This bar was quite difficult to find, down a dark back alley, we had to get some locals to help us locate it. Don't give up the search though because this bar is well worth the visit! I've updated Google Maps with the location of the entrance as well as posted some pictures with arrows pointing you in the right direction. The minute we stepped into Kinjo's bar we were welcomed with a friendly smile and a "konnichiwa". There are about 8 seats up at the bar and two tables at the back for group seating, we chose to sit up at the bar so we could watch Kinjo work. He is so friendly and has lots of stories about his travels around the world in pursuit of the perfect cigar - he'll even show you the album of his recent trip to Cuba.

Read moreFirst times and first impressions are important. For me it was the first time in a classic cigar lounge, and it was an amazing experience. Coming in from the fast, crowded streets of Osaka, it's like hitting the brakes, an oasis of calmness, style, and Havanna vibes. The owner is a true aficionado, having traveled the world, you can feel the passion in every detail. Being a beginner, he didn't try to sell me the most expensive cigars but picked me smooth, tasteful cigars, whiskey and rum. You can trust his recommendation 100%. It was truly a perfect experience with very personal touch. My girlfriend who doesn't smoke cigars or drinks liquor was accommodated too with the best piña colada she ever had.
