AYAKO & FAMILY KISSATEN POP-UP AT TIVOLI IN FREMONT

Join Sako Gordon and yasuaki saito on Sunday, 11/19 as they get together to celebrate their Hāfu ハーフ (half Japanese) heritage with a Kissaten brunch. Traditionally a tearoom that serves coffee, today kissaten in Japan often serve breakfast and lunch in addition to coffee and tea. Sako & yasuaki's version will offer plays on favorite foods with significance from their homes and heritage, new and old, here & afar.

This kissaten pop-up is unconventional hospitality. It's Japanese, it's American, it will not conform to your expectations. It will be delicious and thoughtful. It will feature a special sandwich born in St. Louis, named for another city, created by Chinese cooks, served on house-baked Ayako & Family shokupan, plus a play on traditional-not-traditional sides, rounded out with a real treat: Ayako's cheesecake with damson plum jam.

Coffee or tea included. Additional beverages are available to purchase from fine bar offerings at Tivoli.

Enjoy some space and time in Fremont with a meaningful meal.
