A summer sake through and through 🌇🍶

🍈🍑🌸 Freshly pressed sake with notes of white peach, pear, melon, green apple, and soft florals balanced by a clean, dry finish.

Bright, youthful, and especially good slightly chilled on the rooftop.

Hot chicken & cold cocktails? YES PLEEEASE. 🤚🏼

🍗 Our Japanese Fried Chicken is layered with spicy cabbage slaw and finished with sweet-savory kecap manis. Crunchy, juicy, a little messy in the BEST way.

Especially good with cold sake and warm weather upstairs.

A softer, spring-forward take on a Manhattan 🌸

FIRST BLOOM is inspired by the feeling of the first cherry blossoms appearing and layers Nikka Coffey Grain Whisky with sakura vermouth and cordial for something lightly floral, balanced, and easy to settle into.
