Intimate Japanese cocktail bar with rare whiskies & seasonal drinks
"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 a mini slice of toast slathered with jelly." - Brianna Griff

"Opened by Duckstache Hospitality (the group behind Handies Douzo, Kokoro, and Himari) as a Japanese whiskey bar intended to complement an anticipated sister restaurant nearby, the spot is said to have one of the largest Japanese whiskey collections in Texas. Cocktails get inventive, with each drink inspired by one of Japan’s five seasons or “the circle of life.” The menu includes a boozy kakigori dessert and playful presentations such as a negroni served in a Masu box with a mini toast garnish slathered with jelly." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Just steps away from the new bar, an anticipated 50-person restaurant will serve highlights from Duckstache Hospitality’s repertoire, including maguro crudo and a special selection of nigiri made with fish flown in from Toyosu Market in Japan, and it will also offer a lineup of sake-based cocktails. The restaurant is framed as a complement to the adjacent whisky- and cocktail-focused concept, bringing more substantial food options and sushi-driven highlights to the same Autry Park pocket." - Brittany Britto Garley
"An intimate, roughly 600-square-foot next-door cocktail room focused on Japanese-style mixed drinks, designed as a cozy companion to the adjacent main restaurant and offering a concentrated menu of bar-friendly libations." - Brittany Britto Garley
