Designed by acclaimed designer Ken Fulk, adjacent to SingleThread, we offer an outdoor dining room through May (with limited indoor dining options) that draws inspiration from the forests and scenery of Hokkaido. This limited engagement created by Chef Kyle and Katina Connaughton captures the inspiration of Hokkaido in the heart of Sonoma Wine Country.

The 9-course dinner "main event" is a special hot pot that is shared among your party. Cooked in special handmade donabes from the Nagatani Family in Iga, Japan, our guests pre-select one of the following options: 

Roasted Duclair Duck Hot Pot: $375 Person

Hokkaido Style Seafood Miso : $375 Person

Vegetarian Temple Style: $375 Person

Hokkaido A-5 Wagyu Beef Tenderloin Shabu Shabu : $475 Person

A full menu of beer, wine, and sake is offered as well as pairing options and non-alcoholic beverages. 

Throughout the Usu-Zan engagement, SingleThread is excited to be partnering with our Russian River neighbor DuMOL Winery, whose care for sustainability and their craft parallels our own. We are thrilled to be offering their wines as the featured pairing with our donabe hotpot course.

Dining takes place outdoors (with limited indoor seating available) in the Fulk-designed heated open tent environment, with socially distanced tables, and custom screens. Japanese folk Artist Dwight Hwang created a special "Gyotaku" artwork for the dining space made from ink rubbings of salmon species found in both Hokkaido and Sonoma. 

Usu-Zan is currently offered five nights a week; Thursdays through Mondays, an experience through May 31st, with outdoor seating and limited indoor seating available. Dinner bookings are $375 - $500 per guest with a transferable, non-refundable $100 deposit per person required at the time of booking. This special engagement has been made possible by our dear partners at Volvo, Activate, and S Pellegrino.

As we navigate the rapid changes of the past few months, we have changed a few things in regard to bookings for the restaurant. We understand that the Covid-19 pandemic has heightened the need for more flexibility in our hospitality policies, not only in our physical space but in our ticketing process as well. That said, we have moved to a non-refundable deposit based system in lieu of a full pre-payment in advance. A transfer of your deposit will remain available via your Tock profile should you not be able to arrive for your confirmed reservation. Additionally, we have created a 6-course Chef's Tasting Menu in addition to our classic 11-Course Tasting Menu for those who would prefer a shorter experience.
