Here is the translation of the restaurant review: Located in the Oideyasu Shopping Street in Tenroku Nakazaki, this place caught my attention for a while but I never had the chance to visit. There is also a related bar called "Coulon's Bar" nearby. The interior has an authentic atmosphere that is slightly different from the Nakazaki-cho shopping street. The counter extends towards the back, creating a compact space. On the day I visited, there was a female bartender handling everything on her own, and she was very friendly even to someone like me who is not very knowledgeable about Islay whiskey. I mentioned that I prefer something easy to drink, and she recommended the "Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie." The pastel blue bottle is quite impressive, said to replicate the color of a clear day in the sea off Islay Island. While it is typically enjoyed neat or on the rocks to savor its flavor, having only tried Islay whiskey once in my life and usually sticking to whiskey highballs, I opted to have it with soda as suggested by the bartender. The refreshing and fruity taste was delightful, with hints of mint, jasmine-like flowers, and sweet fruits that gently caress the nose. It had a soft, subtle flavor that gradually fades away after each sip. I was pleasantly surprised by how feminine and elegant the taste was, contrary to my preconception of Islay whiskey being more robust and masculine. I only had one glass as it was a brief visit, but I look forward to returning soon for a leisurely experience. Thank you for the delicious drink! ******************************** Solo Female Friendliness: ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Likelihood to Revisit: ★★★★★ ******************************** Thank you very much for reading until the end.

Good evening! After enjoying delicious yakiniku at Yakiniku Ichi in Umeda-Nakazaki and drinking almost a whole bottle of wine, I decided to release the smart medical student from my company. I messaged gourmet lady Y-chan and we met up at Tenjinbashi-suji shopping street. We planned to try a creative izakaya called "Sousou" but it was full, so we ended up going to another branch called "Nakanaka" in Temma, which was delicious. Unfortunately, Sousou will have to wait for another time. However, I have a strong intuition in situations like this. While strolling around the shopping street, I spotted a bar that looked intriguing. It turned out to be a specialty Islay whiskey bar called Bar Gekko. The atmosphere was cozy with dim lighting, and the lady with glasses behind the counter was very welcoming. Y-chan enjoyed the Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie, which she doesn't usually drink, but found it satisfying. As for me, the staff recommended Port Charlotte, which had a balanced mix of peatiness and smokiness, along with rich sweetness and depth. It was worth the price of 1800 yen per glass. The bar had an impressive collection of Islay whiskeys on the shelf, and it was a great place to savor Islay whiskey in a calm setting. I was delighted to find such a wonderful bar in the Tenjinbashi-suji shopping street. My alcohol radar led me to a great bar! Thank you for the delicious experience, I will definitely be back.

After walking a few seconds from Yakiniku Tamaki, I arrived at the usual "Bar Gekkou". It's filled with Scotch whisky. But as I entered, ERIKA wasn't there!!! So, I decided to try the Bruichladdich. It has a high fragrance and tastes delicious. It's a truly luxurious Scotch. The flagship of Bruichladdich distillery, known for its floral and elegant style. Made with 100% Scottish barley and aged in American oak. Unlike other Islay whiskies, it's non-peated. Smooth, clean, fresh, and lively. Perfect harmony of oak and barley.

On April 30, 2022, for our second stop, we visited our usual spot, "Bar Tsukikage". It's filled with Scotch whiskies. I tried the Bruichladdich, which has a floral and elegant style. It's made with 100% Scottish barley and aged in American oak. Unlike typical Islay whiskies, it's non-peated. It's smooth, clean, fresh, and lively. The perfect harmony of oak and barley.

On April 28, near Yakiniku Tamaki in Nakazakicho, Osaka, I visited "Bar Gekko". It was quite stylish and nice! I started with a bottled beer for a toast. The pouring technique was good, resulting in a creamy foam. The appetizers were reasonably priced. The Gâteau au Chocolat was 500 yen and served cold, which was good! I also tried the "Chicken Ramen-kun" for 300 yen, which was also good and just right when you're already full. That's all for "Bar Gekko". I would love to visit again if I have the chance! (^^♪

I went to an event where you can eat right away! It's a small restaurant with only counter seats, but it had a relaxing atmosphere. I was surprised by how authentic the food was for a bar! The staff mentioned that they have a sister restaurant which focuses more on dishes and serves breakfast, and the meat is cooked at a low temperature which makes it really tender and delicious. The spinach mashed potatoes were also delicious! I'm really curious about the sister restaurant that serves breakfast.

I stopped by this place just a few minutes' walk from Nakazakicho Station and Tenjinbashi Rokuchome Station. The interior has only counter seats and is lit up in blue, creating a calm atmosphere. The menu mainly features Islay malts, as advertised on the sign outside. I ordered a cask-strength Ardbeg. Let's give it a try! The aroma is unmistakably Islay. Taking a sip, it has a rich and oily flavor that is quite enjoyable. This is the kind of whisky you want to savor straight. Overall, a great experience! You can also enjoy a casual drink in the nice atmosphere of the restaurant.

I decided to relax at "Bar Tsukikage" in the Tenroku-Nakazaki Shotengai based on the flow of things. The strong blue light that illuminates the bar may be inspired by moonlight. Everything in my field of vision is mixed with blue, giving a different atmosphere to even familiar things. I tried the Kowloon's Bar coffee liqueur, which seems to be an original blend. I had it on the rocks, and I think it's a hit for coffee and alcohol lovers. It was a very delicious drink for me at least. I also enjoyed a pleasant conversation with my companion while savoring Early Times straight. It was my first visit, but the bar was more casual than I had expected. Thank you for the meal! (^^)

I usually drink whiskey, but this time I tried Japanese rum at a bar in Tenmabashi Nakazaki Shotengai. It had a rich aroma and was very delicious!

Event menu: roast beef, roast pork, steamed chicken, drink, all for 500 yen. Show your badge at the entrance and pay in advance before entering. Sit at the bar counter and chat while waiting. This place is known for serving only drinks from Scotland's Isle of Islay. It's a famous whisky island. I don't know much more about it. There are shelves full of bottles I've never seen before. I start with a highball, which is refreshing and delicious. The dishes arrive, each sliced one by one after ordering. They are all tasty without being too overpowering. Apparently, these dishes are not usually offered here, but you can try them at the sister store in Kyobashi. I plan to come back next time to leisurely enjoy some whisky. Thank you for the meal.
