Bag the corner spot with the curved sofa at Bar Bota, <a href="https://destinasian.com/osaka-hotels-four-seasons-hotel-osaka" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Four Seasons Osaka</a>’s cocktail den, for a prime view of the Osaka sunset. On a clear day you can see right across the city to the mountains. It’s a warm and inviting hangout: come for pre-dinner drinks and stay until the end of the night. The signature tipples are contemporary takes on classics based on the abundant botanicals available in Osaka. Try the very Japanese twist on the ever-popular espresso martini (think miso and maple) or the umeboshi martini, served ice-cold as it should be, chock-full of local flavors from red plum-washed gin to umami bitters and a feather-light touch of bonito flakes. —Alison Marshall
