Shanghai has exactly one place on the list so far: Oji, honored by Difford's Guide.

Rank 1. Oji
Speakeasy
Dial zero on the retro telephone tucked inside El Ocho and a door opens into a 17-seat cocktail bar where there is no menu, only a conversation. The bartender listens, then builds something to order, while hot towels and crystal water glasses set a register closer to Tokyo than Shanghai. The passion here is personal in a way a larger room could never sustain.
