Bee’s Knees

In the Gion area of Kyoto, we went to this speak easy. We couldn’t easily find it at first because the front door said “Book Store”.

Got several drinks, and also tried some from friends). From the ones listed below, I will say my favorites are the chocolate espresso martini, the bees fashion (ie old fashioned but using honey and another type of bitters).

The Auriental

Went to this speak easy the first night in Osaka Umeda (in the Kitashinchi area). Definitely had a lot of Japanese whisky selection.

The thing about this place is that they don’t have a menu (so it’s kinda hard to know how much you’re gonna pay unless you ask how much each whisky is).

I tried a version of Hibiki Harmony called the Blossom’s choice (around $400 a bottle). As well got a high ball (not sure what whisky). I would definitely come back here again (and try other whisky’s, but look up the prices online before ordering).

Also, the glasses looked pretty sick (as seen below)
