Kayama-San was not working last night but all the workers there are just as careful and elegant. Truly master craft bar tending.

The work ,study and dedication they have put into this profession in mind blowing.

    It's definitely amazing to watch. There's a certain amount of dedication to process & an unmatched level of grace used by those this skilled in their craft that holds the standard of bar none.
    I'm curious to know how many bartenders are on staff on a busy night because I can't imagine just one bartender being able to accomodate for large, intricate drink orders while still maintaining that level of dedication to process & doing it as efficiently while having to go 2 to 3 times as quick to make drinks that require multiple steps and/or specific garnishments. One thing for certain this gentleman takes bartending to a whole new level of art form & is fascinating to watch his skills in progress.❤Thank you for sharing this.

    Damn this brings me back when I was stationed in Japan and there was a bar in Hiroshima that had just one guy it was a tiny hole in the wall kind of place but it was classy and the guy always had a white tux made the best drinks always gave some free snacks and even when it was raining one day the barkeep gave me and my friend a free umbrella… he didn’t speak any English but he treated us like royalty in a country which often when it comes to nice/classy places are quick to throw up the “no gaijin” I miss that place

    I'm talking about a robust deeply sophisticated notion of hallucination. Hallucinations that are so real you cannot distinguish them from reality. Hallucinations that are so mesmerizing that... Imagine that you started imagining that you were a cocktail and you just sat there day after day after day imagining that you were a cocktail and you imagined it so much that you literally became a cocktail and you could not remember anymore that you were ever a human. That's the kind of power of imagination that I'm talking about.

People come up to me all the time, they say, "Donald, how do you do it?" And I tell them, "It's all up here," pointing to my head. And let me tell you, when I imagine something, it becomes real. I once imagined I was the greatest president ever, and look where I am now! So, folks, never underestimate the power of imagination, because with a little imagination, anything is possible.
