Earlier, I made a reservation at the BAR, which is located in the Osaka Shin-Osaka Hotel. The name of this restaurant is the same as the BAR in the affiliated hotel. It's simple and easy to understand. I was surprised when the bartender greeted me as I arrived at the restaurant. Perhaps this elegance is because it's a hotel BAR, but regardless, it was very elegant. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was also calm and sophisticated. The high-quality lighting and ambiance created a comfortable environment. I found out that my friend also likes bourbon as we chatted casually. I spotted a bourbon bottle that I used to drink when I was younger. Blanton's Half Rock: 1,900 yen. The unique bottle shape and horse accessory really stand out. It's been a while, no, how many years has it been? Cheers for the third time today! Cheers! Oh, this taste brings back memories. The bartender, who was gentle and mild-mannered, and I talked about alcohol for a while. As we were chatting, a group of guests arrived, probably guests staying at the Shin-Osaka Hotel. Now, it's time to choose the last drink of the day. If I've come this far, I want to end the night with bourbon. Booker's Half Rock: 2,150 yen. It's a well-known top-quality craft bourbon with a fruity sweetness and flavor that is rare to find in bourbon. I chose a half rock to enjoy the more vibrant aroma. Cheers! Hmm, this is delicious. My friend beside me is also captivated. Isn't it delicious? Although it's in front of JR Kyoto Station, I have to go back to Osaka. It's a shame to leave, but let's head back. The bartender also saw us off at the end. He was smart and dandy. He was like a model bartender. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

I don't really care much about food, but I wanted a plan with all-you-can-drink because it's convenient... This plan met my selfish criteria and I used my GOTO points, so I got a discount of 1000 yen. It costs 1500 yen per person for 90 minutes of all-you-can-drink and each person can order one dish from a set menu. If you need more, you can order additional dishes. You can also start with a glass of sparkling wine for a toast. I ordered pasta, pizza, and meat dishes to make it a bit more filling. In the end, we enjoyed for 2 hours with these three dishes. The wine in the glass was delicious too. Even if it had cost 2500 yen, it would have been cheap, so I would like to use it again. It's convenient and close to the station!

The atmosphere inside the store is great, and the service is wonderful. It's a place where you can relax and feel at ease.

Around Kyoto Station, many restaurants get very crowded during lunchtime, but the dining options at Kyoto New Hankyu Hotel are not as busy, making it a hidden gem for me. On this day, I went to Bar Leed for their lunchtime curry special. They offer a different discounted menu each week, with prices around 100-200 yen cheaper than usual. I chose the Chicken Curry, which was part of the special (normally 850 yen, now 750 yen). The curry at the hotel is a step above regular curry places, and Bar Leed's curry is no exception. It even came with coffee or tea after the meal, making it a very satisfying experience. I will definitely be coming back again.
