"WaterTrade is widely revered among Austin’s cocktail cognoscenti, and the Texas watering hole has garnered global significance. The intimate, Japanese-inspired tachinomi (Japanese-style standing bar) is adjacent to Otoko, one of the city’s premiere omakase destinations, and shares the same ownership. Like its neighbor, it offers up a transcendent tasting menu. Only here, of course, it’s all presented in liquid form." - Brad Japhe
