We’re excited to announce the next installment of our Sake class series!

Join us at O-Ku D.C. for an immersive, educational experience where you’ll have the opportunity to sample an exclusive selection of sake, alongside small bites and sashimi pairings. On Wednesday, February 19th at 6:30pm O-Ku’s Beverage Director, Alfred Stovall, will lead an intimate private group in a sake class where guests will learn about the popular Japanese spirit, sampling three different types of sake paired with samples of three of the restaurant’s most popular sushi and sashimi dishes.

The cost of the event is $65 per person and includes a welcome cocktail with small bites, three sake pours, three sashimi pairings, and an engaging educational experience with the O-Ku team. Please note that the food pairings are hors d'oeuvre size, and while the class does not include a full meal, guests are invited to stay for dinner and will receive a 20% discount on their bill.
