Enjoy highballs with Japanese whiskey

When we’re in Kyoto, we often look for a cozy bar to unwind after dinner, and we found the great spot: Highball Bar Kyoto 1923. Conveniently located on Shijo Street, between the vibrant Pontocho Alley and Kawaramachi Street, this bar couldn’t have been better placed. It’s an ideal stop for that nightcap on the way back to our hotel, allowing us to soak up a little more of Kyoto’s lively atmosphere before calling it a night.

This place is a short walk from Gion-Shijo Station and Kawaramachi Station, right in the heart of where everything happens at night. What makes Highball Bar Kyoto 1923 stand out is their obsession with making the perfect highball. They use fresh mountain water, lots of fizz, and super clear ice that doesn’t melt too fast. This means you get a refreshing drink that stays cold and tasty from start to finish.

The natural water they use comes from mountains nearby, giving a fresh taste that you don’t find everywhere. The drinks at Highball Bar Kyoto 1923 have a nice kick of bubbles that really wake up your taste buds. The clear ice keeps everything chilled just right, without watering down your drink.

What’s really cool about this place is how the bartenders really know their stuff. They’re not just there to pour drinks; they’re there to make sure you have a great time. They can suggest the perfect highball that fits what you like, making the whole experience more personal.

For those of us who love whiskey, this bar is a gold mine. They serve highballs using some of the best Japanese whiskeys like Chita, Hibiki, and Yamazaki. It’s a fun way to try these famous whiskeys in a lighter, more refreshing form.

The vibe of Highball Bar Kyoto 1923 is just as good as the drinks. The dim lights and cozy seats make it a great place to relax and have a good time with friends. It’s the perfect spot to chill after a day of exploring the city or to start off a night on the town.

The prices are pretty fair too—highballs go for between 600 and 800 yen. They also have some tasty snacks if you get hungry, which go great with the drinks.
