Sake Noire

Hi! We’re the owners of Sake Noire. Let us tell you more…

Chef Pap Wongsakorn Amorncharoenchai, the culinary partner of Sake Noire, honed his culinary skills abroad and worked in professional kitchens for several years from Thailand to Boston. After returning to Thailand, he founded *Here by Hand*, a chef's table and sushi omakase restaurant, initially in Ratchathewi and later at a pop-up in Bangkok's Old Town. Chef Pap and Quan plan to merge their expertise to create a brick & mortar sake bar fusing traditional flavors of Japan, Thailand, and China with innovative techniques for both food and drink.

Quan is originally from Boston, MA where her journey in sake first began. During her art college years, she worked by many Chefs and Sommeliers whom peaked her interest in Japanese culture, food and drink. She worked in Boston and San Francisco for local Japanese and Asian Fusion restaurants from casual to fine dining until she moved to Seattle in 2016 with her now husband. She stepped right back into the Japanese restaurant scene and has worked with many well known establishments such as Sushi Kappo Tamura, Kamonegi, Sushi Kashiba and most recently managed the bar program at Hannyatou sake bar. Soon after taking the role of Sake Specialist for the nations second largest liquor and wine distribution company.
