Yoshida at Go Umeda

An authentic Kitashinchi bar since 2008 pairing food with bespoke cocktails, famed for fruit cocktails.

BAR YOSHIDA is an authentic bar in the Sonezakishinchi district of Kitashinchi, opened in 2008 with a clear philosophy of honouring proper bar craft while celebrating the pleasure of food alongside the drink. The owner hails from Shikoku, and that heritage shows in a celebrated line of fruit cocktails built from carefully sourced seasonal produce. The bar is known for its cocktail and food pairing, where the bartender crafts a drink to match each course right at the counter. The kitchen turns out a la carte and course menus that stand up to the drinks, from tomato cream pasta to roast beef with pomegranate and red wine sauce, while the cocktail list ranges from brandy-driven fruit cups to seasonal specials such as kumquat sidecars and yuzu gin tonics. Closed on Sundays, the intimate counter suits solo drinkers, couples and small groups who appreciate a bar that takes both food and drink seriously. It is a favourite for after-dinner second rounds and celebratory evenings alike. Let Go Umeda lead you to this characterful counter for a glass that is poured with intent and a bite that rises to match. BAR YOSHIDA is Kitashinchi at its warmest, a small room with a generous spirit and a flavour you will remember.
