I went on a business trip to Osaka and for the first round, we went to Toriya Rokkaku Niwatori Namba. For the second round, we went to Dining Stage Sakaiya Asahi. Since we still had time, we decided to have one more drink and went to a bar. I ordered a Bowmore while snacking on chocolate. I ended up having two drinks. The atmosphere of the bar was cozy and comfortable, even though it wasn't too dark inside.

It's a small bar.

Enjoy whiskey in Namba♪ The stylish whiskey served in a calm atmosphere is perfect♪ Next to the popular izakaya, Saketomo Chujiten, in Namba, is the bar Combustio♪ I was drawn to its chic exterior and visited early in the evening (❀≧◡≦❀). As soon as you enter, you'll see the bar counter! The cozy interior and friendly owner make it a fun place♪ ■Limited to Miyagi Prefecture, Date Soda Highball■Date Water Highball Japanese whiskey!

The bar was located right next to the hotel where I stayed. It was an unexpected find, but the convenience of being just a one-minute walk from the hotel was great. The bar was small, with only a counter, which I personally like. The interior was simple, with just one master running the place. The master seemed to be around the same age as me. I had a Laphroaig 10-year highball and a Talisker 10-year on the rocks. Nuts were served as a snack, and they also had smoked eggs for 200 yen. The romantic gray-haired master was lovely. It seems that the East Asian customers who frequent the nearby restaurants don't have the habit of drinking at bars, so the bar industry doesn't benefit much from their business. It's nice to be able to enjoy a drink in a space like this, savoring the old-fashioned charm of Osaka. The total bill came to 2830 yen.

This time, I created the page for this shop for the first time ♫ Up until now, I have always used pages that someone else created. (Thank you very much ♫) So, a few months ago, I visited this place, but I'm uploading it now ♫ While wandering around near the Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium looking for a place to eat, I stumbled upon "bar combustio". It's a clean bar that has been open for about two years ♫ The long and narrow interior is mainly focused on the counter, and a kind master runs the place alone. The warm lighting in warm colors creates a cozy atmosphere ♫ The counter and back bar have a solid selection of Japanese whisky, Scotch, bourbon whisky, and liqueurs. I started with a glass of 12-year-old Hakushu on the rocks ♫ This year, NHK has decided to broadcast "Massan" at the end of the year. Massan refers to Masataka Taketsuru (Nikka), the founder. Masataka Taketsuru, in his youth, traveled to Scotland alone with the support of the president of Settsu Shuzo and the founder of Juyo (now Suntory), Shinjiro Torii. There, he met his lifelong partner, Rita. After reading their story, I couldn't resist trying Hakushu in front of me ♫ It has a slightly smoky aroma on the rocks. The taste is a bit sharp due to the young aging. However, the aftertaste is different from Yamazaki, which is surprising. Pleasant ♫ However, Yamazaki from Suntory can also be considered Masataka Taketsuru's work, so this difference may be due to the production method, water, and aging environment. Now, my favorite smoked egg is in front of me ♫ Let's dig in ♫ This is so delicious ♫ Next, I tried the 17-year-old Hakushu on the rocks ♫ It's much rounder now ♫ And the slight sweetness has increased ♫ Whisky is really interesting, how the impression changes so much over a few years ♫ Finally, I had the 17-year-old Hakushu with soda ♫ A slightly luxurious soda mix ♫ The whisky flavor overflowing from the popping bubbles ♫ A faint peatiness as I bring the glass to my nose, and the refreshing feeling of carbonation. The whisky's buzz spreading from the esophagus to the stomach ♫ Gradually, the joy and slight decline spread throughout the body. I just can't quit whisky, can I ♫ Thank you for the meal ♫
