Our Saké Residency and the History of 'Nō

We are thrilled to host saké sommelière, Jessica Joly from Saké Discoveries in New York City. Ms. Joly will be joining us for a weekend residency from February 11-13, guiding a series of events including dinner and brunch pairings, tastings, discussions and informal workshops. Nō Studios will be active both in our venue and at Anime Milwaukee, where we will provide Uber service from the Wisconsin Center to our location. See the full calendar in HERE.

We organized this residency because it connects us to our origin story, and we want to make saké more accessible. Nō Studios was inspired by an admiration for East Asian culture. This influence is evidenced in the word Nō 能, which is the sino-japanese root word for "skill" or "talent," and in our interior design, which evokes elements of the Asian aesthetic. In 2020, we extended our relationship with East Asian style to The Skyline Bar + Lounge by curating a saké selection for the beverage menu. We are excited to share the rich history, craftsmanship and saké varieties with the Milwaukee community. 

I hope you can join us!
