June 18, 2022 (Saturday) Last night, I visited this restaurant for the first time in about a month and a half since my visit during Golden Week. I had the following drinks last night: - Gin and Tonic: This is the classic cocktail here. Please refer to past reviews for details. - HELLYERS ROAD Select Casks (on the rocks): An 18-year-old whiskey finished in port wine barrels. It has a rich, mature flavor with a hint of citrus sweetness. - McHENRY (on the rocks): This gin is the base for the cocktails here. It has a light botanical flavor, a light mouthfeel, and is a dry gin with little aftertaste. - Homemade Plum Wine (forgot to take a photo): Plum wine made by soaking plums in vodka and white wine. The balance between the plum's acidity and the slight sweetness from the sugar is excellent. I also treated a handsome guy sitting next to me to a drink (lol). The biggest charm of this place is the unique cocktails created by the chef's ideas and skills. I have been captivated by the charm of this place to the point that I always visit when I am in Osaka. With the pandemic easing, I plan to visit more frequently in the future. Thank you for the meal.

It's been a while since I visited Kahala, but I've been coming here for 5 years and there are always new menus to look forward to. I was surprised to see a movie poster of Yoshinaga Sayuri at the counter, as she apparently visited Kahala. As always, Master Takahashi entertained us with a wide range of topics, from how to make fig compote to hypothetical scenarios like a rocket falling in the north of Japan. It was fun. The clientele at Kahala is impressive, with guests like Yamana-san from Club Yamana sharing stories about his 88th birthday celebration at the Imperial Hotel party.

"I was told about the best gin and tonic in Japan and decided to try it out! They serve it with a lime peel attached to the glass, and you pour the gin and tonic into it. It was so new and delicious! It was so good that I couldn't stop drinking, so be careful as you might get drunk easily. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was calm and cozy, like a cave, and the bartender was friendly and wonderful!"

Nagumo Mobile Unit at 9:30 pm. The bar is conventional and lovely. We were already full with our group (laughs). Let's start with everyone's order, a Gin and Tonic with lime. The lime aroma is wonderful! The food was also busy. It's a place you'll want to come back to. For the second round, the peach frozen drink was more peachy than Starbucks' Peach.

I often find myself stopping by my favorite bar for a gin and tonic. The bar has a solid counter and soft lighting, creating a relaxing atmosphere. The bartender is friendly and creates a good vibe with their witty conversation. When you order a drink, they also bring out a few snacks for you to enjoy.

I arrived at the restaurant at 9:00 PM on a regular day. There was one regular customer already there. The master and I had a fun conversation about delicious restaurants. The master had round eyes, a gentle aura, a nice voice, and maintained a good distance. Personally, I think it's the most comfortable place in Kitashinchi. I ordered a dry martini on the rocks. Next time, I will try the recommended gin and tonic. The snacks were all innovative and delicious. In between, I had three delicious and gentle Stingers with the recommended rum. To finish, I ordered a Polar Shortcut. It was the master's first time making it, but it was still delicious. It was a wonderful night in Shinchi where I truly felt the greatness of the real thing!

On this scorching day, I had a day trip to Osaka for business. I wanted to eat some gyoza at Tempyo and have a quick drink before heading back. I found this bar nearby and decided to check it out. It had just opened, so we were one of the first customers. The bartender greeted us warmly and asked us to take a seat. I ordered my usual Vodka Rickey with Zubrowka. The drink was served in an extremely thin glass with one ice cube, lime juice, a splash of soda, and Zubrowka. It was placed gently on the counter, and it was perfect. Next, I tried their recommended Gin and Tonic made with Australian gin and soda. The bartender used a mixing glass and a lime peel to create a unique presentation. The drink was poured into a pure white Arita porcelain glass, and it was exquisite. The bartender humbly mentioned that he is self-taught and not a member of the NBA. It was a unique and fulfilling experience that I had never encountered before at a bar. I will definitely be back! Thank you for the wonderful experience!

The interior of the store is very nice. Everyone ordered gin and tonic. Both the child and I also ordered. It was a surprisingly delicious gin and tonic. It's a gin and tonic that you should try at least once. The atmosphere was also great. However, I don't think I would use it for everyday use. It's a great place for when you want to impress a girl with gin and tonic.

I visited this place after drinking with friends nearby. A customer there recommended the gin and tonic, so I ordered it. I was surprised when it was served in a mobile phone-like container. You pour the gin and tonic from the right container into the left peel and drink it that way, which enhances the flavor and makes it enjoyable to sip. Thank you for the meal.

Popular bar in Kitashinchi area. When you get off the elevator, you will see a stylish single-board counter illuminated by indirect lighting. First, I tried the famous gin and tonic. The gin and tonic is poured into the lime peel turned inside out. The refreshing scent of lime immediately hits your nose with the first sip. It has an elegant and refreshing taste that makes you feel like you can drink as many as you want. Next, I tried the cocktail with shiso (perilla) and wasabi. Instead of mint used in mojitos, shiso is used here. At first, the gentle fragrance of shiso comes through, occasionally accompanied by a hint of wasabi, but as you continue to drink, the rich aroma and flavor of shiso and wasabi evolve in a variety of ways. I have never encountered a cocktail that offers such a range of flavors. The appetizers also showed the master's dedication and were incredibly delicious. The friendly conversation with the master was very enjoyable, and I had a wonderful time enjoying the fantastic cocktails and delicious appetizers. I would love to visit again.

Visit date: 21:00 on a weekday Waiting time: None Menu: Gin and Tonic I had been curious about this place for a while and finally paid a visit. I noticed that there were no alcohol bottles visible in the area, so I asked the bartender for a recommendation and he suggested the Gin and Tonic. I ordered one and was impressed by the presentation. The drink was served in a glass with a lime peel turned inside out, and you are supposed to drink it while the Gin and Tonic is poured over it. The refreshing scent of lime hits you first, enhancing the taste of the Gin and Tonic even more. It was so delicious that I ended up ordering another one. They also had whiskies and other drinks available, but it's no surprise that everyone was ordering the Gin and Tonic. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

Hello everyone in May 2023! After having a meal with a friend I've been friends with for 10 years through Tabelog, we finally came back to Jin Ricky Karas Style⭐ The appetizers in the feed bag at Restaurant Kahara are the best❤️ It's always great to come to the adult's That's Kitashinchi Bar❤️ Thank you for the delicious meal❤️

A must-visit famous restaurant. The gin and tonic served with lime peel is incredibly delicious, you can have as many as you want. The aroma of the lime spreads throughout your mouth, making you feel enveloped in happiness. The owner is also a gentle and sophisticated person. I can't help but mutter, "Ah, what a great place."

It's been a while since I visited Takahashi-san's bar in Kaara, but this place is the number one bar in Shinchi. The interior, cocktail presentation, glasses, appetizers, snacks, fruits - everything is carefully crafted. Takahashi-san is very friendly, making it a cozy hidden gem bar where you can relax.

In Osaka's Kita-Shinchi area, I visited a bar called Hyakumeiten Kaara on a Saturday evening around 8 PM. Despite the early hour, I managed to secure a seat at the counter. I ordered their specialty, a Gin and Tonic, which was served with a lime peel on top. The aroma of the lime added to the experience of enjoying the cocktail. It was a refreshing drink with a strong lime fragrance. The bartender and regular customers were friendly and easy to talk to, creating a lively and enjoyable atmosphere typical of Osaka bars. For my second drink, I tried a Sidecar cocktail, which was absolutely delightful. Overall, it was a great experience.

I visited around 9 pm on a regular weekday. There were no customers in the restaurant, so I was able to relax and enjoy my time. I heard that this place is affiliated with Restaurant Kahara. The interior was simple and clean. [Cocktails] - Gin and Tonic: A specialty here! The lime peel is turned inside out to enjoy the aroma while drinking. - Kinkan: A drink with kinkan fruit, which was sweet and delicious! - Homemade snacks: There was a variety of snacks with a sprinkle of light snow salt, which was great. Also, the seasoning on the Chinese cabbage snack was good and went well with the drinks. [Prices] It seems that a Gin and Tonic costs 1980 yen. The total for two people was 13500 yen. (I imagine it's around 2000 yen per drink with a 2000 yen cover charge) [Others] The cost performance is average, but there is a lot of talk about using the peel. The master seems friendly at first, but if you stay for a long time, he can come off as arrogant. I would love to visit more if there is a change in the master (lol). Thank you for the meal ♡

I dropped by on a whim. It was early but almost full. I initially wanted bourbon, but ended up trying the master's recommended gin and tonic. It was served with lime peel, starting off refreshing and then turning into a more mellow, bitter taste. It was my first time trying it, but it was amazing.

I happened to stop by and entered this place. It had a lovely atmosphere with a dignified feel. I asked for a glass that caught my eye, and ended up enjoying a white wine in a Baccarat wine glass. I also tried a whiskey on the rocks and a specialty cocktail. The cocktail had a nostalgic kumquat scent and was delicious. It was a great experience. Thank you for the meal.

I was able to spend a blissful time visiting the newly opened store for a while. The interior of the store is amazing, with a huge single board at the counter and thick marble walls creating a great atmosphere. The white walls made of plaster are surprisingly lovely. I just drank gin and tonics continuously. I accidentally spilled the lime cup at first. The gin and tonic cup is made of Imari ceramic and is thinly finished. Around the fourth cup, they changed the lime. It's a delicious time for kumquats, but in the end, I had a gin and tonic. I was able to find the best store in Shinchi, Osaka.

When I entered the store, the head bartender welcomed me warmly, even though he was busy working. His quick-witted demeanor gave off an aura of professionalism. Naturally, I ordered a unique gin and tonic (probably a gin rickey, as it is lime-exclusive). Known as the gin and tonic that would undoubtedly advance to the finals league if a world championship were held, Kaala's gin and tonic is renowned. Just to explain, the drink is made by filling a glass with crushed ice, placing an inverted lime peel on top, pouring a strong gin-heavy gin and tonic, and completing it with the main glass. The drink is served with gin and tonic on the side as well, offering a free drinking style where you can pour it onto the lime peel or not. The unique appearance of the drink, served in a glass resembling a saucer on top of a ceramic-like glass, stands out on the counter. Upon taking a sip, I found it quite sweet, with a hint of the lime peel's astringency coming through later. Due to the lime's characteristics, the drink is less acidic than vinegar or yuzu, making it very easy to drink. However, I personally found the sweetness a bit heavy. The sweetness may be due to the tonic water used, as the unique refreshing bitterness and astringency of tonic water may be lacking. Another thing that caught my attention was that while the lime peel has a good aroma and does not dilute easily, its poor heat conductivity makes it difficult to maintain the drink's cold temperature. By the third pour and drink, the cocktail's temperature seemed to have risen slightly. It may be partly due to the drinker's habits, but it also adds an element of unpredictability to the taste. For the second drink, I wanted to experience the taste of the gin and try a benchmark cocktail, so I ordered a gimlet. It turns out that it is also made with Tasmania gin, just like the gin and tonic. The bartender, like an authentic hotelier, shook the drink before pouring it into a chilled glass that was slightly dewy. The gin's botanical flavor was not particularly strong, resulting in an overall sweet finish. Perhaps it was the smoothness of this gin that made it feel that way, emphasizing each drink's unique characteristics. While it may have been acceptable when I was younger, the monotony of consuming the same things during the pandemic seemed to have aged my palate, leading to a sense of confusion when trying something different. My friends, who have impeccable taste buds, have nothing but praise for the drink, so those who visit will likely be satisfied. Enjoy this unique cocktail here!

During my stay in Osaka, I visited the third bar of the day and had a great time at this highly anticipated place. The interior of the bar consisted of a huge counter with no seams, worth millions of yen. The bar has been around for about 30 years. The highlight of this place is definitely the gin and tonic. The way it was served was unique, with a lime cut in half, hollowed out, turned upside down, and used as a sake cup to drink the gin and tonic. And let me tell you, it was delicious. The gin and tonic used was from McHenry, Australia. The glass was also unique, made of ceramic material, and the lime sake cup added an extra touch to the experience. Before I knew it, I had probably ordered about 5 glasses, haha. The snacks were also delicious! The drinks were so good that I could have kept drinking, but I had to go home early because of an early start the next day. I will definitely be coming back. Thank you for the wonderful experience! Whew~.
