Umamimart turned 5yo this year! To celebrate, we're joining forces and throwing a big birthday bash with some of our closest Bay Area friends: underground ramen guru Conrad Seto; the dumpling virtuoso Gyoza 8; and the awesome Sutton Cellars Winery.

What: An intimate gathering of Umamimart friends -- that's you!-- at Sutton Cellars. We'll serve a light appetizer, ramen, gyoza and a glass of wine. Plus, we'll be screening Juzo Itami's cult classic, Tampopo! All while Yoko and I will be there manning the Umamimart Shop Pop-Up Booth.

When: Saturday 3/31, 7pm

Where: Sutton Cellars (601 22nd St @ Illinois, Dogpatch District; Map)

Cost: $35 advance via Paypal/ $40 door

- LE MENU -
Seto Ramen
Hands down, Conrad makes one of the best bowls of Hakata-style ramen in the Bay Area. He’s been secretly hosting ramen pop-ups for a few years (see Umamiventure #24 and Ramen Night Pt.2). Conrad hand makes his own noodles, brews his rich tonkotsu (pork) broth for 12+ hours, topping it off with chashu (slow cooked pork); house-cured bamboo shoots; mentaiko (spicy fish roe); a marinated, stunningly soft-boiled egg; kikurage (wood ear mushrooms); nori (seaweed) and scallions.

Gyoza 8
Jack Lin of Gyoza 8 rolls out his own wheat flour-based gyoza skins and stuffs them with a mixture of pork, cabbage, scallions, and a dolop of aspic. He then pan fries them to a perfect crisp ensuring all the savory broth remains intact, and serves them with a sweet sesame miso sauce or a black vinaigrette. They are little flavor bombs!

Wine by Sutton Cellars
Enjoy your meal with a complimentary glass of Sutton Cellars' Carignane or Syrah blends. Wine with ramen, you ask??? Well, we love Sutton Cellars and the Dogpatch so much that we couldn't NOT have our birthday party with Carl, Sharon and the gang. Carl's wines are fantastic, and we think will pair well with the meal. He warmly welcomed Umamimart for our Vermouth Tasting Umamiventure, and this is our follow-up event together. We can't wait! Bring cash if one glass will not suffice for you wineheads.

TAMPOPO
We're screening Tampopo! What is ramen without this film?







Vegetarian? No problem. Conrad makes a mean, lean vegetarian broth, and Jack will accommodate with vegetarian gyoza. Just please make sure to let us know ahead of time. Make a note under 'Special Requests' when buying tickets on Paypal OR email me directly at kayoko@umamimart.com.

We hope to see many of you on the 31st.

See you soon, Martians!
