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 cocktail menu is as eclectic as the bar team: Head bartender Andrei comes to Osaka from Coupette, one of London’s best known bars, while Khairil was previously at <a href="https://destinasian.com/kuala-lumpur-nightlife-bar-trigona" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bar Trigona</a> in <a href="https://destinasian.com/kuala-lumpur-hotels-four-seasons-kuala-lumpur" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Four Seasons Kuala Lumpur</a>. 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
