I ate and drank to my heart's content at a nearby restaurant. It was still early, so we decided to have a second round. We crossed Midosuji from east to west and opened the door to this place after a long time. Oh! The master is as dashing and dignified as ever, and I'm glad to see him in good health. Three middle-aged men sat at the left end of the counter, looking very natural in this space. I ordered a Jameson on the rocks, while the other two customers each got their favorite whiskey highball. Cheers for the second time today! I relaxed in this space, which is more calming than my own living room. I have a bad habit of getting lost in my own world and neglecting the other two customers. Well, they seem to be having a lively conversation about work, so it's okay. The charm of the day was the smoked mackerel and cheese, delicious! It paired well with the smoky whiskey. Jameson always tastes like Jameson, sweet and smoky with a pleasant aftertaste. As the previous customer left and a new one entered, it was clear that the number of regular guests is increasing. And so, the three of us reached our limit and headed back home, feeling the night breeze. Thank you for the meal.

It's been a while since the three of us met. The last time was at a kushikatsu restaurant in Ashiya called Arvon. The two guys were really excited and wanted to go back to Arvon. After the concert, they insisted on not bringing their wives and came to see me instead. It was a fun time with the three of us at a bar in Shinchi. We had a toast and enjoyed the evening. They were surprisingly gentlemanly and made me feel happy. I may not be involved in romantic relationships, but having such kind friends is truly a blessing. Thank you for the happiness. We had a couple of drinks, with the second one being a blue label whisky called Shibas Regal. It was a flavor of Mizunara oak barrel that I had never seen before. A few days ago, I received a video of this blue whisky from a friend who loves alcohol. I was amazed by the coincidence. I wore a blue dress that matched the color of the dress worn by the lady at the bar. She even took a photo with a heart mark for me. She knows how to make a woman happy. I rushed back home to my wife as the last train was approaching. I wonder when we will meet again. The remaining two guys live close by, so they have a neighborhood relationship.

After enjoying some amazing dumplings at a restaurant near JR Tozai Line Kitashinchi Station, we were led to the next place by my older brother, who seems to know Kitashinchi like the back of his hand. We entered a cool bar where you feel like straightening your back and looking stylish. My brother ordered a Dewar's highball and the lady ordered something too. I felt a bit sorry for the non-smokers as I discreetly brought over an ashtray from the corner and indulged in a drink and a cigarette in a hidden chic manner. It was just the right balance. It was a fun time catching up with the two of them whom I hadn't seen in a while. For the last drink, I had a Blue Seagram's Regal. The beautiful label left an impression on me. As the last train was approaching, I excused myself. The two of them left behind... well, sometimes it's the adult way to not interfere. ♡ Oh well...

While waiting for my pick-up, I had some time so I went to one more place. This is Mr. Baruda's place. Master greeted me with a smile ♡ It feels like coming to a nostalgic bar after a long time. The master is very easy to talk to. You can even go alone. - Highball - Strawberry - Matcha I had a cute frozen drink ♡ Thank you for the meal (•́✧•̀)

It's a bar with only a counter where the bartender, a dapper gentleman, is friendly and approachable even to first-time visitors. There is no menu, but you can describe your preferences and he will help you choose a drink while having a conversation. The small size of the bar creates a cozy atmosphere where you can hear other customers' conversations, which adds to the overall charm.

Located in the Kita-Shinchi area, closer to Umeda, this bar stands quietly on the first floor of a building in a bustling district. Upon opening the door, you enter a modest yet elegant space. The interior resembles a bar, with a counter made of aged wood and 10 seats lined up. In the mood for a strong drink, I ordered three cocktails. The first was a Bronx Terrace, made with 30ml of dry gin, 20ml of dry vermouth, and 10ml of lime juice. It had a rich aroma and flavor with a hint of grape from the vermouth, and the owner described it as a casual version of a martini, which was quite fitting. For a change of pace, I ordered a matcha cocktail recommended by the owner. As the conversation among the regulars and myself picked up, the drinks quickly disappeared. I ended the night with a whiskey on the rocks. The total cost for three drinks was a reasonable 4800 yen, and I felt welcomed by the owner and regulars, making me appreciate the value of discovering this place in my 20s.

There are plenty of authentic bars in Kita-Shinchi, but among them, "BAR UDA" is a place that even a beginner like me knows about. The master is skilled at engaging in conversation without being too intrusive. The atmosphere is calm and the conversation flows easily. There are many date bars out there, but having a repertoire of adult spaces like this adds to one's sophistication. Even someone as crude as myself can become a gentleman at this bar.

(As a reminder) I was taken to BAR UDA by my colleagues after dinner. It's a place where adults gather, and you can relax at the counter while chatting. It's a comfortable space where you can go alone as well. I would like to visit again... It was a wonderful restaurant experience. Thank you for the meal.

BAR UDA is an authentic bar located at 1-11-20 Sonezaki Shinchi, Kita-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture. It is situated on the 1st floor of the Takagawa Umeda Building. It is a 3-minute walk from Kitashinchi Station on the JR Tozai Line. The bar has 10 seats, no private rooms, and smoking is allowed. Reservations are accepted, and credit cards are also accepted. The operating hours are from 18:00 to 26:00, and on Saturdays from 18:00 to 24:00. The bar is closed on Sundays, holidays, and the 1st Saturday of the month. The reviewer had a Martini as their first drink, followed by a homemade coffee liqueur on the rocks. They enjoyed the cozy atmosphere of the bar and the conversations with the bartender. Overall, it was a pleasant experience at BAR UDA.

The shop is located on the first floor of a mixed-use building. After eating tempura skewers, I came alone. When I opened the door with the metal plate of "BAR UDA," I entered the shop. It was before 8 o'clock, but there were no customers at the counter. In response to the sound of the door opening, the master came out. The interior of the shop has only a counter. Prompted by the master, I sat at a seat in the middle of the counter. Since it's a bar in Kitashinchi, customers probably come later. The shop has only a counter, and it has a calm and orthodox atmosphere. When I come to a bar, I always start with a dry martini. I started chatting with the master, and then another customer came in. They seemed to be a regular customer and started chatting casually with the master. It seems like they run a company around Senba. Since there were only two customers, I couldn't help but hear their conversation. Eventually, I joined the conversation and received various local information, such as the differences in the basement food floors in Umeda. The third customer was a woman who came alone. She didn't seem to be a regular customer, but she seemed familiar with the bar. After the martini, I ordered a gin and tonic and had an interesting conversation with the three of us sitting slightly apart. The master didn't seem to be a fan of conversation, but he didn't intrude too much, and it was a comfortable place to be. Thank you for the meal.

I stopped by before my meal. It's a nice place with an authentic feel, with only a counter. The master has a very friendly atmosphere. We each had highballs or fruit cocktails. Enjoyed some time chatting with the master. It's a place you'll want to come back to.

I'm starting to worry about the bus schedule. I glance at the clock occasionally. I walk past the prominent sign of Big Echo and open the door that looks like a hotel room. Inside, it turns out to be an authentic bar. There is a long counter made of a single board. Surprisingly, the place has some depth to it. I decide to sit in the front seats because the previous customer was smoking. There doesn't seem to be a menu, so I order a Sky Ball, which I haven't had since Barnes in Nagoya. It's served in a metal mug and is a vodka-based cocktail that's easy to drink. I start to feel a little tipsy, so this is just right. The charm is smoked cheese and cheese. I also try a strawberry gin and tonic. Oh no, this one is dangerous because it tastes like straight strawberry juice. The gin is hidden well. The bartender's skills are impressive. Conversation is important at the bar, and the bartender occasionally joins in. The atmosphere is very comfortable. It would be even better if it were non-smoking... Anyway, there's still an hour and a half until the late-night bus. We had a blast after this. It was a short but enjoyable time. Thank you. Bon appétit.

Located a 5-7 minute walk from Kitashinchi Station, BAR Uda is a cozy little bar with an authentic atmosphere where you can enjoy drinks while chatting with the friendly master. The only seating available is at the counter, but there are usually seats available, making it easy to get in even on weekends. This time, I ordered a Sidecar and a Gin Buck. The cocktails were mixed quickly in a shaker, resulting in a well-chilled drink where you could really taste the brandy. It was delicious! If you're looking for a second spot near Kitashinchi, be sure to visit this place. Thank you for the meal!

My first impression was that it was located on the first floor of a building near Kitashinchi Station. I would like to visit again.

Authentic bar located in Kitashinchi. With a rating of 3.66 on Tabelog (as of May 1, 2022), it is a highly rated establishment. I was taken here as the final stop of the evening. It is a perfect location to stop by after having a meal in Kitashinchi. The bill on this day was split alternately between the person who brought me here and myself, so the exact amount spent here is unknown. Therefore, I will refrain from evaluating the cost performance. I ordered a Sherry Tonic. Even without specifying, the Sherry was served in a dry style without citrus, which matched my preferences. It had a light and slightly sweet finish, so I think the tonic used was Schweppes. The drink had a nice smoothness. The back bar truly embodied the essence of an authentic bar. The atmosphere was calm, and the service was welcoming without making the customers feel tense. The bartender showed flexibility in catering to the customers. It was a truly pleasant space. I imagine many regulars come here to unwind and relax after a long day.

A perfect bar for a second or third stop. Located in a building just above the underground North Shinchi Station, it has great accessibility. It has only a counter, with one master. Whiskey and cocktails are the main focus, with no food available. It seems like a great place for when you want to have a leisurely conversation or have a drink before heading home.
