Instead of the usual East Bay Nomikai, this month we'll be doing an old-fashioned Bonenkai End-of-the-Year Party! For those of you who attended last year, you can remember the fantastic meal that Rikyu provided.
We sell out every year, so don't wait! RSVP here: http://tinyurl.com/yjdsesr
Date: Thursday, December 15
Time: 8:00pm (please arrive a little early to register)
Place: Rikyu, Oakland, a few blocks from Rockridge BART station: http://www.yelp.com/biz/rikyu-oakland
Price: $30 for a special "omakase" bonenkai meal (includes tax and tip)
RSVP: Please RSVP by December 11 at http://tinyurl.com/yjdsesr or email communications@jetaanc.org
For those of you who would like to meet for Happy Hour before dinner, we will be at the nearby Conga Lounge across the street (5422 College Avenue, Oakland) http://congalounge.com/ **Please drink responsibly.**
Rikyu is one of the best Japanese restaurants in the East Bay. The chef, Tatsuya Koyake, used to work at the famous Kirala before opening his own place in Oakland's Rockridge neighborhood. Koyake-san is creating a special $30 "omakase" meal for us. Vegetarian meals are also available. http://www.rikyusushi.com/
