed-800x565.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/hummus-guy-closed-1440x1016.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/hummus-guy-closed-1180x833.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/hummus-guy-closed-960x678.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Hummus Guy Organic Original \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Extra-thick and spreadable, this Petaluma-made hummus has serious heft. The Hummus Guy is the kind of hummus you could eat with a spoon, straight-up, as its own lunch. Generally, its thickness works in its favor; it is easy to ignore the slightly grainy and pasty texture when slathered on carrot sticks or pita chips. But, unfortunately, The Hummus Guy doesn’t get the plain hummus flavor quite right. It is weirdly sweet and sour. A glance at the ingredients list reveals one strange addition: cultured corn flour. Why does hummus needs corn flour? Who knows? It is the likely culprit for both the pastiness and sweetness. The sour, well, it must just come from too much lemon juice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_96016\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/haigs-closed.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/haigs-closed.jpg\" alt=\"Haig’s Hummus Garbanzo Bean Meze\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1318\" class=\"size-full wp-image-96016\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/haigs-closed.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/haigs-closed-400x275.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/haigs-closed-800x549.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/haigs-closed-1440x989.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/haigs-closed-1180x810.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/haigs-closed-960x659.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Haig’s Hummus Garbanzo Bean Meze \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Haig’s hummus is the foil to The Hummus Guy.

However, Haig’s has a serious texture problem. The chickpeas don’t appear fully ground. Instead, they are chunky and grainy, bound together with the fat-filled tahini.

Inside is a thick, cement-like spread that smells exactly like Sprite. Unfortunately, it tastes like that distinctively soda-like, artificial lemon-lime flavor. I could taste a little tahini in addition to the citrus notes, but that was about it. Love & Hummus could use a substantial increase in olive oil and a more timid hand with the lemon juice.

It typically contains more tahini and olive oil (never a bad thing) than other varieties. Yamba has both of these ingredients in spades, and it tastes decadent and creamy. A strong dose of lemon juice balances out the richness. If anything, Yamba is on the salty side; it doesn’t quite veer into the over-seasoned side, but it comes close.

The Hummus Guy is the kind of hummus you could eat with a spoon, straight-up, as its own lunch. Generally, its thickness works in its favor; it is easy to ignore the slightly grainy and pasty texture when slathered on carrot sticks or pita chips. But, unfortunately, The Hummus Guy doesn’t get the plain hummus flavor quite right. It is weirdly sweet and sour. A glance at the ingredients list reveals one strange addition: cultured corn flour. Why does hummus needs corn flour? Who knows? It is the likely culprit for both the pastiness and sweetness. The sour, well, it must just come from too much lemon juice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_96016\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/haigs-closed.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/haigs-closed.jpg\" alt=\"Haig’s Hummus Garbanzo Bean Meze\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1318\" class=\"size-full wp-image-96016\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/haigs-closed.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/haigs-closed-400x275.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/haigs-closed-800x549.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/haigs-closed-1440x989.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/haigs-closed-1180x810.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/haigs-closed-960x659.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Haig’s Hummus Garbanzo Bean Meze \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Haig’s hummus is the foil to The Hummus Guy.

Inside is a thick, cement-like spread that smells exactly like Sprite. Unfortunately, it tastes like that distinctively soda-like, artificial lemon-lime flavor. I could taste a little tahini in addition to the citrus notes, but that was about it. Love & Hummus could use a substantial increase in olive oil and a more timid hand with the lemon juice.

Before there was Umami Mart, the carefully curated Japanese housewares \u003ca href=\"http://umamimart.com/pages/visit\" target=\"_blank\">store in downtown Oakland\u003c/a>, there was Umami Mart \u003ca href=\"http://blog.umamimart.com/\" target=\"_blank\">the blog\u003c/a> -- a space for two old friends to talk about food while bored at their jobs at opposite ends of the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The friends, Yoko Kumano and Kayoko Akabori, who met as teens growing up in Cupertino, used the site to discuss their culinary discoveries after Kumano moved to Tokyo and Akabori moved to New York City. The blog covered snarking \u003ca href=\"http://blog.umamimart.com/2007/07/The-SnarkReport-Moldy-Morimoto/\" target=\"_blank\">on Morimoto\u003c/a>, eating tofu skin \u003ca href=\"http://blog.umamimart.com/2007/03/Yuba-County/\" target=\"_blank\">in Nikko,\u003c/a> and how to survive the rest of the week with just $26 left in the food budget. Eventually the blog grew to 10 writers, some of whom were curious about specialized Japanese barware tools. (America's recent cocktail revival \u003ca href=\"http://www.bonappetit.com/restaurants-travel/article/tokyo-cocktail-capital-of-the-world\" target=\"_blank\">spurred an interest \u003c/a>in Japanese cocktail culture). Kumano and Akabori decided to import a few items and opened an \u003ca href=\"http://umamimart.com/\" target=\"_blank\">online shop\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When they both ended up back in the Bay Area in 2010, they seized upon a new program to move their online store into a brick-and-mortar shop.

And finally, after two years of wrangling with Oakland and wading through red tape, they were granted a license to sell beer and wine at the end of February. Now, the back wall of the store is filled with shelves of imported sake, wine and beer. Kumano, a certified sake expert, is happy to guide you through their large collection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While sake fans can find a wide variety of options in the Bay Area, for many people this will be their first introduction to Japanese beer outside of the mild lagers found in sushi restaurants across the country. That’s because for years those beers -- Asahi, Kirin, Sapporo and Suntory -- were also virtually the only ones available in Japan. The country’s \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_in_Japan\" target=\"_blank\">tax law \u003c/a>required that brewers had to produce a staggering amount of beer -- more than half a million barrels a year -- to get a beer license, allowing a few major breweries to dominate the market. When the law was changed in 1994 (requiring just 500 barrels a year) a craft beer boom began, and the current 200-plus craft breweries in Japan have become an increasingly major presence in the Japanese beer world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t want to generalize, but the Japanese, they tend to get super geeky about things,” Akabori said. “They’ve been taking these styles that are European, or Belgian, [that] have been made for hundreds of years, and they’re kind of perfecting it, or putting their own take on it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_95922\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-95922 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/DSC_0359.jpg\" alt=\"The store's new bottle system.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/DSC_0359.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/DSC_0359-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/DSC_0359-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/DSC_0359-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/DSC_0359-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/DSC_0359-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The store's new bottle system. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Like the U.S., the Japanese craft beer scene includes lots of brewers playing with the traditional styles, leading to beers aged in shochu casks, brewed with rice or incorporating specialty ingredients like miso or daidai. Unlike the U.S. craft beer market, however, the taste tends toward lighter beers. Lagers still dominate even the craft market, and IPAs are rare. If IPAs do show up on a menu, they’re much milder than the hoppy kinds Californians adore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s also a lingering German influence on the beer scene. After the tax law changed in 1994, many brewers learned to make beer \u003ca href=\"http://draftmag.com/japanese-craft-beer-history-future/\" target=\"_blank\">from Germans\u003c/a>, leading to a large number of kölsches and hefeweizens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, beer is the \u003ca href=\"https://books.google.com/books?id=sfvVAAAAQBAJ&lpg=PA36&ots=0ri4ap-2fA&dq=beer%20most%20consumed%20japan&pg=PA36#v=onepage&q=beer%20most%20consumed%20japan&f=false\" target=\"_blank\">most consumed type of alcohol\u003c/a> in Japan and plays a major role in the social lives of city dwellers.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>It started with a blog. Before there was Umami Mart, the carefully curated Japanese housewares \u003ca href=\"http://umamimart.com/pages/visit\" target=\"_blank\">store in downtown Oakland\u003c/a>, there was Umami Mart \u003ca href=\"http://blog.umamimart.com/\" target=\"_blank\">the blog\u003c/a> -- a space for two old friends to talk about food while bored at their jobs at opposite ends of the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The friends, Yoko Kumano and Kayoko Akabori, who met as teens growing up in Cupertino, used the site to discuss their culinary discoveries after Kumano moved to Tokyo and Akabori moved to New York City. The blog covered snarking \u003ca href=\"http://blog.umamimart.com/2007/07/The-SnarkReport-Moldy-Morimoto/\" target=\"_blank\">on Morimoto\u003c/a>, eating tofu skin \u003ca href=\"http://blog.umamimart.com/2007/03/Yuba-County/\" target=\"_blank\">in Nikko,\u003c/a> and how to survive the rest of the week with just $26 left in the food budget. Eventually the blog grew to 10 writers, some of whom were curious about specialized Japanese barware tools. (America's recent cocktail revival \u003ca href=\"http://www.bonappetit.com/restaurants-travel/article/tokyo-cocktail-capital-of-the-world\" target=\"_blank\">spurred an interest \u003c/a>in Japanese cocktail culture). Kumano and Akabori decided to import a few items and opened an \u003ca href=\"http://umamimart.com/\" target=\"_blank\">online shop\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When they both ended up back in the Bay Area in 2010, they seized upon a new program to move their online store into a brick-and-mortar shop. Small business incubator \u003ca href=\"http://www.popuphood.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Popuphood \u003c/a>was offering six months of free rent to a new independent retail store. They applied, moved into the space in 2012 and have remained in the same Old Oakland location ever since, selling a carefully curated collection of Japanese kitchen and home items ranging from delicate matcha whisks to wasabi graters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_95920\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-95920 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/DSC_0351.jpg\" alt=\"The inside of Umami Mart.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/DSC_0351.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/DSC_0351-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/DSC_0351-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/DSC_0351-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/DSC_0351-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/DSC_0351-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The inside of Umami Mart. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Kumano and Akabori had wanted to start carrying alcohol in the store for a while, a fitting companion to their collections of Japanese barware: elegant 24-karat gold \u003ca href=\"http://umamimart.com/collections/barware-barspoons-and-stirrers/products/gold-teardrop-barspoon\" target=\"_blank\">barspoons\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://umamimart.com/collections/barware/products/ice-tray-l-sphere\" target=\"_blank\">spherical ice trays\u003c/a> and cedar \u003ca href=\"http://umamimart.com/products/sake-sugi\" target=\"_blank\">sake cups\u003c/a>. And finally, after two years of wrangling with Oakland and wading through red tape, they were granted a license to sell beer and wine at the end of February. Now, the back wall of the store is filled with shelves of imported sake, wine and beer. Kumano, a certified sake expert, is happy to guide you through their large collection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While sake fans can find a wide variety of options in the Bay Area, for many people this will be their first introduction to Japanese beer outside of the mild lagers found in sushi restaurants across the country. That’s because for years those beers -- Asahi, Kirin, Sapporo and Suntory -- were also virtually the only ones available in Japan. The country’s \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_in_Japan\" target=\"_blank\">tax law \u003c/a>required that brewers had to produce a staggering amount of beer -- more than half a million barrels a year -- to get a beer license, allowing a few major breweries to dominate the market. When the law was changed in 1994 (requiring just 500 barrels a year) a craft beer boom began, and the current 200-plus craft breweries in Japan have become an increasingly major presence in the Japanese beer world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Unlike the U.S. craft beer market, however, the taste tends toward lighter beers. Lagers still dominate even the craft market, and IPAs are rare. If IPAs do show up on a menu, they’re much milder than the hoppy kinds Californians adore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s also a lingering German influence on the beer scene. After the tax law changed in 1994, many brewers learned to make beer \u003ca href=\"http://draftmag.com/japanese-craft-beer-history-future/\" target=\"_blank\">from Germans\u003c/a>, leading to a large number of kölsches and hefeweizens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, beer is the \u003ca href=\"https://books.google.com/books?id=sfvVAAAAQBAJ&lpg=PA36&ots=0ri4ap-2fA&dq=beer%20most%20consumed%20japan&pg=PA36#v=onepage&q=beer%20most%20consumed%20japan&f=false\" target=\"_blank\">most consumed type of alcohol\u003c/a> in Japan and plays a major role in the social lives of city dwellers. Colleagues will typically go out to drinks and everybody -- even the nondrinkers -- are expected to cheers with a draft lager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was almost socialistic. I don’t drink that kind of lager, and I wasn’t used to that when I moved there,” Kumano said. “But everybody goes.

"content": "\u003cp>Alice Waters is well-known as the chef and proprietor of the Berkeley, California restaurant Chez Panisse. Waters is a pioneer in modern cuisine, bringing local, seasonal and sustainable ingredients to the plate, before “farm-to-table” was ever a catchphrase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While many know Waters as a chef of French-influenced dishes, Waters has a history with Chinese food. Specifically, one of her longtime friends and mentors is Cecilia Chiang, 95, owner of the former Mandarin Restaurant, which first opened in San Francisco in 1961.

I’m not quite sure when it was, maybe the first three years of Chez Panisse. Our mutual friend, Marion Cunningham, asked me to go to a cooking class that was happening at the Mandarin. So I went there for lunch and I was incredibly impressed and really admired Cecilia as a restaurateur, or I should say, a restauratrice. And we became friends from that point. Very much the three of us -- Marion, Cecilia and myself -- we spent a lot of time together, going out to restaurants, eating at the Mandarin, and ultimately, traveling together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What was the cooking class like?\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>We were in the kitchen. Her chef was cooking, and they were making tea-smoked duck. I just had never had duck like that in my life. I was just so knocked out with his doing it, how they were being smoked. It was revelatory to me to watch him cooking with the wok and using all the vegetables that I didn’t know about. It was very impressive. It was a demonstration kind of cooking. I didn’t really take a class -- I was there looking in on the class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So Cecilia was a restaurant owner at the same time as you were. What did it mean to you that she started her restaurant in 1961, and in Japan before then? Did that have any impact on you as a woman chef?\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>Oh, absolutely. She just took me under her wing, in a way. She taught me everything she knew about taking care of a dining room and what it was to make up a menu. I think that was the part that was particularly impressive to me. Because I was doing single menus at Chez Panisse. She would think about a menu in ways that I’d never imagined before. It was always about what was exactly in season; always ending with fish; and she was always thinking about the textures. I was seated at her side at many banquets so she would be putting things on my plate and showing me how to eat them in sequence. She knew she was passing something on to me, and I was very eager to have it happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You, Marion and Cecilia traveled together in Europe and Asia. Can you talk about what that was like?\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>It was positively eye-opening to go to China in 1983. We stayed at a guesthouse where Nixon had stayed in China. We were supposedly there for a gastronomic and culinary visit. I realized later that Cecilia was really there to see her family. And she used the idea of this culinary adventure to have access to very special places and for us to have dinner. We ate a lunch at the Summer Palace while we were there. Many times, when we were traveling around, people would stop and listen to Cecilia speaking Mandarin and be very impressed by her and thinking that she was a part of the ruling class of China and following her around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She took us on lots of adventures. One of them was when we went to Hangzhou. There weren’t any restaurants but she saw somebody was getting married at a place she used to like. And she said, “Well, let’s go say hello to these people,” and they invited us to have lunch with them. We had this amazing sweet and sour fish with water chestnuts. Cecilia is always ready to eat and drink and walk and talk and meet. She’s a great traveling companion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was pregnant during that trip. It’s quite amazing that now my daughter has an absolute passion for Asian food. We had gone to Japan before and then to China. Sometimes I wonder if it had to do with that time I spent there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>She was exposed to it in your belly.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>Yes. It was quite something.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>That’s fascinating. About \"Soul of a Banquet\" -- what do you think of the film?\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>I think it’s so important that her life is recorded because she has influenced and educated a whole generation about Chinese food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Could you talk a little bit about what your friendship with her has meant to you throughout the years?\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>Oh, it’s precious to me. I’m just writing a memoir about the people that have influenced my life, the women who have influenced my life, and she’s one of the 10 people who’ve had great influence on me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She has a beautiful rhythm to her life. It’s about how you stay vital as you grow older, and what keeps you young. Certainly, her relationship with restaurants, her excitement about tasting things that are new. She is as passionate as she was when I first met her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This is an edited version of the interview.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/f3fY6sCQQvc\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/food/shows/soul-banquet/\" target=\"_blank\">Watch \"Soul of a Banquet\" on PBS.

"content": "\u003cp>I’m seated at a wooden picnic table overlooking the sunlit waters of Sausalito’s harbor. My paper napkin flutters in the breeze. At a neighboring table, a golden retriever lounges near his owner’s feet. I tuck into a piece of oak-grilled trout dusted with salt crystals, set atop a pile of leafy greens. Like the ambience, my meal is simple and superb. But the story behind how this superb piece of trout landed on my plate is anything but simple.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The story begins with the co-owners of \u003ca href=\"http://www.331fish.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Fish restaurant and market\u003c/a>, Kenny Belov and Bill Foss. Frustrated by the fact that most trout are raised on a diet of cheap, unsustainable animal protein (\u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/emptyoceans/fts/fishmeal/\" target=\"_blank\">fishmeal\u003c/a>) and often loaded with unsavory additives, Belov and Foss decided to take matters into their own hands. They formed their own seafood distribution company, \u003ca href=\"http://twoxsea.com/mcfarlandspringstrout/\" target=\"_blank\">TwoXSea\u003c/a>, partnered with a trout farm in Lassen County, and figured out how to raise trout on a vegetarian diet without compromising taste or nutritional value. Just over a year after the idea was first hatched, McFarland Springs vegetarian-fed trout appeared on the menu at Fish, where it has remained a staple ever since.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The TwoXSea team is now running tests on tilapia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re trying to do a vegetarian-raised tilapia, which is kind of funny because in the wild, tilapia are actually vegetarian,” Belov notes. Unfortunately, people figured out that tilapia grew much faster and that it was much more economically efficient if we turned them into carnivores.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many scientists, Belov is concerned that the vast amount of wild fish caught to feed farmed fish is unnecessarily depleting our marine resources and disrupting the balance of life in the ocean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_95880\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-95880 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/Fish-exterior1920.jpg\" alt=\"Ultra-casual outdoor dining on the Sausalito harbor at Fish.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1173\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/Fish-exterior1920.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/Fish-exterior1920-400x244.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/Fish-exterior1920-800x489.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/Fish-exterior1920-1440x880.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/Fish-exterior1920-1180x721.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/Fish-exterior1920-960x587.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ultra-casual outdoor dining on the Sausalito harbor at Fish. \u003ccite>(Lisa Landers)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Creating vegetarian diets for farmed fish is just one example of the hard work and cutting edge innovations that belies the aura of simplicity at Fish. These big, behind-the-scenes efforts are spurred by the owners’ desire to ensure the long-term health of our fisheries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We knew the oceans were in trouble, but we kept seeing things on menus that were problematic,” Belov explains. “My partner and I wanted to create a waterfront dining experience that could be part of the solution -- and offer our guests truth in advertising when it came to how our ingredients were sourced.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Knowing exactly how seafood is sourced turned out to be no small feat. When they first opened in 2004, Belov and Foss relied solely on the \u003ca href=\"http://www.seafoodwatch.org/\" target=\"_blank\">guidelines offered by the Monterey Bay Aquarium\u003c/a>.

At a neighboring table, a golden retriever lounges near his owner’s feet. I tuck into a piece of oak-grilled trout dusted with salt crystals, set atop a pile of leafy greens. Like the ambience, my meal is simple and superb. But the story behind how this superb piece of trout landed on my plate is anything but simple.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The story begins with the co-owners of \u003ca href=\"http://www.331fish.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Fish restaurant and market\u003c/a>, Kenny Belov and Bill Foss. Frustrated by the fact that most trout are raised on a diet of cheap, unsustainable animal protein (\u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/emptyoceans/fts/fishmeal/\" target=\"_blank\">fishmeal\u003c/a>) and often loaded with unsavory additives, Belov and Foss decided to take matters into their own hands. They formed their own seafood distribution company, \u003ca href=\"http://twoxsea.com/mcfarlandspringstrout/\" target=\"_blank\">TwoXSea\u003c/a>, partnered with a trout farm in Lassen County, and figured out how to raise trout on a vegetarian diet without compromising taste or nutritional value. Just over a year after the idea was first hatched, McFarland Springs vegetarian-fed trout appeared on the menu at Fish, where it has remained a staple ever since.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The TwoXSea team is now running tests on tilapia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re trying to do a vegetarian-raised tilapia, which is kind of funny because in the wild, tilapia are actually vegetarian,” Belov notes. Unfortunately, people figured out that tilapia grew much faster and that it was much more economically efficient if we turned them into carnivores.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many scientists, Belov is concerned that the vast amount of wild fish caught to feed farmed fish is unnecessarily depleting our marine resources and disrupting the balance of life in the ocean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_95880\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-95880 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/Fish-exterior1920.jpg\" alt=\"Ultra-casual outdoor dining on the Sausalito harbor at Fish.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1173\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/Fish-exterior1920.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/Fish-exterior1920-400x244.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/Fish-exterior1920-800x489.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/Fish-exterior1920-1440x880.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/Fish-exterior1920-1180x721.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/Fish-exterior1920-960x587.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ultra-casual outdoor dining on the Sausalito harbor at Fish. \u003ccite>(Lisa Landers)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Creating vegetarian diets for farmed fish is just one example of the hard work and cutting edge innovations that belies the aura of simplicity at Fish.

The no-frills vibe and long lines to order your food at Fish leads customers to expect the prices to be cheaper than they are ($24 for a simple piece of trout on a salad).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Belov says that prices have been a point of contention from the very start, but from his perspective, the cost is warranted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_95884\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-95884 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/Fish_Tali-lemon1920.jpg\" alt=\"Kids’ fish sticks made with fresh cod.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/Fish_Tali-lemon1920.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/Fish_Tali-lemon1920-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/Fish_Tali-lemon1920-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/Fish_Tali-lemon1920-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/Fish_Tali-lemon1920-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/Fish_Tali-lemon1920-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kids’ fish sticks made with fresh cod. \u003ccite>(Lisa Landers)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“We want to pay our fishermen and our farmers well.

"headTitle": "Bay Area Bites | KQED Food",
"content": "\u003cp>I used to be a big fan of hitting up bars that served food on the weekends (and yes, Thursdays count as the weekend). Then motherhood happened. My husband and I did the very common I-can’t-afford-a-bigger-San-Francisco-apartment move to the East Bay. We’re in Berkeley now. It’s great. I still love SF too (and lucky for you I’m not here to make some tiresome comparisons about which side of the bay is more hip). Anyhow, back to beer and babies. I still like to go out, but bars are out of the picture for now. I know I can technically take my ten month old to any restaurant that serves beer, but sometimes I don’t want to deal with the glares when my baby starts practicing his falsetto. And he always practices his falsetto. I’d rather go somewhere baby-friendly, and close. Somewhere that actually has a diaper changing table in the women’s room, and maybe even one in the men’s room (I know, I’m asking for so much). And somewhere that has gluten-free options, because I have \u003ca href=\"http://celiac.org/celiac-disease/what-is-celiac-disease/\" target=\"_blank\">celiac disease\u003c/a>. These places do exist. Here’s a list of my favorite baby-and-beer-friendly locales in the East Bay:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[gallery type=\"slideshow\" link=\"none\" size=\"full\" ids=\"95425,95424,95411,95410,95412,95423\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Westbrae Biergarten\u003c/strong> is not only baby-friendly, it’s dog-friendly too, so you don’t have to choose which creature you love the most. This North Berkeley beer garden comes replete with Berkeley’s famous \u003ca href=\"http://brazilcafeberkeley.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Pedro’s Brazilian Cafe\u003c/a> food truck (they have another location on University Avenue). There’s a very large play area filled with a sand pit and a bunch toys for the kiddos. Many a toddler has ingested sand here, including mine, but they live and learn. Westbrae Biergarten has revolving list of delicious beers on tap, and at least two or three different options for gluten-free cider, including Boonville-based Bite Hard Cider and Golden State Hard Cider from Sebastopol. The Brazilian cafe is famous for their tri-tip sandwiches - but their gluten-free tri-tip rice plate is a great alternative. Also delicious and gluten-free: seasoned french fries and the Flying Pigs: bacon wrapped chicken grilled on mini-skewers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.westbraebiergarten.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Westbrae Biergarten\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Address:\u003c/strong> 1280 Gilman St, Berkeley [\u003ca href=\"http://goo.gl/TJB651\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Ph:\u003c/strong> (510) 647-9079\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Winter Hours:\u003c/strong> Mon 11am-8pm; Tues-Sun 11am-9pm\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Facebook:\u003c/strong> \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/westbraebeergarten\" target=\"_blank\">Westbrae Biergarten\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Price Range:\u003c/strong> $ (entrees under $10)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[gallery type=\"slideshow\" link=\"none\" size=\"full\" ids=\"95421,95418,95417,95420,95416,95422\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Don’t be fooled by the name, \u003cstrong>Farm Burger\u003c/strong> also has an impressive array of beer and wine.

Then motherhood happened. My husband and I did the very common I-can’t-afford-a-bigger-San-Francisco-apartment move to the East Bay. We’re in Berkeley now. It’s great. I still love SF too (and lucky for you I’m not here to make some tiresome comparisons about which side of the bay is more hip). Anyhow, back to beer and babies. I still like to go out, but bars are out of the picture for now. I know I can technically take my ten month old to any restaurant that serves beer, but sometimes I don’t want to deal with the glares when my baby starts practicing his falsetto. And he always practices his falsetto. I’d rather go somewhere baby-friendly, and close. Somewhere that actually has a diaper changing table in the women’s room, and maybe even one in the men’s room (I know, I’m asking for so much). And somewhere that has gluten-free options, because I have \u003ca href=\"http://celiac.org/celiac-disease/what-is-celiac-disease/\" target=\"_blank\">celiac disease\u003c/a>. These places do exist.

It’s a refreshing twist on local artisanal coffee culture, which can be somewhat precious, to find a brand that seems to say, “Hey, we’re serious about making the best coffee you’ll ever taste, but we know that’s a moving target, and we’re learning new stuff every day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_95453\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/04/IMG_2328-1920.jpg\" alt=\"The taster’s flavor wheel, developed by Tim Hill, buyer and quality manager.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-95453\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/04/IMG_2328-1920.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/04/IMG_2328-1920-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/04/IMG_2328-1920-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/04/IMG_2328-1920-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/04/IMG_2328-1920-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/04/IMG_2328-1920-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The taster’s flavor wheel, developed by Tim Hill, buyer and quality manager. \u003ccite>(Kim Westerman)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>I hung out in their cupping laboratory and tasted through their current coffees.

In some cases, they guarantee farmers premium prices based on quality, not quantity. In others, they agree to buy all the coffee produced during a given season in exchange for the producers’ willingness to experiment with new methods; the Burundi bean mentioned above was the first-ever processed this way in the region, and it has helped local farmers throughout the area create a good product using very little of their limited water resources.

One flame runs the whole shebang, explains roaster Eddie Green, and the beans never touch the burner. Every batch of coffee is made to order, so now that there’s a local outpost, west-coast orders will no longer need to be shipped from Durham, which will save recipients a minimum of two to three days. But that raises the question of the distinction between the coffee from the new roaster and that from the old, traditional European machines they have at the North Carolina facility: Will the same beans roasted in different locations taste the same? “Absolutely not,” says Green, and I’m sure there will be a lot of conversation and side-by-side tastings to see what shakes out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_95449\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/04/CCC_Bay_LoringRoaster1920.jpg\" alt=\"Beans inside the Loring Roaster.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-95449\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/04/CCC_Bay_LoringRoaster1920.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/04/CCC_Bay_LoringRoaster1920-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/04/CCC_Bay_LoringRoaster1920-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/04/CCC_Bay_LoringRoaster1920-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/04/CCC_Bay_LoringRoaster1920-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/04/CCC_Bay_LoringRoaster1920-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Beans inside the Loring Roaster. \u003ccite>(Christy Baugh/Courtesy Counter Culture Coffee)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Currently, Counter Culture beans are available locally form \u003ca href=\"http://moderncoffeeoakland.com\">Modern Coffee\u003c/a> in Oakland, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.bluefogmarket.com\" target=\"_blank\">Blue Fog Market\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://coffee-cultures.com\" target=\"_blank\">Coffee Cultures\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/stanza-coffee-san-francisco\" target=\"_blank\">Stanza Coffee and Tea\u003c/a> in San Francisco, but expect that list to grow exponentially as Counter Culture makes its (environmentally light) imprint on local coffee mores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_95446\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/04/CCC_Bay_FrontDoor1920.jpg\" alt=\"Entrance to the new roaster and training facility. \" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-95446\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/04/CCC_Bay_FrontDoor1920.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/04/CCC_Bay_FrontDoor1920-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/04/CCC_Bay_FrontDoor1920-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/04/CCC_Bay_FrontDoor1920-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/04/CCC_Bay_FrontDoor1920-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/04/CCC_Bay_FrontDoor1920-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Entrance to the new roaster and training facility.\u003cbr> \u003ccite>(Christy Baugh/Courtesy Culture Coffee)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The Emeryville facility is open to the public tomorrow, April 25, from 10am to 2pm for brewing workshops and giveaways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://counterculturecoffee.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Counter Culture Coffee\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Counter Culture Coffee Bay Area Training Center\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nAddress: 1329 64\u003csup>th\u003c/sup> St., Emeryville [\u003ca href=\"http://goo.gl/06OuZR\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/counterculturecoffee\" target=\"_blank\">Counter Culture Coffee\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter:\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/counter_culture\" target=\"_blank\">@counter_culture\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\n",

In some cases, they guarantee farmers premium prices based on quality, not quantity. In others, they agree to buy all the coffee produced during a given season in exchange for the producers’ willingness to experiment with new methods; the Burundi bean mentioned above was the first-ever processed this way in the region, and it has helped local farmers throughout the area create a good product using very little of their limited water resources.

Every batch of coffee is made to order, so now that there’s a local outpost, west-coast orders will no longer need to be shipped from Durham, which will save recipients a minimum of two to three days. But that raises the question of the distinction between the coffee from the new roaster and that from the old, traditional European machines they have at the North Carolina facility: Will the same beans roasted in different locations taste the same? “Absolutely not,” says Green, and I’m sure there will be a lot of conversation and side-by-side tastings to see what shakes out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_95449\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/04/CCC_Bay_LoringRoaster1920.jpg\" alt=\"Beans inside the Loring Roaster.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-95449\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/04/CCC_Bay_LoringRoaster1920.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/04/CCC_Bay_LoringRoaster1920-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/04/CCC_Bay_LoringRoaster1920-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/04/CCC_Bay_LoringRoaster1920-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/04/CCC_Bay_LoringRoaster1920-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/04/CCC_Bay_LoringRoaster1920-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Beans inside the Loring Roaster. \u003ccite>(Christy Baugh/Courtesy Counter Culture Coffee)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Currently, Counter Culture beans are available locally form \u003ca href=\"http://moderncoffeeoakland.com\">Modern Coffee\u003c/a> in Oakland, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.bluefogmarket.com\" target=\"_blank\">Blue Fog Market\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://coffee-cultures.com\" target=\"_blank\">Coffee Cultures\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/stanza-coffee-san-francisco\" target=\"_blank\">Stanza Coffee and Tea\u003c/a> in San Francisco, but expect that list to grow exponentially as Counter Culture makes its (environmentally light) imprint on local coffee mores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_95446\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/04/CCC_Bay_FrontDoor1920.jpg\" alt=\"Entrance to the new roaster and training facility. \" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-95446\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/04/CCC_Bay_FrontDoor1920.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/04/CCC_Bay_FrontDoor1920-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/04/CCC_Bay_FrontDoor1920-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/04/CCC_Bay_FrontDoor1920-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/04/CCC_Bay_FrontDoor1920-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/04/CCC_Bay_FrontDoor1920-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Entrance to the new roaster and training facility.\u003cbr> \u003ccite>(Christy Baugh/Courtesy Culture Coffee)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The Emeryville facility is open to the public tomorrow, April 25, from 10am to 2pm for brewing workshops and giveaways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://counterculturecoffee.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Counter Culture Coffee\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Counter Culture Coffee Bay Area Training Center\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nAddress: 1329 64\u003csup>th\u003c/sup> St., Emeryville [\u003ca href=\"http://goo.gl/06OuZR\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/counterculturecoffee\" target=\"_blank\">Counter Culture Coffee\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter:\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/counter_culture\" target=\"_blank\">@counter_culture\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
