Are you interested in learning more about sake in a private session, where you can ask any question you'd like, bring a group of friends or coworkers, or even customize the class to specific regions or topics?
Sunflower Sake is available and excited to teach. Our maximum capacity for a private event in the bar is 10 guests, seated tasting/class is 25 guests. Classes can be hosted on-premise in a private room at the Olympic Mills Commerce Center, or off premise at a location of your choosing. Washoku catering (Japanese cuisine) designed specifically for sake pairing is available through GinRinPDX and charged at her own rates. Please note that GinRin practices whole fish, no waste cookery, and her menus reflect this commitment. In addition, availability must be confirmed separately.
