What’s new at the ballpark this year?

While San Francisco Giants fans still process their emotions over the team’s stadium name change to Oracle Park, they’ll at least find solace in the dining options slated for the upcoming season.

Leading the charge for the newcomers is Super Duper Burgers, which is making its first foray into the ballpark dining scene. The new burger shop will take over the former McGraw Grill space on the promenade level.

A few new sweets shops are also headed to the ballpark including Doughp (an edible cookie dough business boasting flavors like “Basic Bae”) and Dri Dri Gelato, an Italian gelato stand. On the club level, the old Bar San Pancho space will now be another outpost of chicken sandwich shop Organic Coup; Tony’s Slice House is also opening up a new outpost on the club level.

On the promenade level, there will be frosé alongside non-frozen wines at Vintage 58.

Flying under the radar, but just as notable of an addition to Oracle Park, is Javi’s Cooking, an East Bay baking outfit specializing in Argentine empanadas. The shop opened its first brick-and-mortar location in West Oakland a few months ago.

Meanwhile, the Impossible Foods folks cooked up a new chili made with beans, tomatoes, cilantro and spices, with a choice of onions, cheddar cheese and sour cream, that’s on the menu at the Garden Table in center field. The Impossible Burger is still available at Derby Grill outposts throughout the club level and field club level.

Beyond the vendors, there’s an interesting partnership happening at the ballpark between the Garden team and San Francisco’s Local Brewing Co., which created a tropical blond beer brewed with ingredients from the ballpark’s garden. It’s named the Garden Gnome.

The space is gorgeous in its Danish-designed minimalist style of white walls and pale wood, all showcasing an obsessively curated selection of imported Japanese glassware, bar tools, kitchen wares, food and drinks. But guests often want to sample Umami Mart’s Japanese beer, sake and shochu before purchasing a bottle, and permits would never allow it.

So next month, Akabori and Kumano are packing up and moving a couple of miles north to 4027 Broadway. At the next iteration of Umami Mart, scheduled to open May 1, they’ll finally have the tasting room they’ve always wanted. April 14 marks Umami Mart’s last day of business in downtown Oakland, then Akabori and Kumano have two weeks to move into the North Oakland space, a former burrito shop that’s been gutted and redesigned by Anders Arhoj of Copenhagen’s Studio Arhoj and Manual Labor. Umami Mart began in 2007 as a blog celebrating Japanese food and drinks; it grew into an importing business and spawned a brick-and-mortar in 2012.

The back of the new shop — a similar size at 1,200 square feet — will feature a cordonedoff space with a bar, a few stools and a beer or sake on tap. Akabori, a certified shochu adviser, and Kumano, a certified sake specialist, will pour from imported bottles of Japanese beer, sake and shochu with a focus on education. While Umami Mart won’t serve Japanese whiskey on a regular basis, it will occasion
