"Latin-Asian fusion bar Pokito is owned by Japanese American painter Jisho Roche Adachi and partner Natasha Otrakji. They opened it in 2015 with the hope of creating an inclusive, collaborative space that highlights the dialogue between hospitality, design, and visual arts, as well as the owners’ various cultural backgrounds. Cocktails such as the Yuz + Me and Lolita are made with Asian-inspired ingredients like yuzu liqueur and butterfly pea flower-infused vodka, and the non-alcoholic section features a yerba mate soda, popular in Latin America." - izzy chen, with warm welcome, neha talreja, bryan kim
