Ginza
After over three decades of serving sushi, nigiri, udon and more near the Jack London waterfront, Japanese restaurant Ginza shuttered on March 22. The restaurant thanked customers for being part of its history on its website, writing, “We are deeply grateful for the love, support and memories shared during our 35 years of time.” Ginza was located at 303 Broadway in Oakland.

Ten years into pouring low-intervention natural wines and hosting community events in their historic downtown Oakland space, minimo owners Erin Coburn and Sarah Miller are pulling the plug. In a heartfelt email, the two expressed gratitude for a rewarding decade-long run — along with excitement for their newly-minted opportunity to take “vacations longer than 36 hours.”
“Thank you to all the chefs who popped up at minimo, the makers who supplied us with small-batch confections, the artists who brought beauty and inspiration to our space, the businesses and nonprofits who partnered with us on countless events,” the email read. Beyond a bottle shop, the owners said minimo was also “a platform for supporting causes dear to us: we co-organized a panel on sexism in the wine industry, held a seminar on regenerative agriculture, and hosted the Anything But Vinifera summit, to name just a few.”
Minimo’s last day of business is April 5. The shop was located at 420 3rd St. in Oakland.
