"One of Texas’s largest Japanese whisky bars is now tucked into an alleyway in Autry Park, offering an intimate, speakeasy-style retreat with a menu that includes cocktails inspired by Japan’s six seasons. Standouts include the Natsu or Summer cocktail, which features lemon verbena and black lemon bitters and the Fuyu or Winter, a refreshing blend of honey water, ginger bitters, and soda. Signature martinis, made with your choice of dry or umami-forward vermouth, include the El (Eternity) featuring A5 wagyu and caramelized mushrooms, while sweeter options include a boozy Kakigori with hand-cranked shaved ice and an IMO Negroni served in a Masu box with mini slice of jelly-slathered toast." - Marcy de Luna, Brittany Britto Garley
