"UMAMI Tote ($18) This tote from the Japanese store/bar in Oakland is perfect for someone who’d appreciate cute drawings of things like urchins, anchovies, and ice cream. The other stuff in Umami Mart’s online store is also worth checking out - they’ve got a near-overwhelming inventory of beautifully-designed glasses, and barware, and a great selection of sake and whiskeys (a membership to their sake club would make a fantastic gift, too)." - julia chen 1
