Best Short List of the Year Japan 2025
There are so many Chinese dining in the city but a good place to enjoy pairing wines and Chinese cuisine is here called Az. Located in the basement of the same building as the Michelin-starred Chi-Fu in Nishitenma, it is actually a casual dining establishment under the same management as Chi-Fu. They share their walk-in cellar with Chi-Fu upstairs, so you can pick any bottles you like from their selection.

Mashica is a restaurant and bar with a focus on natural wine and craft beverages, paired with Italian-based bar food. It's located in Higobashi, the business centre of Osaka city. The small dining room is usually crowded every day and in addition to the main counter seats, there are also tables for smaller groups, as well as seats outside for warm nights.

Not only for locals but for all the wine lovers in the world, I think Pasania is one of its kind in Osaka. It's located in Nakanoshima, and their history spans over more than half a century. People come from all over the world to try their combination of local traditional Okonomiyaki (Japanese pancake) and natural wine. This is also a place where a lot of chefs and sommeliers go to wind down with a glass of wine after they've finished their shifts.

Perche is a tiny and nice bar in Tenma, recently the hottest area for natural wine in Osaka. Here you'll find a standing counter and small tables for groups. The sommelier, Toshiya Kinoshita, is one of the best sommeliers of his generation. He knows everything about the traditional pairings of French cuisine and great French wine – but he's also very skilled and knowledgable when it comes to natural wine.
