Sanboa in Kitashinchi opens early and offers a comforting atmosphere and drinks with the same concept as other Sanboa locations. While the usual choice would be a highball, today I requested a pre-dinner drink of "Bronx Terrace." It was a refreshing gin-based cocktail.

When it comes to Sanbo, it's the highball without ice. I had the experience at Sanbo in Kyoto, but this one was a little better. They lightly squeeze citrus into the drink, making it irresistible. The temperature is just right, not too cold, easy to drink. It's not warm but perfectly drinkable. And standing while drinking. Cool. I feel like visiting other Sanbo locations now.

Sambor in Kitashinchi is a famous stand bar with a calm atmosphere. It opens early, so it's easy to get in even on weekends around 7 pm. I've been to other Sambor locations before, but I like the vibe at the Kitashinchi store. It's easy to pop in and out quickly, so it's convenient for bar hopping in the area. I ordered a sweet cocktail and enjoyed a refreshing grapefruit cocktail that was easy to drink and delicious. I also appreciated the cheese assortment that came with small toast slices. Thank you for the meal!

The second Sanboa location is in Kitashinchi. There are a total of eight locations, and I found out there is also one in Ginza. They offer classic highballs, gin and tonics, and cheese to nibble on while relaxing. Each Sanboa location seems to only have one group of four people, but it's impressive how they manage to stay in business. Thank you for the meal!

[North Shinsaibashi Sanboa] is a place that is famous for its highball without ice, and I used to think it was cool to drink highballs while standing at the bar and then leave quickly at places like North Sanboa and Dojima Sanboa. Nostalgically recalling those days, I opened the door hidden behind the ivy-covered brick wall and entered the interior of the restaurant. This time, instead of standing at the counter, we were seated at a table because we had plans to visit two more bars afterwards and needed to conserve our energy. In the atmosphere-filled space of the authentic bar with its dignified charm, I ordered the classic Kahlua Milk instead of the usual highball without ice, while my companion opted for a Bowmore highball. We purposely went for something different this time. Enjoying our drinks with salted peanuts, I savored the sweet Kahlua Milk, which I love for its coffee milk-like taste. The Bowmore highball, with its peaty and iodine aroma, came with pure ice. While we were there, several hostesses and their accompanying customers who were about to start their shift arrived. It's the nature of the area, I suppose! After each enjoying a drink, we paid the bill of 4620 yen, as expected in Kita-Shinsaibashi. Thank you for the delicious meal!

On Wednesday at 10:00 PM, we went to "Sanboah" in Kitashinchi. The bar's prestigious "Sanboah" with its impressive exterior. It was my first time at the Kitashinchi location. Inside, there were tables and a counter. The counter was empty that day, but the tables were full. We started with a "Highball". It had a strong whiskey flavor, and without ice, it really makes you feel like an adult. The peanuts with skin are a must-have at Sanboah. We also tried the "Chocolate". The original chocolate was bitter and sophisticated, a perfect match for Western liquor. The atmosphere here is truly the best. Just having one drink on the way back in this calm atmosphere is a privilege reserved for adults. Thank you for the meal.

I finished work but don't know what to do. It's drizzling outside, so I decided to stop by a bar near JR Kitashinchi Station. The place was about 20% full when I arrived around 9:45 PM. I ordered a cocktail, which was sweet with a hint of Captain Morgan rum. I also ordered homemade beef jerky for a snack, which was slightly softer than store-bought jerky. I paid 2750 yen with my card and left to visit one more place before heading home.

There is a Suntory bar at the Hilton in Kyoto where I had a meeting. I had a highball and the 12-year-old Hakushu whiskey was delicious. You can also have lunch there during the day, and I saw it on TV so I decided to buy some souvenirs. I think the eggs were sandwiched in agemaki with a lot of mayonnaise, which is not great for an old man like me. They also have steak sandwiches, which were delicious! They offer delivery service as well. It's a smoker-friendly place, which is tough for me, but luckily no one was smoking when I was there.

I visited "Kitashinchi Sanboa," which was selected as one of the "Tabelog Top 100 Bars in 2022." This restaurant is carrying on the legacy of the famous long-established bar "Sanboa," founded in 1918, and was opened in 1994. It is located in Kita-ku, Osaka City, just a 3-minute walk from JR Tozai Line Kitashinchi Station. The place is covered in greenery, making it easy to spot. The interior has a bar-like atmosphere with bright lighting. Copenhagen plates were displayed, a common feature in other branches. There are standing bars and table seats, creating a casual atmosphere for enjoying drinks. I ordered the "Cranberry Cocktail" this time. The bright red color of the cranberry is beautifully displayed. When I tasted it, the cranberry flavor came through prominently, making it seem like a dry type of gin. There was also another flavor in the aftertaste, possibly hinting at citrus. It's a bar where you can enjoy a quick drink or leisurely savor your time. Thank you for the meal.

Visit date: 21:00 on a weekday Wait time: None Menu: After having a meal, I wanted to have a drink so I visited this place. Since it was still early, there was only one group of customers before us. I had two cocktails with less alcohol, and they were made just as I requested and tasted delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Who are you talking to? Lol. I visited Doshima Sanbo (the oldest shop) and Kitasanboa, but I haven't been here yet. I checked on Tabelog and found out they are open from 3 pm! I missed it the day before, but if I can go, I will. It's raining, but of course, I made my way to Osaka Station Building No. 3 underground. It's still a bustling dining area. The exterior looks quite elegant, with a sense of grandeur. I arrived at 3 pm on a weekday. I saw on the shop's page in advance that reservations are accepted. Sometimes, if there are group reservations, you can't get in. Luckily, I was able to enter and lean on the counter in front. It's tough to stand when you have a bomb on your waist, but with this posture, I managed somehow. What I ordered: Highball for 1,100 yen, draft beer for 900 yen. They serve peanuts (with skin) in a small dish, which is the Sanboa style. The Highball here is significantly tastier compared to drinking it at an izakaya, probably because you can see the process right in front of you. At this time, there were four staff members, more than the customers, lol. I watched as the beer was poured by the server in front of me. This was ordered by the previous customer. I had originally planned to have a fruit cocktail, but changed my mind to the delicious Ebisu beer. Since it's standing only, you can't stay long. It was good to stop by, and the feeling of relief won. The new Sannomiya was opened right in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, so I wonder how they are doing now. They are open, and even during the day? I should have stopped by when I went to Arima Onsen. Next stop is Tenroku, and then back to Kita-Shinchi, an inefficient plan, but it's okay since there's a one-day pass. And that's the end of it. The bill came to 2,530 yen, paid with cash.

This is Sanboa in Kita-Shinchi, a famous bar with a long history. The owner and master, Mr. Niitani, is from Minami-Sanboa. He is now a core figure in the Sanboa lineage. The bar has branches in major cities like Asakusa, Kyoto, Kobe, and here in Kita-Shinchi. I visited on a Saturday night after 11 PM for a final drink. When you open the door covered in ivy leaves, you step into a nostalgic world. It's a soothing atmosphere. Since they close at midnight, many customers were leaving when I arrived. There are also table seats, so it seems like a good place to have a leisurely chat. I was enchanted by the experience. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Enjoying a cocktail in an adult atmosphere while traveling. I searched on Tabelog and decided on a high-rated bar in the area. The atmosphere from the entrance is authentic and I have high expectations. I enjoyed chatting while watching the bartender's work at the counter.

I don't drink after 3 o'clock, but it's lovely here. I stopped by for a warm-up, and the quality is just as good in Osaka. The first drink was a highball without ice, perfectly made. Sitting at the counter, facing the bartender who stood still, I ended up reading the evening paper. It created a unique tension. The second drink was a gin and tonic. I visit several bars, but the atmosphere in Kita-Shinchi might be the best.

Visit date: 22:00 on a weekday Waiting time: None Menu: After finishing the meal, went on a tour of the top 100 bars. Visited Sanbo in Kita-Shinchi. Originally planned to have just one drink, but ended up having two. The first drink was a gin and tonic. The second drink was a sweet cocktail with pineapple liqueur. Sanbo has a lively atmosphere in all their locations, making it easy to walk in. Will visit again. Thank you for the meal.

As the title suggests, this famous bar serves highballs without ice. The interior has an authentic old-fashioned bar atmosphere, with staff members who are very professional and serious. There is no background music, creating a somewhat tense atmosphere. I ordered the "highball without ice," and although I couldn't really tell the difference between with and without ice, it was delicious. Thank you for the meal! Ahh, that was great!

I happened to be having a meal nearby and decided to stop by saying "Just one glass, please!" (´^ω^｀)ﾌﾞﾌｫwww. The retro atmosphere of the restaurant without background music created a mysterious space. I enjoyed a highball and received a sandwich as a souvenir. Thank you for the wonderful meal ♡ I appreciate all of your follows, likes, and comments. Please follow me on Instagram @kanae.0402 and my food account @kanae.0402sub. Wishing for wonderful connections (* ॑꒳ ॑*) Thank you very much m(*_ _)m.

Gin and Tonic for 1650 yen. It's a double shot of gin in the drink. The taste is not too sweet and has a bitter flavor. The bar has a classical atmosphere. Considering it's a late-night bar, the price for a double is reasonable and convenient. The taste is not extraordinary. The fancy signage of the bar may be a bit confusing at first, but you'll get used to it.

After drinking and eating at Bisho-san, my drinking buddy who knows Shinchi well took me to another bar. I'm happy that there are still bars like this. The bar I used to go to in Umeda often had a bartender in a white jacket and black bow tie. I wonder if that bar is still there... It's so stylish. I don't know what to order at a bar like this... (laughs) I left it to my buddy. It was a refreshing lemon liqueur cocktail, I think. I forgot the name... We also ordered chocolate and dried fruits. The chocolate seemed to be original, with alcohol in it, making it an adult chocolate. It's delicious. I think it would go well with brandy. The cocktail was easy to drink and perfect for after a meal. It's quiet and calming. I hope these kinds of bars continue to exist. Thank you for the meal.

Sanboah, a 3-minute walk from JR Tozai Line's Kitashinchi Station, is known for its standing counter. It's a place where you can quickly have a drink and leave, giving off a stylish vibe. Since there were four of us that day, we were seated at a table. I ordered a Bowmore on the rocks. Slowly sipping on it while rolling the ice around, I enjoyed the drink without getting too drunk. I had two drinks on the rocks that day before heading home. This bar is always wonderful no matter when you visit. Instagram ID: kuidaore.8.
