Dear customers, neighbors, and friends,
In an effort to help slow the progress of COVID19 our membership has decided to close our doors until April 7th. The health threat to the community (both to ourselves and our customers) compelled us to take this dramatic action.
We are all in this together: “our collective action has the power to slow the virus and maintain a healthy community.” This is the goal.
We don’t know what’s next. Our situation changes daily. Please return to this site for regular updates.
In the meantime, take care, be well.

The Cheese Board will be closed Monday, March 16th.
Dear Customers, neighbors and friends,
The Cheese Board Collective’s greatest concern is for the health of our whole community and to that end we have decided to close on Monday, March 16th. Monday afternoon our membership is meeting to develop our plans for this week and the weeks beyond. Please return to this site for regular updates.
Wine and cheese? NORMAL. Cheese and crackers? BEEN THERE DONE THAT.
East meets/versus west in this unusual pairing event. Learn about a selection of traditional Japanese food and why they make the perfect, albeit unlikely pairing for your favorite cheeses.
The goal is to broaden people’s perspectives of what works in pairing with cheeses outside of the typical European contexts of things like membrillo, fig preserves, mostarda, wine and so on.
Part of our bigger goal here is to bring Asian ingredients and foodways into focus in the so-called “specialty market” and out of the “ethnic market” calling attention to some similarities in production (lactic fermentation, curing, aging, etc) with the cheese category. Even where these ingredients are merchandised in the same place as European “specialty” foods, people consider the “Asian section” as some other entity within the market, it’s own world so to speak. We’d like to encourage crossover. This is definitely done on the menus of Bay Area restaurants so why not at home, too?
Ticket price includes Japanese food and sake + cheese pairing finished off with handmade mochi + green tea.
Mandatory: be curious and ready to have your mind blown. We offer two seatings, 11:00 am and 1:00pm. Buy tickets for JAPAN+CHEESE
