Tuesday, September 29, 2026, 10:00 PM - 1:00 AM · Cocktail Omakase, Lower East Side, New York City
Lit Society and SJP Lit host a literary salon at Cocktail Omakase exploring the novels of Nao-Cola Yamazaki, featuring Japanese cocktails, omakase bites, and guided writing prompts. Ticket includes a book and a curated keepsake.
Four cocktails, one hour, and almost no decisions required. Pick your preferred proof level (non-alcoholic, low-ABV, or full-strength) then settle into the 12-seat counter while the bartender takes over. Out back, Bar 7 skips reservations entirely, serving seven cocktails and seven Japanese bites behind shoji screens for anyone lucky enough to walk in.
Rotating cocktail with shiso and tomatillo; green-apple-candy brightness with a Tokyo-trained edge
4-course cocktail tasting with Japanese bites; menus change every two weeks with Bar Libre
Lapsang souchong, cedar, and plum, a smoky, aromatic highball with Japanese precision
Shochu, rye whiskey, nori, and bonito bitters, a Tokyo-meets-New Orleans twist
Seven rotating à la carte cocktails from Bar 7s shoji-screened micro bar; walk-in only
