From a press release:
“Drink Company’s third annual Cherry Blossom Pop-Up Bar (PUB) will open Thursday, February 28 with over-the-top décor inspired by the Fontaine de L’Encelade at the Palace de Versailles in France. The French fairytale garden will feature wooden trellises covered in abundant flowers including peonies, roses, and Japanese cherry blossoms.
Cocktails at Cherry Blossom PUB draw inspiration from Japanese ingredients, including the Honeydew, Honey See (above), which explores the flavors of rice using sake, Americano vermouth, shio koji (spent fermented sake grains made into a tea, then a syrup), cucumber, honeydew, and absinthe; and the Once and Floral (below), a riff on a gin sour made with Bluecoat Gin, peach, matcha, lemon, orange flower water, and egg white.
The layered, multi-room concept will also feature a ramen room in partnership with Hiro Mitsui, the chef behind the cult-favorite Union Market food stall Ramen by UZU.
Mitsui will serve his popular vegan miso ramen, often called DC’s most delicious ramen, in a room with a giant sculpture of ramen noodles and chopsticks as well as a mural by artist Andrew Funk.
Join Cherry Blossom PUB and the National Cherry Blossom Festival to celebrate the first day of spring on Wednesday, March 20. Guests can guarantee entry to Cherry Blossom PUB with a timed $20 ticket available online now.
