Join us in hosting guest Tyler Staples in an exploration of rice, water, yeast and koji. Accompanied by Sushi by Baaska and complementary entrees by Small Hours, we’ll spend the night immersed in conversation, tasting and city pop.

Tyler Staples fell in love with sake in 2012. What started as a part time job at an izakaya turned into many travels to Japan, certifications, and more than a decade exploring and teaching about Japan's national beverage. Since 2022 he has worked with New France Wine Company whose sake portfolio comes to Minnesota from Kome Collective.
