The Auriental

The Auriental is a modern classic cocktail bar located on the third floor of Mori Building in Osaka's prestigious Kitashinchi district, just a minute's walk from JR Kitashinchi Station. The establishment, owned by a bartender trained at five-star hotels, specializes in original cocktails featuring generously used seasonal domestic fruits, with particular acclaim for their Moscow Mule variation incorporating jasmine, myoga, burdock, and truffle. The sophisticated space offers both calm counter seating and spacious sofa areas where guests experience carefully selected whiskeys and brandies from around the world. Operating from 5 PM to 2 AM (closed Sundays), the venue creates what the owner describes as a serene environment where time flows slowly, providing an escape from the bustling city. Signature cocktails showcase Japanese ingredients and seasonal innovation at an average dinner cost of approximately ¥6,000.
