This will be a multi course meal combined with a blind tasting of great Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.  Price includes tax but does not include tip/gratuity (paid at event).  18 wines for 18 guests - we open one bottle per attendee.  Please join us for this special collaboration of Learnaboutwine and SHOOSH Sushi.

Brian Ogawa and Jazmine Valte have been friends for over a decade and teamed up during the pandemic to launch Soosh, their signature “home-a-kase” concept.  With Brian’s 25+ years of experience at some of the world’s most renowned sushi establishments, including Nobu Global, and Jaz’s creative vision and all-star operations brain, the duo built a top-tier mobile sushi experience that blends tradition with bold, outside-the-box flair. Together, they’ve reimagined what sushi dining can be, bringing the art of omakase into homes, events, and unforgettable moments.

Soosh brings bespoke sushi dining experiences to your home or event space.  Our most popular offering is the "home-a-kase" experience, a seated, coursed-out dinner where each dish is individually plated for an intimate, fine-dining feel. For a more relaxed vibe, we also offer family-style dining, which is a favorite among our repeat private clients. For larger gatherings and special events, our stunning Soosh Bar is always a showstopper. We’ve served events of up to 500 guests. Our sushi grazing tables, a curated spread of assorted nigiri, rolls, and sashimi are consistently a crowd favorite.  We’ve also created everything from crispy rice stations, hand roll bars, tray-passed bites, hibachi, teppanyaki, Japanese BBQ, dessert bars, to ramen stations. If you can dream it, we can create it.  Every detail is curated to your vision. We bring the full team: chefs, servers, mixologists, and more. All menus are customized and personalized just for you.

HOW IT WORKS:

  1. Phase One - we get enough support to go forward.  We take a non-refundable deposit - this is not the cost of the dinner approx. will hold your space.  Should the dinner not hit the minimum - we will refund your purchase.  Should the dinner continue, deposit is forfeited if you do not complete the registration.  
  2. Phase Two- we have reached enough reservations to go forward and have signed the agreement with the venue.  Event is now rain or shine and no cancellation policy is enforced.  We open 1 bottle per guest - maximum 15 guests/15 wines (minimum).  We always aim to under promise and over deliver - and bring back of wines should we have an issue; but our policy is that corked wine can and does occur - see our policy - one bottle per paying guest, and price of dinner is not predicted on any one wine remain in place and are accepted at deposit.  
  3. For some events, we will offer companion tickets (please inquire - they maybe sold out at this time) (only available with a full price companion - you will share their wine)
  4. Once we reach the minimum - we issue invoices that need to be paid inside of 48 hours.  Deposit Price of the event includes tax but does not include service and 3.5% credit card fee. 

Dinner Policy

All tickets (including deposits) are non-refundable.  We can adjust your menu for dietary needs up to 72 hours prior without any additional cost.  Wines can change without notice, failure or corked wines do not result in any type of credit or refund. We open one bottle minimum per paying guest, and can reduce the total number of bottles being opened so that the event does not have to cancel should ticket sales not reach potential.  Fewer bottles will equal larger pours, so you will get the same quantity of wine and we always open the best wines for the quality of the event. Cancellation due to illness is understandable and appreciated, but does not qualify for a refund.  If you are not well, you may ask for the food to be made available for togo or assign your seat to someone else without fee.  The perishable nature of our product requires no cancellation, no credit, no refunds for any reason. Cost of ticketing fees and credit card fees are lost at purchase.
