The Unknown Japanese Town Producing The World's Best Bartenders

There's a town in northern Japan that has produced a number of national championship winning bartenders, as well as the 1987 world championship winner. That town is Utsunomiya. Naturally, I went to all the best cocktail bars in Utsunomiya to find out what makes this town so great.

goshdarnit- Why didn't you post this when I was in Japan last week! well- I guess this town will be on the list for next time! Thank you for your dedication to no fluff YT

[@danylobaliuk5531]

Thank you so much for reviewing! I really needed it now

[@makiliv]

Maybe パイプの煙 (Paipu no Kemuri) 13:40 is about impermanence and the transitory, ephemeral nature of a cocktail experience?🤔🤓 Enjoyed the video, cheers!🍸

[@rudycordero8895]

Sigh, I can’t get enough of your videos

[@EdwardBullard]

Holy! Buckle up… I think I’m going to enjoy this video.

As a Sommelier (and a woman in my 40s), I swear by Z Biotics. It's a probiotic you take before you start drinking. I'm still a little tired the next day, without an actual hangover. It's like a miracle! Thanks for your amazing cocktail content 🍸 Kanpai!
