The 9 Best Bars and Cafes In Philadelphia | Bon Appétit

"Led by a James Beard–winning bartender, this hyper-seasonal cocktail program fuses American and Japanese drinking cultures and sits upstairs from an omakase restaurant. The bar follows the Japanese 24 Solar terms to guide ingredient availability, sourcing botanical ingredients grown, foraged, or farmed in the Northeast. In a dimly lit setting, signatures include the Kasugai Sour (barley shochu, Midori, yuzu, lime, and Calpico), a punchy yet smooth daiquiri with lingering barley notes, and the Hey Mami, which pairs Japanese whisky and bourbon with peak-season ingredients—recent iterations have celebrated tomatoes, earthy mushrooms, and bright spring alliums." - ByEmily Bloch
