Escape into an enchanted forest for a dining experience inspired by wintertime in Hokkaido in the heart of Sonoma County Wine Country. Usu-Zan is the name of a small active volcano in a remote village where Chef Kyle and Katina Connaughton lived in Hokkaido. It was the inspiration for this soulful donabe hot pot culinary endeavor that takes place completely outdoors in the heated open tent environment with socially distanced tables tucked away in the forest-like setting across from SingleThread’s restaurant.
Indulge in a feast for all the senses in this 9-course dinner “main event” cooked in handmade donabes from the Nagatani Family in Iga, and featuring the choice of a Hokkaido Seafood and Miso Nabe, a Roasted Duclair Duck Nabe, Vegetable and Mushroom Nabe, a Vegetarian Tofu, Farm Vegetable, and Yuba Nabe, or a Premium Hokkaido A-5 Wagyu Beef Tenderloin Shabu Shabu. This limited engagement is scheduled to run through March 28th, and celebrates SingleThread’s Japanese roots through Sonoma County grown produce at the SingleThread Farm. Please check SingleThread’s website for the latest information on reservation availability due to the regional stay-at-home order.
