July Joshikai: Thursday, 7/8 - Women's Networking Event and Sake Tasting Party
Joshikai is a networking group for Japanese women and women with a connection to Japan. On Thursday, July 8th, we'll meet for an evening of networking, girl talk, sake tasting, and delicious Japanese food at Nombe, a popular new Japanese bar (izakaya) in the Mission. Mingle, chat and share stories with other women in English and / or Japanese. Any skill level of Japanese is welcome, and this will be a great opportunity to practice your Japanese and connect with women who have similar interests. Feel free to join us whenever is convenient, and bring friends!
Nombe's owner / sake sommelier Gil Payne and executive chef Nick Bella have created a special menu just for this event, featuring a customized sake flight and a delicious menu (including dessert!); their regular menu will also be available, with items starting at $3.
Nombe just opened in November 2009 and has already been selected by the San Francisco Chronicle as one of the best 100 restaurants in the Bay Area - if you haven't tried it, here's your chance!
