"Angel’s Share helped put speakeasy-style bars on the map in New York, and the secret is long out — but it’s still worth the trip. Upstairs and through an unmarked door at izakaya Village Yokocho, the mood suddenly turns serene at the mixology haven. Studious bartenders create Japanese-influenced cocktails under a cherub mural, while purists dive into the long whiskey list, including a number of Asian varieties." - Paul Schrodt
"Nearly a decade before there was an American craft cocktail movement, there was Angel’s Share. Tucked inside the restaurant Village Yokocho, this sultry Japanese speakeasy was among the first bars in the city to utilize the hush-hush entrance back when it opened in 1993. Though it took several years for non-Japanese audiences to catch on, the bar eventually became a massive success — today, a secondary annex has opened to accommodate overflowing crowds. Then and now, Angel’s Share has stood for the Tokyo ethos of disciplined bartending, quality ingredients, and sharply detailed service." - Dan Q. Dao
