INNA Jam in its final days Mia Mezcaleria and Sugata shutter

INNA Jam, a beloved jam producer in Emeryville, will close after 15 years of crafting seasonal jams from local organic fruits. Founder Dafna Kory announced the closure, emphasizing that it is not due to financial strains but a personal decision to shift focus. Mia Mezcaleria, known for its affordable Mexican cuisine and margaritas, has also closed its Jack London Square location unexpectedly, with hopes of a future reopening. Meanwhile, Sugata, a family-run Japanese restaurant in Albany, has shut its doors after nearly 45 years, with no online presence remaining. The closures indicate significant changes in the East Bay dining landscape, affecting loyal customers and the local economy.

INNA Jam will continue to sell its inventory until the end of September, giving fans a final chance to purchase its products. Each establishment has left a unique mark on the community, reflecting the diversity of culinary options in the region. As these businesses close, they leave behind a legacy cherished by their patrons.
