@sakenoire_ ✨SAKE X JAZZ PRESENTS 🍶🎷✨

My camping sensei and sister-from-another-mother, Soma @somamutsuko of Kamonegi/Hannyatou, and Sake Noire Chef Yael @nam.revlis are teaming up for a very special sake x jazz pop-up:

✨ Japanese Fishermen’s Feast
📍 Light Sleeper @light_sleeper_seattle
🗓 Sunday 1/18
⏰ Doors at 4pm | Jazz set at 8pm @juniidamusic

After plenty of trial runs at Light Sleeper, we’ve dialed this experience so everyone gets to fully enjoy incredible food, thoughtfully paired sake, and live jazz. There are multiple ticket options, so make sure to read the details on my website before grabbing yours.

This dinner is inspired by recent coastal trips and summer grill sessions—plus a very determined (and failed 😅) attempt at catching razor clams. January calls for leaning into the ocean’s bounty, so expect an izakaya-style coursed menu with small-to-medium plates featuring peak-season seafood: grilled, tempura-fried, and simmered into deep, umami-rich soups.

We’ve got our Sake x Jazz legend, Jun Iida back from his premium tour in East Asia with new stories and sounds. Looking forward to him serenading us fisher(women)! 🧜‍♂️

🔥 This is not to be missed.
🎟 Limited tickets available for dinner only, dinner + show, and exclusive front-row seating.
🏷️ Price is always inclusive. Dinner + service charge + tax + optional ticket.

Come feast & jam with us. Art by Quan & Yael 🙌🏻

Sake x Jazz Presents — Our Final Jazz Night of the Year ✨
Woodfire Blues with the one and only Seattle Chanteuse, Jacqueline Tabor @seattlechanteuse

We are so honored to welcome Jacqueline to our tiny-desk stage at Light Sleeper @light_sleeper_seattle on Sunday, 12/21—just in time for the holidays, and the perfect moment to gather with intention, warmth, and soul.

We’re bringing you a very special chef collaboration dinner featuring
Chef Isaiah @ibruffin of @pizzabyruffin and
Chef Yael @nam.revlis of Sake Noire.
And myself @quanxx
Swipe to see us and the menu ➡️➡️➡️

Expect a 3-course woodfire dinner inspired by West African and Creole flavors, served on Pizza Alla Palla (Roman-style pizza on a paddle), paired with a curated sake list to match all the spice, smoke, and blues of the evening.

Because y’all were very excited about the food—we added an extra turn.

There will be two seatings:
• Dinner Only - 4pm
• Dinner + Show - 6pm

Seating is LIMITED. Both require prompt arrival times so we can serve every guest with the love and care this experience deserves.

Choose your pizza, choose your sake, checkout, and show up looking FLY.

All tickets are tax + gratuity inclusive—no surprises, no random fees. Took me a minute, but I’m happy to finally give y’all a break from the pain of third-party platforms.
Let’s close out the year with woodfire, jazz, sake, and community. 🖤🔥🎷

Reminder that all of this is for the community, from the community. We're just a group of fun loving cyclists that like to see rad shit happen in our city. We don't make any money off of these events, in fact, most of the cost comes out of our own pockets. Our payment is the joy of creating something special and giving back.
