4 days ago: California ABC lists active beer and wine license

Overview

Updated 1 hour ago

Neptune Sushi now holds a California license to sell beer and wine with food at 3015 Adams Avenue in San Diego’s North Park. The state record, filed October 30, 2026, lists Neptune North Park LLC under a type 41 on-sale license.

The record is one approval. It does not show whether the restaurant has every other permit it needs or whether it is serving customers. Earlier reporting described a planned modern sushi and hand-roll restaurant in the former Tajima space.

Why it matters

The license allows beer and wine service with food at the Adams Avenue address, a concrete regulatory marker in North Park’s active restaurant turnover.

Scenarios

1

Neptune Sushi lists beer and wine service at 3015 Adams Ave

Possible Resolves by Apr 30, 2027

Discussed by: Public records and restaurant website

The license becomes visible to customers if Neptune publishes a menu or website listing beer and wine for sale at the Adams Avenue address. This would show the license is being used, not just held.

2

ABC license remains active through April 2027

Likely Resolves by Apr 30, 2027

Discussed by: California ABC licensing records

The license stays in Neptune North Park LLC’s name at the Adams Avenue address. This is the simplest continuation of the October 30 record.

3

License is surrendered or transferred before April 2027

Unlikely Resolves by Apr 30, 2027

Discussed by: California ABC licensing records

The license leaves Neptune North Park LLC’s name before the deadline. That could happen through surrender, transfer or a change in the business entity.

Historical Context

2 moments from history that rhyme with this story — and how they unfolded.

2026

Tajima North Park closure (2026)

Tajima North Park closed earlier in 2026 after nearly ten years at 3015 Adams Avenue. The ramen brand was founded in 2001 by Isamu “Sam” Morikizono and helped introduce ramen to San Diego before the city’s Japanese dining boom.

Then

The Adams Avenue space became available for a new restaurant.

Now

Tajima continues operating other San Diego County locations, including Crown Point.

Why this matters now

Neptune Sushi is moving into the former Tajima space, so the address’s turnover is the immediate context for the license record.

2021-2023

Neptune ownership’s prior San Diego restaurants (2021-2023)

Berkabile and Harrison worked together at Palmy’s in Pacific Beach, which opened in 2021, and Blue Whale in La Jolla, which opened in 2023. Harrison also launched The Barista Botanist and operates Munch and Killer Whale Creamery.

Then

The partners brought operating experience to the Neptune project.

Now

Their prior venues give context for the ownership group’s plans, but they do not show Neptune’s current operating status.

Why this matters now

The owners’ track record is the main public information about how Neptune may be run.
