When Takuma Watanabe left Angel’s Share, a craft cocktail hub in Manhattan’s West Village, he didn’t just move on to his next gig. Instead, he set out to chase his dream. In 2022, Takuma opened the doors to Martiny’s, his Japanese-style cocktail bar in Union Square.
Today on “The Buildout” podcast, Takuma sits down with Adam to discuss how he made the leap from acclaimed bartender to full-blown owner. They talk about Takuma’s goals in building Martiny’s identity and how he incorporated his Japanese craft and hospitality into a bar that already feels like a modern classic.
