Featured Classes

Shochu Cocktail Class with Rice Vice

Join Byron Stithem, owner of Nashville's only sake distillery and Rice Vice, for an exploration of shochu —Japan's most popular spirit. Learn to craft sophisticated shochu cocktails and discover why this versatile spirit is beloved throughout Japan. Byron's expertise in Japanese spirits and cocktail crafting will transform the way you think about mixing drinks. To complete the experience, we’ve partnered with SourceWater to provide a Bento box garnished with unagi, sashimi, and tempura bites designed to perfectly enhance every sip.

Experience the art of Japanese izakaya-style dining with Chef Nick Aguilar from Kosho. Learn to prepare authentic Japanese small plates that balance flavor, texture, and presentation. This hands-on class will teach you techniques you can recreate at home. Sample Menu for the evening includes crispy dumplings, spicy tuna crispy rice, black sesame chocolate chip cookies, and more.

  • Back-to-school Popsicle Party cancelled

    Mother Nature is not cooperating for our annual Popsicle Party. Depending on which weather app you use, actual and feels-like temperatures are 98 to 101 and higher. Under these conditions, we would limit student activities, so, in the interest of everyone's health and well-being, we are going to cancell our gathering at the River Campus. There is just not enough shade and certainly no air conditioning to bring relief to hundreds of USN families. Thank you for understanding. We look forward to seeing you in a few days for the start of our new school year.
