OCHOKO (SAKE CUP) & Sake Tasting

Create your own Ochoko and enjoy a curated tasting of artisanal sake crafted by two local artists.
RSVP 7PM


Create a pair of handmade ceramic ochoko, small sake cups, with ceramicist Kay
The technique of pinching - one of the oldest forms of making in ceramics - will be explored in this workshop. The hand of the maker is impressed into the clay leaving very personal artist marks in the pieces. In this way, you will create a unique set of two ochoko so you can enjoy the experience of sake with a loved one. Or makes a perfect gift for a sake-loving friend!

Sake tasting led by Ken
Enjoy a tasting of at least three sake selections, each curated to showcase the craftsmanship and artistry of sake production. Each bottle is chosen to highlight the diverse range of flavors that sake can offer. While we encourage all participants to approach the tasting with an open mind and palate, we aim to ensure there's a little something for everyone. 乾杯!

*Artsit Kay Kojima
She is a Japanese-American ceramicist, born and raised in NYC. She spent much of her career working for Interior Design magazine but always pursued creative projects on the side. In 2009, she took her first ceramics class, which sparked a passion that led her to become a full-time ceramic artist. Inspired by nature, her functional and sculptural works often feature organic forms, emphasizing the natural qualities of the materials she works with.

*Artist Kenneth Lyndon-Williams
With just under two years of experience in the Japanese sake and liquor industry at Kuraichi, a specialty liquor store that offers hundreds of varieties of sake and Japanese spirits, Ken has developed both a deep knowledge and a passionate appreciation for Japanese alcohol, particularly focusing on sake.

The Floral Art of Tea Ceremony: Daffodils Hagumi (Daffodil "leaf framing") (2 sessions 4pm or 7pm)

Chabana (茶花, literally "tea flowers") is the arrangement of seasonal flowers for a Japanese tea ceremony. Displayed in the tokonoma alcove along with other key thematic elements for the gathering, the chabana style appeals to those who prefer a simple, natural look in their creation. While ikebana and other styles of floral arrangement prescribe their own distinct frameworks, chabana recognizes and transfers the essence of field to vase.

New Year’s “Shimekazari” Weaving Workshop

Celebrate the New Year by crafting your own beautiful Shimenawa.
2 Sessions / Time slots available
4PM: RSVP Eventbrite Tickets

Shimenawa are lengths of rice straw rope used for ritual purification in the Shinto religion of Japan and used to define sacred space. It is also often used in the home to welcome the New Year. Shimenawa making class can be one unique experience. Sacred ropes are believed to ward off evil spirits and keep a place pure and holy. During New Years, Japanese make wishes and prayers for luck to the Shimenawa.

In this workshop, participants receive materials and an instructor explains the meaning of each element and how they are used. Participants make their own Shimenawa followed by demonstrations. But, you’re also free to add personal designs to your own creation to make it your one-of-a-kind Shimenawa that you can bring home. Unique experience - what is better than creating this on Tatami mats!

Instructed by Professional Horticulturist & Floral artist EunYoung Sebazco
