Last weekend, and legend of highball in Kansai manner
Nov 06th 2009 02:31
Last Friday, I went to the bar "Rockfish" that serves whiskey highballs in Kansai manner.
I often went there in Saturdays before then, but I had never been there Friday.
In Kansai manner, highballs are made of chilled whiskey, chilled soda, and lemon peels.
This recipe was made in the bar "Kobe highball" that existed in Kobe once.
the recipe is succeeded by the bar "Samboa" and Rockfish is also a bar spun off from "Dojima Samboa".
Dojima is a area in Osaka and it's in an opposite bank of Kitahama,financial district of Osaka.
Like Waterloo and the City in London, they're separated in Dojima river.
Suntory, one of the largest beverage companies in Japan, was established in Osaka and
its headquarters in recording is in Doujima even now(in fact, its headquarters exists in Odaiba,Tokyo).
In Rockfish, highballs are made of whiskey "Suntory Kakubin" and soda "Wilkinson Tansan".
Wilkinson Tansan is a soda brand established by Clifford Wilkinson.
He came to Japan from UK in 1872 and in 1889, he found out a carbonated spring in Takarazuka by chance.
Now, the brand is managed by Asahi breweries group.
And its headquarters also moved to Tokyo.
but Wilkinson Tansan has been made in Kansai consistently.
For those reasons, Rockfish's highball makes me feel the essence of modern Kansai strongly.

Last weekend, and the legend of highball in the Kansai manner style
Last Friday, I went to the a bar called "Rockfish" that serves whiskey highballs in the Kansai manner style.
Before, I often went there in on Saturdays before then, but I had never been there on a Friday.
In the Kansai manner style, highballs are made of chilled whiskey, chilled soda, and lemon peels.
This recipe was first made in the a bar called "Kobe highball" that existed in Kobe once.
The recipe is succeeded by was passed on to the a bar called "Samboa"in Dojima, and Rockfish is also a bar spun off from "Dojima Samboa" this bar.
Dojima is a area in Osaka and it's in an on the opposite bank of from Kitahama, a financial district of in Osaka.
Like Waterloo, and the City in London, they're separated in by the Dojima river.
its headquarters in of recording (What is this? History?) is in Doujima even now(in fact, its the companies main headquarters exists is in Odaiba,Tokyo).
In Rockfish, highballs are made of from the whiskey "Suntory Kakubin" and the soda "Wilkinson Tansan".
He came to Japan from UK in 1872 and in 1889, he found out a carbonated spring in Takarazuka by chance.
Now, the brand is managed by the Asahi breweries group.
And its headquarters has also moved to Tokyo.
But Wilkinson Tansan has been made in Kansai consistently.
For those reasons, drinking Rockfish's highball makes me really feel the essence of modern Kansai strongly.
Thanks a lot.
> I lived in Kobe for a while
I'm also very surprised! I had grown up in Kobe until the earthquake!
