Soft openings: Sake Bar Asoko on the Lower East Side

Shintaro Cho and Yuri Itakura, former managers of 31-year-old East Village standby Sake Bar Decibel on Ninth Street, have opened their own place on the Lower East Side. 

Sake Bar Asoko is now in soft-open mode at 127 E. Broadway between Essex and Pike. 

Here's more about the establishment: 
Sake Bar Asoko blends Cho and Yuri’s unique perception of sake with their adolescent experiences growing up in Heisei-era Japan and their passions for fashion, music, and analog cultures. Sake Bar Asoko aims to educate and reintroduce patrons to the world of sake and initiate newfound relationships with Japanese shochu and traditional otsumami plates with a twist. 
Hours: Tuesday through Saturday from 6 p.m. to midnight.
