Kissa Kissa hosts the first public listening session of the new 'Verve Remixed // Nina Simone' album with remixes from HAAI, Solomun, Mochakk and more. The bar pairs the needle drop with the original Nina Simone records that inspired the remixes and a custom Sazerac riff called the Spell On You cocktail.
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.
