SUMO DRAFT PARTY

Thursday May 8th, 2025 at 6pm-10pm

Don’t know ‘squat’ about sumo wrestling? We’re here to help!

Join us in the Big Boy Lounge for the official Sumo Draft Party

where we will share wrestler stats, rankings movement, and tips & tricks

to filling out your sumo bracket!

Light snacks will be provided to all attendees alongside the return of our

BIGGEST BOY Cocktail served in a sumo wrestler tiki mug & available for purchase!

Join us for a unique and immersive experience in the Big Boy lounge at moto-i, Minnesota's first and only sake brewery.

Led by Brewer Chris Griese, you'll be guided through a tasting of seven house-brewed sakes and learn how each showcases one facet of the sake making process. Limited to 8 seats per tasting, this is an opportunity for a uniquely intimate encounter with our sake brewer.

During the two hour long session, you’ll explore how sake’s four ingredients – water, yeast, rice, and koji – impact the final presentation of a sake. You’ll also gain insight into the methods and tools brewers use to unlock the full potential of these ingredients.

A light snack will be provided to complement your tasting experience. Tables in our dining room will be reserved for attendees to continue their experience.

Each attendee will receive 15% off merchandise including sake bottles to-go, glassware, posters and t-shirts.

Out of respect for all guests, each session will begin promptly at the beginning of each hour. Please note any dietary restrictions when booking your reservation.

Get ready to elevate your evening—literally and sonically. Join us upstairs in the Big Boy Lounge at moto-i for a collaboration with HIFI POPUP x moto-i  in this unique collaboration.  We’re bringing in a curated selection of records, a top-notch sound system, and a laid-back lounge vibe perfect for sipping sake, relaxing with friends, and soaking in the warm crackle of analog sound. Whether you're a seasoned vinyl junkie or just here for the vibe, this is your chance to unwind and enjoy music the way it was meant to be heard. No cover, just good drinks, great company, and grooves that go deep.
