Poke Making Workshop

Watch a live ahi cutting demo, taste fresh sashimi, build your own poke bowl, and sip a guided sake flight at Umeke’s.

Join Umeke's for an interactive evening of fresh ahi, poke, and sake. Led by Chef Jeric Genavia, Poke & Pour gives you a behind-the-counter look at how we turn fresh ahi into the poke Kona knows us for, and then lets you build a bowl of your own. WHAT'S INCLUDED Live Ahi Cutting Demonstration Chef Jeric breaks down a fresh ahi loin, shares where our fish comes from, and mixes one of our signature pokes live. Ahi Sashimi Tasting Every guest gets a plate of fresh-cut ahi sashimi served with shōyu and wasabi. Build-Your-Own Poke Bowl Choose a base of white rice, mixed greens, or half and half. Pick two of our house pokes: Da Avo, Da Hawaiian, Da Hottie, or Da Sweetie. Then finish it with up to four fresh toppings. Our team portions and finishes every bowl for you. Guided Sake Flight Sip a curated selection of sake alongside your bowl, with notes on each pour and how it pairs with poke.
