"Sosharu" is the Japanese word for "social." The city guide site Melting Butter threw the private party in collaboration with personal concierge app Sosh in a NoMad loft which florist Satamoto transformed into a harbinger of spring.
Above: The February 2 event kicked off a series of lunches that Melting Butter says will "artfully celebrate contemporary Japanese food, drinks, design, music, and culture."
