David Phillips DJs a UK jazz set at Kissa Kissa on September 17th, mixing modern players like Yussef Dayes and Ezra Collective with classics from Joe Harriott and Tubby Hayes. Tables can be booked directly with the venue.
The first traditional jazz kissa outside of Japan, with over 5,000 vinyl LPs from the 1950s through '70s spinning on a custom-engineered sound system. A nostalgic flipboard announces each record so you never have to interrupt the vibe. Just settle in with an East Asian-inflected cocktail built on pandan, yuzu, or shiso, and let the complimentary bowl of house-spiced popcorn appear like clockwork.
Complimentary welcome snack: popcorn seasoned with furikake, sesame, citric salt, and truffle oil.
Split tequila and mezcal with yuzu, shiso agave, and shichimi.
Nigori sake and pisco with housemade shiso aloe syrup and yuzu.
