JAPANESE HIGHBALL STAND @ WET BAR (Image)
The luxury lifestyle hotel W Osaka (Location: 4-1-3 Minamisemba, Chuo-ku, Osaka; General Manager: Peter Lucas) will launch the 'JAPANESE HIGHBALL STAND @WET BAR' at the 'WET BAR' on the hotel's 4th floor starting Saturday, April 25, 2026. It emerges as a new concept bar that freely draws out the charm of Japanese whisky.
A new highball experience that draws out the charm of Japanese whisky through versatile combinations.
In addition to rare brands such as 'Hibiki 30 Years', 'Hibiki 21 Years', and 'Yamazaki 25 Years', a diverse lineup of Japanese whiskies including 'Yamazaki 12 Years', 'Hakushu 12 Years', 'Chita', and 'Hibiki Blender's Choice' are available.
A new style highball stand where you can freely choose the combination of carbonation strength, minerals, and condiments to tailor a glass to your liking. A whisky concierge will propose a drink suited to the occasion, from pre-dinner to post-dinner. By multiplying the casual appeal of a 'stand' with the quality and atmosphere unique to W Osaka, we deliver a different experiential value with every glass.
Furthermore, W Osaka introduces a bottle keep system for the first time, shifting the experience from simply 'drinking up' a single whisky to 'savoring it completely'. Through a glass that changes depending on the combination and proposal, we offer a new appeal to the highball. Please enjoy a luxurious and sensational highball woven by the deep flavors of Japanese whisky.
WET BAR Food Menu Example
'WET BAR' food pairings that complete the glass.
The food menu features snacks such as 'Seasonal Vegetable Sticks with Smoked Mayonnaise and Truffle Mayonnaise', where the smokiness beautifully overlaps with the whisky's lingering finish, and 'Beef Jerky', whose concentrated umami enhances the drink. There is also a lineup of satisfying signature dishes. Simple yet memorable dishes are prepared, such as 'Dashimaki Tamago' where the flavor of the broth gently spreads, and the 'Beef Fillet Cutlet Sandwich with W Original Sauce', generously stuffed with juicy fillet meat.
For moments when you are quietly tilting your glass alone, or quietly chatting with someone special. In a space drifting with W Osaka's edgy sensibility, please enjoy a personal pairing experience that accompanies your mood and drink of the day.
