    I would have loved to see more of this bar. I love the atmosphere this bar has and I love the aesthetics, it awakens my dormant artistic soul and makes me feel like sketching something. P.S. I would have loved to see more of the drinks too, this bartender is definitely an artist, and I would love to see more of his creations.

    Hi, I left a comment on another one of your videos a while back regarding how I planned on visiting all the places you're channel has recommended. I finally finished my trip to Japan while visiting my long-distance partner and I just wanted to thank you so much for your videos, otherwise we wouldnt have found some of our favorite bars <3 Shiki stood out to me the most----Nakaichi-san was incredibly kind and we were lucky enough to be his only customers for several hours on a Friday evening. He really pampered us and even convinced me to pick up a bottle of gin before I left the country since he highly recommended it 😅. Thank you again for all these vids and I look forward to where you visit next! (P.s. some places I'd be interested in seeing you visit are Lamp Bar in Nara and Tom&Jerry Bar in Osaka!) Cheers!~

    Really nice! When does he put campari in? Is that the pink cream with campari or is the pink cream raspberry cream? What is he shaking after stirring the cocktail?

    • @wineandspiritsofjapan2868

      @buuzac9825 Рік тому

      ​@@wineandspiritsofjapan2868 Thank you so much for the kind reply! Any chance you know what coffee is being used? Espresso perhaps? When he stirs the cocktail does he stir with ice? Is the cream shaken with ice or dry shaken? How does he make the campari and cream look so smooth together? It is hard to tell from the video and I would love to make this cocktail at home if possible! Any instructions you can give are really appreciated.
