Directly connected from Tennoji Station and Abeno Station, I visited my favorite "BAR Arcobaleno" after a long time ❀.(*´▽`*)❀. It's an authentic yet casual Italian BAR with a cozy atmosphere•*¨*•.¸¸☆*･ﾟ They offer a wide range of Italian wines, as well as Aperol, Campari, and Spritzers made with white wine. They also have seasonal dessert cocktails and non-alcoholic cocktails, making it a place where you can casually drop by like a cafe♡ Spring is the busiest season for my work. I hadn't been able to visit for a while, but I was craving Nakajima-kun's cocktails〜。。。_(:3｣ ∠ )_◉ Spring Chocolate Cocktail Campfire Apple Cinnamon Every year, I look forward to Arcobaleno's chocolate cocktails. This year, it was a bittersweet Choccolata with a burnt finish♡ It's rich and thick, more like eating with a spoon than drinking. The alcohol content is strong, so sipping it slowly is just right(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ And then, the Apple Cinnamon cocktail, rich in vitamin C for beauty and health(≧∇≦)b They say an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Don't want to lose my job~(•ᴗ•; ) The marshmallow on the toothpick is meant to resemble roasted marshmallows eaten while camping. The attention to detail is amazing!! Lastly, the Spritzer, a classic Italian cocktail made with white wine and soda✩.*˚◉ Refreshing Lime Spritzer At Arcobaleno, they top it with homemade dried lime and mint for an extra touch. Even when adding Aperol to make it orange. The young bartenders at Arcobaleno always make me feel special with their unique cocktails. I always leave feeling energized and grateful♡ Thank you as always! Bon appétit(*´▽`人) ===========

It's an authentic bar! I've had my eye on it since it's close to my workplace. The place is always busy with lots of customers, making it easy to go on a date or enjoy a drink alone. I think it's the only place in Tennoji where you can enjoy high-quality cocktails without a cover charge. The cost performance is great, and I've tried the same cocktail at different places, but this bar had the best taste. The only downside was when I asked the bartender a question, I received a confusing response. We couldn't quite understand each other... (but I could tell there was no ill intent, so it's okay). The bartender was considerate of other customers, which was nice to see. I think their skills are top-notch.

On the 3rd day of the New Year, I wandered around with a Seishun 18 ticket and visited Bar alcobareno for the first shrine visit during the day. It was open even during the New Year. This was my first alcohol of the year. The bar was located on the south side of Abe-no-hashi station, on the 2nd floor of a building. I arrived before 4 pm. There were two regular customers already there, so I sat at the far end. First, I had a Gin and Tonic, which was delicious since it had been a while. I drank it all at once. They had a menu for both alcohol and food, and I was admiring the appetizing dishes, but I got too drunk and forgot to order. They had some unique cocktails as well, which I should have tried. I ordered a Lemoncello Soda, which I wanted to drink, and it was also delicious. For my final drink, I had an Absinthe with soda, which is rare to find in bars. It was effective. Absinthe usually has a slight sweetness, but this one was clear and not sweet. The owner, Mr. Ayukawa, had an original cocktail called "Ake Roku" which was selected for the Cocktail Award 2022. Congratulations. I only remembered my forgotten order when I was on the train. Thank you for the meal.

Today is the day we reserved to enjoy sushi at the popular sushi restaurant "Etchuya" in Tenkachaya, Kyoto with our foodie friend. We booked a reservation for 4 people at the counter for next time. Before the sushi, we decided to have a pre-drink, so three of us gathered at the bar "alcobareno" in Abeno at 3:30 pm. I took the Osaka Metro Tanimachi Line to Tennoji, while my friend from Kyoto met at Nankai Namba Station and then took the Osaka Metro Midosuji Line to Tennoji, where we all met at the bar. The other person will meet us at Tenkachaya Station at 5:50 pm, so let's have a light drink until then. I arrived 10 minutes early in front of the bar located behind "Abeno Harukas" and "Kintetsu Abenobashi Station," but the other two were not coming. They messaged me that they were already drinking, so I hurried up the stairs and opened the door to the bar "alcobareno." My friend who lives nearby praised the authentic atmosphere and stylish casual cafe-like setting of the Italian bar. We sat at the counter and ordered the Italian Mojito for 1694 yen. Even though their glasses were almost empty, they resisted getting a refill as they planned to drink a lot during the sushi meal later. The Italian Mojito is made with the aromatic and refined Bacardi 8 rum, with a coffee-like color. It has a perfect balance of sweetness from the Italian knot soda and a slightly bitter taste, combined with the refreshing mint and lime. It's a sophisticated cocktail for adults. After about 40 minutes, we left the bar and took the Osaka Metro Midosuji Line to Dobutsuen-mae Station for a transfer to the Sakaisuji Line, heading one stop to Tenkachaya. Bon appétit!

I had always wanted to come here during the day! At night, I enjoy sushi at Tenka Chaya with my foodie friends, indulging in a feast. But before that, let's have a few drinks here first. I'll pick up a lost kitten near Nankai Namba Station and head to Tennoji by subway. Without any doubts, we get off at Dobutsuen-mae and make another mistake. Meeting up with another person at the restaurant, I feel like having a lovely cocktail here. I go for an Italian Mojito, which has Italian cola as the soda. It's a brown Mojito, and when I take a sip, I can't help but exclaim how delicious it is. The refreshing scent of mint, slightly sweet, and very tasty. Topped with a dried lime, it looks beautiful in the glass. The other person arrives late, but we both end up ordering the same Italian Mojito that I recommended. We toast with three people, but I have to stop at one drink because I have plans afterward. Thank you for the delicious and enjoyable time. Despite it being daytime, the place was almost full. It was a sophisticated and enjoyable moment with a cocktail during the day.

After enjoying sushi with my wife at Shitenno-ji Temple, we wanted to have a few more drinks, so we decided to visit this bar. I had been following "Arcobaleno" on Tabelog, as someone I follow had been there a few times. The fact that this place is non-smoking is really great for us, as we are not fans of cigarette smoke. The location is also very convenient, just a short walk from Tennoji Station, so we wouldn't have to worry about missing the last train. When we walked up the stairs and entered the bar, the atmosphere was really nice. It felt like a true bar experience. It reminded me of my 20s when I used to try to act sophisticated at bars in Ginza, Tokyo. Even though I've aged quite a bit since then, the people sitting next to me don't seem to change much. It's nice to have some variety once in a while...I'll stop there before I get a punch from the person next to me. For my first drink, I ordered a Mojito, and my wife ordered a Sidecar. I was a bit surprised when the Mojito came out as a dark liquid. The reason for the dark color was the dark rum, if I remember correctly. It was really delicious. The Sidecar is a classic cocktail, but it had been so long since I had one that I couldn't remember the base spirit, so I had to look it up. It turned out to be brandy. Even though it's supposed to have a high alcohol content, it went down smoothly. I still wanted more to drink, so I decided to order another one. The Martini is the epitome of cocktails. As I watched the bartender stir, I thought to myself, "The spoon should always be turned inward." If I were to share this piece of trivia with the woman sitting next to me, would she be pleased or totally put off? The bartender served the vermouth and gin separately, a style I had never seen before. He suggested adding the olive-infused vermouth to the gin and adjusting it to my liking. It was a unique approach, and adding the vermouth definitely made it easier to drink. It was quite interesting, but since I had leftover vermouth, I'll order a regular Martini next time. We also ordered potato salad as a snack. It was moist and more like mashed potatoes than traditional potato salad. We enjoyed it on premium crackers. Due to the location in Tennoji, the clientele seemed to be on the younger side. However, everyone spoke in a lower tone and conducted themselves like adults. (Although we in our 50s might have been the loudest...) We would love to visit again. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

I've been to the bar at night, but I've always wanted to go during the day, and finally after two years, it happened! I went out for pre-drinks in Minami before heading out. Met up with a regular customer, Yuchan, and someone who was lost in Osaka. We met at Namba station, and almost ended up walking 15 minutes from Namba to JR Tennoji station by mistake! It's far from Namba to Tennoji, right? But we made it safely to Tennoji from Namba. Yuchan was already there, enjoying some hot wine, while I tried a cocktail called Wisteria by Nakajima-kun. It won the Cocktail Award 2021 and it was delicious! Melochi wasn't feeling well, so she had a lighter drink. Cheers to finally making it to this day that I've been waiting for! I had just one drink and still had time before the night session, so I went back to the hotel to rest before calling for a servant (?) and heading to see the Christmas illuminations on Midosuji. A wonderful start to the day!

It's been a while since my last visit. I went with my good friend and fellow foodie reviewer, Yu-chan, to Alcobareno, her favorite restaurant. This time, the bartender Nakashima was selected as a finalist in the Cocktail Awards Top 10, and he was the only one to receive the Excellence Award. Yu-chan was so happy that she even sent me a message about it a while back. This time, I wanted to try some frozen cocktails, so I left it all up to the bartender. The cocktails ranged from around 1200 yen, and each one was so delicious that I could have kept drinking more. When we visited, the bartender was busy by himself, but he still managed to offer us a complimentary glass of sparkling wine because it was taking a bit longer. This kind of thoughtfulness must come from the owner's teachings, and it made our experience even more enjoyable. We had to call it a night after that, but Yu-chan gave me a lovely souvenir on our way out. I'll be sure to review that next time. Thank you as always, Yu-chan, for a wonderful time.

After enjoying yakiniku, I decided to explore the area near Abenobashi Station and found a great bar to continue drinking. The interior of the bar was spacious, with a well-placed bar counter and table seating. There were many unique cocktails available, but I was particularly drawn to the coffee cocktail. The Espresso Martini, made with vodka, espresso, sugar, and grapefruit peel, was a delightful surprise. The drink had a beer-like foam on top and a lovely coffee aroma. The taste was a perfect balance of coffee bitterness and powdered sugar sweetness. Delicious! I didn't know such cocktails existed. I would love to visit this bar again earlier in the day to try more of their offerings.

Having a great time with my friend Yu-chan, we went bar hopping in Abeno Bridge! We ended our night at her favorite place, a high-class spot near Kintetsu Abeno Bridge that oozes sophistication inside. I tried a cocktail that was like iced tea, with a refreshing lemon aroma and no sourness, just the way I like it. For snacks, we had a cheese platter that made room for more drinks! Yu-chan recommended a cocktail based on her image of me, and it turned out to be a refreshing honey lemon concoction. It was fun chatting with the bartender and enjoying the drinks. Thanks to Yu and her partner for the great suggestion. I had a blast and can't wait to come back here again! Thank you for the delicious meal!

I visited this bar that opens from 2 pm during the day, which I thought had a great vibe. The atmosphere is stylish and the staff is friendly as rumored. I enjoyed some sparkling wine and delicious ham while sitting on the chic sofa. The place seems to have good deals, and I tried a refreshing berry cocktail recommended by the regular menu. It was delicious! I will definitely visit again due to the great location, convenience, and quality. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

A bar that opens from noon. It has a lovely atmosphere without being too formal, and the bartender is friendly and welcoming. For my first drink, I had champagne. It was delicious! The prosciutto had a nice balance of saltiness and richness, perfect with the drinks. So, I decided to have another drink. This time, I asked for a berry cocktail recommended by the bartender. It was so tasty and refreshing, with a nice texture from the berry pulp. I loved it! My friend tried a frozen peach cocktail (I didn't really listen to the details). I had a sip and it was also really good, with a rose blooming inside the glass as a nice touch. I can't explain the drinks well, but I understand why this place has good reviews. I will definitely visit again.

Second time, this time I went alone! While drinking alone at Moritaya, I received a message from a regular customer recommending me to come here. So, I resisted the temptation of the yakisoba at Moritaya and came over here. I sat at the end of the counter, thinking about what to drink. Since it's a cocktail bar, I asked for a recommendation and got the Hugo for 1300 yen. It's a cocktail made with elderflower liqueur and topped with bubbles. It's sweet, refreshing, and very delicious. A happy moment! Nakajima-san returned from his break, and he recommended trying a whisky tasting with Dewar's 12, 15, and 18 years old. We started with the straight 12-year-old, which had a woody aroma and was easy to drink. Adding a little water brought out more aroma and made it softer, which I found more delicious. We had a good time playing around with the drinks. I should probably stop here for today. Tomorrow night, I have a dinner reservation for kaiseki cuisine, so I need to take care of myself. As I left the bar, I thought about getting takoyaki for a late-night snack, but the wait was too long, so I gave up. However, when I arrived at the station after a thirty-minute train ride, I couldn't resist the smell of takoyaki and ended up buying some from Shanbo Takoyaki at Momoyamadai Station on my way home. Ah, I drank a lot today. Feeling a bit tipsy, I wonder if I'll be okay tomorrow!

yuさんのレビューを読んで、絶対に行きたいと思ってたお店♡ I went to the restaurant with 4 members of the morning activity group. It opens from 2 pm and there is no cover charge♡ It's a very user-friendly place♡ I climbed the stairs nervously, entered the store, and was surprised to find a very stylish BAR (ˊo̶̶̷̤ .̫ o̴̶̷̤ˋ). I don't usually go to bars, so I was excited♡ I asked the wonderful bartender to make me a strawberry and rose cocktail. The bartender shaking the shaker was cool♡ Wonderful♡ The cocktail that was made was sparkling and beautiful, and it was very delicious (灬ºωº灬). The sweet and sour taste of the strawberry with the scent of the rose was amazing♡♡ Ah, cocktails made by a bartender in a proper bar are this delicious. I was deeply moved♡ They also served dried fruits as a service. The pineapple dried fruit was delicious♡ I also had a little taste of other people's cocktails, and they all had unique flavors and were delicious (⁎˃ᴗ˂⁎). mie-san's non-alcoholic cocktail was surprisingly delicious♡ You can get tipsy even with non-alcoholic drinks~♡♡ It's non-smoking, so there was no smell of tobacco typical of bars, and it was very comfortable♡ I want to go again (*´∀｀*) Thank you for the meal.

...A shop I've always wanted to visit♥ Today, I went for a morning activity in Tennoji after a long time. Lately, work has been too busy...and I haven't been able to go anywhere at all. I realized that I haven't seen anyone in a long time thanks to the people I met on Tabelog. The shop opens at 2 pm, so I adjusted my schedule for a bar hopping to fit the opening time of this shop. And...four of us visited for the first time♥ The shop was on the second floor after climbing the stairs♥ It was even better than I thought!! I found a shop that I will definitely revisit. This would be the 5th shop if I visited it in the morning, so I like non-alcoholic cocktails. When I tell them my favorite fruits and preferences, they make a perfect cocktail for me♥॑⸜(* ॑꒳ ॑* )⸝⋆* A cute cocktail with a strawberry base and whipped cream on top is created. I spent a lovely time in a slightly stylish way with dried fruits♥ Since tomorrow is Christmas...I celebrated a little early...Merry X'mas The shop is open until the end of the year, until the 30th, and will reopen from the 3rd of the new year...wait, was it from the 2nd? Before you go, make sure to check the details⭐️

There is a bar on the 2nd floor that girls want to go to. It's open during the day! The atmosphere is nice from the stairs. Behind the heavy door is a chic and calm place with an American or European vibe, I'm not sure. I'm into Irish coffee lately, so I tried it for 1600 yen. I usually grind my coffee beans and brew them with a drip. I don't really know much about whiskey, but the mix of whiskey's elegant aroma and coffee's calming scent was something special. The rich dark coffee aroma blended with sweetness and fragrance, creating an elegant and sophisticated drink. Sometimes, this kind of leisurely time flow is important. The bartender was also a good-looking guy with a nice vibe. Using a bar during the day was a new and interesting experience. I love trying new things! I'll keep challenging myself! Thank you for the delicious meal!

Now, my final stop. The staircase leading into the interior of this place is stylish, and the interior itself is also chic (*´-`). Of course, there were no other customers ahead of us (>_<). It's rare to have a bar open from 2 o'clock. Since it's our first time here, we left it up to the bartender❗ I had a cocktail that tasted like strawberries and roses, Mie had a non-alcoholic strawberry cocktail❗, the captain had a wild coffee cocktail, and I had a coffee cocktail that suited my short-sleeved shirt, even though it's out of season (/o＼). While enjoying the service of dried fruits, we had a pleasant conversation with the bartender. It's nice to change things up and go to a bar once in a while. Thank you for the meal m(__)m.

The day before a special day, three of us went out for drinks in Abeno. Before heading to the main restaurant, we stopped by a bar recommended by someone in the underground area. As we entered, two people were already enjoying their drinks. I ordered a Zakiyama highball and it was quite strong. The staff was attentive and the atmosphere was welcoming, making it a great place for women to enjoy a drink alone. They also offer discounted drinks during early hours. After receiving some gifts, we decided it was time to head to the main restaurant. Thank you for the meal!

I had decided on sushi for dinner a long time ago, looking forward to it! We met at Tennoji Station. I left my mother's hospital early to wait until the meeting time at the Tennoji Municipal Art Museum. After seeing the Buddha statue exhibition, I checked the closing time and was greeted by a magnificent view. The city from the hilltop was dyed in a deep red color, with the illuminated lights of Tsutenkaku Tower. It felt like something good was going to happen today! Before heading to the sushi restaurant, we waited for the guest of honor at a bar near Tennoji Station. We went upstairs to a calm and cozy atmosphere different from the hustle and bustle of Tennoji. We ordered cocktails for a pre-drink toast. I chose a refreshing apple cocktail, while my friend chose an orange dry fruit cocktail. The guest of honor, a man, went for Yamazaki without hesitation! The bar wasn't crowded, but there were some customers coming and going. It seems they also have a happy hour starting early. The staff were friendly, and it felt like we were going to have a great time. This place is definitely worth a visit when in Tennoji. Next time, I'll sit at the counter alone!

I visited around 10 pm on Sunday night and the place was almost full! It's easy to see why it's popular with great service, a variety of drinks, and friendly staff. I would love to visit again!
