"Guests take a trip back to 1920s Taisho-era Japan when they step inside this thoughtfully curated East Village bar hidden within the suite of spaces that includes Sushi Gaga. One of the East Village’s best-kept secret bars, this spot — decorated with wooden panels and crystal chandeliers — is tucked behind a door at ASA Bakery. The cocktail list includes twists on the classics, from Negronis made with hojicha-infused gin to Old Fashioneds sweetened with sugar smoked on cypress wood. From the kitchen, smoked whiskey oysters make a good bar food as well as the A5 wagyu surf-and-turf roll with Alaskan king crab and black tiger shrimp." - Roxana Becerril
