Bar Shiki

Bar Shiki is an amazing bar, beautifully crafted drinks lots of herbals, scents and complex flavours without the need for flash or false pretences, super solid style. Unique bar staff serving eccentric customer base, laid back and refined will be back. Thank you

I’ve never felt this kind of amazement once in my life with regards to classy drinks. They don't have a menu card. You tell the Sommelier your mood/ desired combo of smells/ flavours/ feelings. The make a drink out of it. Every drink feels as if it’s telling a story. I’m deeply grateful for this experience. This place is truly exceptional. Hint: smoker friendly but not smoky (for me as a non-smoker it was really fine).

The bartender was great! I gave him a few ideas on the spirit I wanted and characteristics and he did not miss on any of my drinks!! They were all delicious! No wait to get inside either although it was small when I went fortunately! Great start to my first night in Osaka!

It is a speakeasy that does not have a menu- you have to talk to the bartender about your preferred flavor profiles. From there they make you a custom drink using various alcohols, tincture and more. It only holds 20 people, so we’d recommend getting there when it opens. (We got there at 7:15 and it opens at 7. We were able to sit at the bar- highly recommend so you have a front row view to their artistry. The decor was moody with red velvet wall paper and dark wood accents. They had 1920s jazz. It was such a chill and elegant vibe. Best part 4 cocktails for under $100 USD. Insider tip- stay for 2 drinks (about an hour). It felt like the first drink they play it a little safe on the flavor profile. The notes for my first drink were: tequila, herbs, egg white and citrus. I had the most balanced delightful tequila drink. Then for the 2nd drink the bartender and I talked about doing something a little more bold. I told them one of the things I love is spicy a mezcal cocktail. The bartender made me a ‘mezcal sashimi’ cocktail. It is mezcal with citrus, soy sauce, and wasabi. It was SO UNIQUE. Even my husband, who doesn’t like mezcal, enjoyed it. We will be back next time we are in Osaka

Absolutely amazing cocktail experience. The bartenders are incredibly knowledgeable and developed unique, well balanced cocktails for us with a local twist of Japanese spirits and botanicals. We went twice during our trip because the cocktails were so well executed. Would highly recommend it as a stop on your travels to Osaka if you want a unique and incredible cocktail experience .

So far my favorite bar in Osaka! Drinks and service were on point. Bartender's recommendations were lovely. Skillfully crafted and tasty. Bar back was always timely with water and snacks. I loved the music and the vibe. Can't wait to go back! Thank you...Arigatōgozaimasu! Favorite drink was called Reflections.

Bar Shiki is an intimate haven for cocktail enthusiasts, helmed by the masterful Keisuke-san. His craftsmanship is unmatched—each drink is tailored to your preferred flavor profile, resulting in some of the best cocktails you'll ever have. The attention to detail and precision in every pour make this bar a must-visit for those who appreciate expertly crafted drinks in a cozy, refined setting.

The perfect place to go for cocktails! There is no catalog and you will get a tailored made cocktail on the things you will ask. Huge variety of drinks to choose from. The bartender will explain you the drink and give you information over it. The decorations, the music and the vibe enhanced positively your experience!!
