Greetings,

I hope you are all well.

For those of you going to Ozumo in San Francisco on the evening of June 20th, here is a
bit more information from Jessica Furui of Ozumo.  If you have not yet given notice that you want to participate, and you would like to go, please let me know accordingly.

Irashaimase!!!

Hi Everyone,

My name is Jessica, a fellow graduate of John’s course 1 and 2.  For
the past 6 years I have been at Ozumo restaurant here in San Francisco.
As the resident Sake Mama, I head up a list of about 90 different labels
and offer by the glass specials each week.   I’ve had a love affair
with sake for over 10 years now and would love to share some of my
favorites.

Please join us this Sunday at or after 7 (or really whatever time you
would like to come)!!  We will happily extend to you a flat 25% off your
check  and I’ll be offering selected sakes at a great discount.
We are in the midst of an amazing early summer menu specializing in yakitori and robata grilled meats and veggies.   Our sushi is some of the best in the bay area. 
I would love to meet you and have a kanpai!  I’ll be coming in to meet and greet and of course drink with you!!


As you will see from the link below, the Bentley Reserve is walking distance from the restaurant..woo hoo.  Just across Market Street.

If there are nervous ones, they need more sake in their life!!

The map is here

SPC Alumnae Dinner at Ozumo, June 20

I hope you are all well. As I write this I am finalizing plans and preparations for SPCSF2010. I have about 50 participants, which shows that despite any economic volatility, interest in sake has not waned.

Also: you will be receiving the regular alumnae newsletter within days.

Most relevantly to YOU, please note that there will be a gathering of all current course takers and alumnae at the restaurant Ozumo on the evening of Sunday, June 20. All are welcome to attend, and if you are anywhere close, please do drop by. It will be informal, in the lounge area, and we will all work a la carte with a bit of a discount. What Jessica Furui of Ozumo (and SPC, of course) has suggested is a “flat 25% off all purchases, plus some great discounts on selected sakes by the bottle,” Sounds great, eh? I will need a headcount, so if you would like to attend, PLEASE SEND ME AN EMAIL TO THAT PURPORT! Please do so by June 14 if at all possible!

Sorry for the sudden notice and not much time to respond, but the date crept up on me. I was thinking I had oodles of time...

I do hope to see you there, if you are anywhere close.

Warm regards,

John
