I thought wine bars were intimidating, but I heard they were welcoming to solo customers so I decided to give it a try. When I entered the bar, I was greeted in a somewhat abrupt manner with no words spoken until I awkwardly said, "There are two of us." They only had one type of red, white, and orange wine by the glass, and didn't ask about our preferences at all. We had 3 glasses of wine and 4 dishes for a total of 7,000 yen. The wine was around 1,200 yen per glass.

I went bar hopping to three places in the Noda area. The first place was Tyrni, a very stylish wine and snack bar with delicious food. It is run by a young woman and usually accommodates only groups of up to two people, but we were allowed in as a group of three as long as we kept our voices down. The other two women with me were quite demure, so it was not a problem. It's a great spot for a date, although it seemed to have a lot of regular male customers who may be interested in the owner. The wine prices are a bit on the high side.

A sophisticated wine bar where even women can enter alone. The entrance exudes a stylish atmosphere. The restriction of up to 2 people per group makes sense once you feel the calm atmosphere inside. The female owner manages the place alone, maintaining a good distance while paying attention to the speed of serving drinks and food, creating a comfortable environment. They don't have a wine list, so they will pair the wine with your mood, preferences, and the dish you order. Despite being a wine bar, they offer not only Western dishes but also Japanese cuisine, which is rare, and everything is delicious. They also accommodate solo diners by offering half-sized portions. A highly recommended place for when you want to relax alone or have a leisurely date in secret.

I asked the owner of a natural wine specialty wine bar for recommendations in Osaka. The bar is located near Noda-Hanshin and Ebisucho stations, tucked away on a dark street with few other shops, giving it a hidden gem vibe. The bar mainly consists of a long counter, and most customers are solo diners. There are regulars as well as first-timers. The wine menu is not provided, and you leave it to the owner to choose for you. The food selection is quite diverse, ranging from Japanese to Western dishes. I ordered pork rillettes and beef cheek stewed in black beer. The beef cheek stew was particularly delicious - tender, flavorful, and perfectly fatty. I had white and red wine chosen to pair with the dishes. I may not know much about wine, but I can tell when it's delicious. As for the prices, the food is quite affordable, but the wine is priced more like a restaurant than a casual bar or izakaya.

Near Noda Station in Osaka City, there is a wine bar called Tyrni, which specializes in natural and Japanese wines. The bar has a stylish yet warm atmosphere with a wooden counter, and is run by a female sommelier. During my visit, I enjoyed fried lotus root simmered in sauce and bacon and cheese quiche while sipping on a glass of wine, including the 2020 Domain Oyamada Washma white from Katsunuma, Yamanashi. It was a delightful experience.

Tonight, I went drinking in the Nodahanshin area, and the third place was the wine bar Tyrni. This is also a place that welcomes solo customers. They don't have heavy wines, which is their selling point. The famous minced cutlet was also delicious. I was quite drunk by the end, but I would like to visit again and take it easy next time.

First time at Noda Hanshin. A friend guided me to this place. The moment I walked in, I felt stylish vibes! I ordered carrot rapé, rolled omelette, beef cheek meat simmered in black beer, and just kept drinking wine. When I told the staff what kind of wine I liked, they immediately picked one for me. The wine was delicious, the atmosphere was lovely, and the rolled omelette and beef cheek meat simmered in black beer were amazing. It was almost like a drink rather than food. The rolled omelette was like a flood of dashi in my mouth, and the meat was so tender it didn't require chewing. It was like something new, maybe even a drink. Usually, I don't expect much from the food at bars, but this place serves top-notch dishes. I felt like staying there forever. It was my first time, but I didn't feel nervous at all, just calm. I definitely want to keep coming back to this place. I feel like I could even debut as a solo drinker here.

I always wanted to try a wine bar, but I had a high image of it. However, this place welcomes solo customers and is open from 2 pm, which made me feel comfortable, so I decided to go for it. I arrived around 2:30 pm and sat at the counter, right in front of the other solo customer. It was my first time, so I was a bit nervous, but I quickly felt at ease with the owner and the atmosphere of the place. I told them the dishes I wanted to try first, and they selected wines that would go well with them. I had a water eggplant and tomato salad, meat pate, bacon and cheese quiche, white wine, and orange wine. I love pate, so I always order it if it's on the menu. The meat was packed tightly with rich spices, making it a perfect match with the wine. It felt luxurious and happy to have it all to myself. I found that the orange wine went better with the food than the white wine. As the quiche was being reheated, a nice buttery smell filled the air. It was simply made with bacon and cheese, and the pie crust was crispy and fragrant. There were other delicious-looking items on the menu, but I'll save them for next time. The wine selected by the owner was just delicious. Thank you for the feast!

There is a natural wine shop in Noda Hanshin. I have never been there for lunch, but they are open from 2pm, so I would like to visit on a holiday afternoon. The shop is lined with a variety of wines at the entrance, and the interior design using cork is very nice. The owner's Instagram is interesting, and I find myself thinking "I really like it." Lately, I have been refraining from ordering too much food because the course of tyrni → Daigaku is a solid choice, but I really want to order all the dishes that go well with wine.

Thank you very much. I always leave it up to you here. This pate is truly exquisite. If you eat something like this... it's amazing. Please give me more. And the quiche is a must-try too. The Japanese meal is also exceptional. I really want to drink now. Thank you for the delicious meal. See you later.

I happened to pass by a shop that caught my interest, like the thousands of stars shining in the night sky, it was one of those shops that had intrigued me somewhere in my heart. (This year's Tanabata was rainy, wasn't it?) But once I visited, the inspiration for the title came to me immediately! Transparency, femininity, undoubtedly, Julia Fordham's porcelain matches perfectly. At the bottom line, there is a URL for the relevant song on Youtube, so open a new tab and listen to this song while pondering, even with my clumsy expressions, it might help you easily imagine the image of the shop. It's a lovely shop with a small and tasteful feminine touch, and just like the delicate stars in the night sky, it was one of those shops that had intrigued me somewhere in my heart. The owner, or rather, the lady, the chef, or whatever term fits best, had a very nice demeanor - soft, polite, and professional. She had a deep knowledge of wines, not pushy or intrusive, but with a refined elegance, like a piece of fine porcelain. Her presence exuded a gentle strength within her softness. As it was my first visit, I used the reviews of two people who had visited before as a reference when I asked the owner to choose the wine and consult on the food. The wines she served were not famous Château wines or those with high Parker points or awards, but rather wines from local producers where you could almost see the face of the winemaker through the owner's explanation. However, being an old tipsy man with early signs of senile dementia, my memory is like the flowing river in Hojoki, constantly changing. I might have had 8? 9 glasses of wine, but the next morning, everything felt gentle and clear, without any thorns. The meat pâté, which I had read was quite large in a review, went down smoothly, and I regretted not ordering a half dozen of the chicken wings like at Yamachan in Nagoya. The spring rolls with cilantro, which I usually avoid, were a challenge for the wine pairing, and the result was a successful international marriage of flavors. The only regret was not being able to try something sweet. The total bill came to around 12,000 to 13,000 yen, and I was satisfied. Next time, I would like to stop by for sushi or Japanese cuisine on my way back, as French cuisine can be heavy and Korean barbecue leaves lingering smells. (It's a bit too sad that my review score is 3.05 before this review, but it will surely be a fitting score soon.)

Thank you very much. Today, I sat at a table. The selection here is top-notch. It's simple yet delicious. I may have had a bit too much to drink haha. Another day, another visit to this classy bar. It's great that it's not too crowded even early in the evening. Thank you for the wonderful meal. Well then, see you later.

☆彡In the past, it was located nearby and moved in January 2020. Since there was no relocation sign, I passed by several times (･ω･* 三 *･ω･) Huh!? Looking forward to wine and appetizers: ○ Country-style meat pate for 700 yen ○ Spring rolls with shrimp, pork, and plenty of cilantro for 700 yen ○ Open omelette with bamboo shoots and blue cheese for 800 yen I was surprised by the volume of the meat pate. It might be enough for a woman to be satisfied with just this. It was not just a lump of meat, but carefully made. (ﾟДﾟ) Delicious! I started with beer but switched to wine immediately. I wondered if appetizers and wine would go well together (*´-ω･)? But not only my favorite full-bodied wines, but also easy-to-drink wines with flavors like tea. When exposed to air and the temperature changes, the aroma also changes. This is fun! (*>∀<) Lunch is served from 2 pm, but there is no lunch menu. There are side dishes like mixed rice and tonjiru soup for each item. It's like a stylish cafe wine bar. People who like this kind of atmosphere are likely to get hooked. (^ω^*) I'm on Instagram @ginjirou.star

I have visited this place several times, so here is my final evaluation. The owner runs the shop alone, so it depends on the interaction with other customers. It all depends on the timing. Sometimes, if there are regular customers present, you may not be able to place an order or there may not be any foam even though you came to drink foam... I will say it again, but the shop depends on timing. Thank you for the meal.

The atmosphere of the shop was nice and I was looking forward to drinking during the day. I ordered recommended wine and snacks. As soon as I mentioned my preference for the next glass of wine, the female owner's expression changed, giving off a silent sense of intimidation as if saying not to say anything more. It seems like she has no intention of asking about wine preferences. Maybe they can only enjoy it by the bottle. It would be better if they could explain with words.

I went there in the autumn of 20 years. I thought there would be few people on a weekday at 3 pm, but there are a few couples. I ordered a cheese platter and two glasses of wine. It's a place where you can relax without worrying about anything, with a variety of dishes, and it's a place I want to visit alone.

The atmosphere was nice so I want to go again.
