OMOTENASHI COCKTAIL BAR
Tucked within Black Pearl, a discreet speakeasy dedicated to the art of hospitality and the craft of exceptional cocktails, a place to slow down, connect, and linger over the glass.
The Omotenashi Cocktail Bar was inspired by the Japanese philosophy of Omotenashi, representing thoughtful and wholehearted hospitality. Our cocktail program focuses on precision, balance, and creativity. Each drink is thoughtfully designed and carefully executed, often featuring house-made ingredients, seasonal elements, and techniques that highlight craftsmanship and flavor.
SMALL PLATES & APPETIZERS
Rather than a full dinner menu, the Omotenashi Bar offers a rotating selection of seasonal small plates, designed to complement the cocktail experience and evolve with the seasons.
A HIDDEN BAR, QUIETLY KEPT
A few notes so your evening at the bar unfolds as intended. The room is small, the pace is unhurried, and the focus is the glass in front of you.
THE SPACE
The Omotenashi Bar is a discreet, intimate room hidden within Black Pearl. Seating is limited and the atmosphere is kept quiet on purpose, a place for conversation, not a crowd.
Whether you're opening the evening with a drink or closing the night with one more round, the bar is built to be lingered over.
THE MENU
The bar serves a seasonally driven, Japanese-inspired cocktail program alongside a rotating selection of small plates, appetizers only. The food program is designed to complement the cocktails, not replace the full dining room menu.
For the complete Itameshi menu, reserve the main dining room instead.
