Japanese craftsman in a nutshell. The moment your master / sensei said you're "good enough", it means he could entrust the rest of the business to you or you're qualified enough to open your own shop.
Can you imagine carving with a knife 3 times that size. I think he is full of shit, the size it is now is more user friendly for carving. Yes I may be looking too far into it. But can you really see yourself carving with a knife 3 x that size
+BBQGuys.com He is all show, no skills. Rule #1, always fine strain cocktails with fresh juice or fruit. #2, in general always fine strain cocktails, served with no ice. After shaking there are ice shards on top of the cocktails which dilutes it more than needed, thus taking away some flavour. #3, ALWAYS taste the cocktail after shaking/stirring/rolling/whatever. You cant adjust a cocktail, say its perfect and then dilute it with 15-20ml of water. It completely changes the depth of flavour and balance -.-
I have been bartending for quite a while now at Jiggers in Herning. Also, instead of arguing back and forth, try reading the article on finestraining on the site difford's guide. Also, Hidetsugu Ueno-san has been a renowned bartender since 1992, but as many other asian top bartenders, they develop a couple of things themselves, and then sticks to it. Almost refusing to accept better techniques.
I really wish bartenders here in Las Vegas would taste the drinks before they send them. A 14 dollar drink shouldn't taste like lighter fluid or medicine.
Also places like Vegas don’t focus on quality as much as quantity. It’s a Tourist location so there’s always people moving in and out they focus on getting as many drinks as sold as possible
Hell yeah , im down with that . The Japanese masters are always inspiring and interesting to watch in whatever they do. So much attention to detail and technique .

I'd be too embarrassed to get drunk there. And I'll get drunk anywhere. Too much work and pride going into the drinks to just down them like a hooligan.
Cocktails are not beer, you sip it and enjoy the taste. If you want to down something, drink beer. It's cheaper. It's like buying a bottle of good wine and downing it. No one in their right mind would do that. Those that drink alcohol for the taste are different than those that drink for getting drunk. It's really two different kinds of people and both are ok. Honestly, if you got drunk there and he judged you for it, then he'd be a bad bartender since the whole point of this craft is to serve people with respect. Go enjoy your drinks however you want and don't be embarrassed because it's your life man.
+ALL ex I live in Japan and a lot of people often say "I can't drink", but what they really mean to say is "I'm a light drinker", so they DO drink, but just not much. It's a language thing. One beer or cocktail can give them a strong buzz.
actually, every time they see someone that's not japanese they try to paractice their english, and him as a bartender makes him more often to know people from other countries

Japan was way less draconian with their measures compared to the rest. The mortality rate for COVID in Japan is around 8 per 2,000,000 people. Look it up yourself. It begs the question what Western countries are doing wrong, or if COVID is really as bad as we've been led to believe.

The first cocktail really reminded me of my favorite cocktail, the aviation. It's gin, maraschino liqueur, creme de violette, and lemon juice. :) very light taste of floral and fruit.

His English is so damn good and honestly the best one I've heard so far. GREAT PRONUNCIATION
I love how cool bartenders setups behind them look, so many shiny bottles of things most of which I’ve never heard of
Damn, that is one man who takes some f**king pride in his work. I bet you can taste it in the finished product. Im kinda thirsty.
He's the first japenese person i hear who can speak english in american interview 😂
well done for not putting sub titles under this guy, his English is impeccable and he's incredibly knowledgeable in his field. great video 👌👌
That was very cool! :D
We're all here :)
+KBDProductionsTV omg ken!! hi
+The RUclips Dictator I'm here to
heyyu I know this guy!
+KBDProductionsTV get outta here Ken!
This man seems like he’s straight outta John Wick
I swear, any vocation done with this much passion, love and precision always makes for the most intriguing viewing... I freaking love these kinds of videos, and massively admire this man's dedication to his craft!!
This guy's the real deal. Respect the cocktail.
The first cocktail really reminded me of my favorite cocktail, the aviation. It's gin, maraschino liqueur, creme de violette, and lemon juice. :) very light taste of floral and fruit.
I like how this guy seems super chill but also really professional and intimidating
1:36
*MY MAN GOT THE STANCE AND EVERYTHANG*
Bar High Five juat got a million more potential customers from this video.
The way he said it “it’s beautiful” is how you know he knows art bc he is an artist!! 🙌🏼💎🖼
not much ppl can do it..
i mean..
0 bartenders can do it
He said 0 bartenders who cannot do it
I thought he was holding a diamond.
😂.
But really it was ice.
I have seen this 20 times and I still am amazed
Yakusa boss but it's a classy godfather bartender.
Yakusa LOL
I can't drink but I'll sip one of every 100-200 drinks I make for others a day
Anytime an old japanese dude is in ANY sort of craft or skilled labor I am sold. Japanese culture and their attention to detail makes any service suddenly a skilled craft that takes years to master
4:41 This guy runs a bar but dosen't even drink... what an absolute madlad
He did say his tolerance is weak. Little sip of it might drop him harder than a nuke on hiroshima.
I imagine it's like anything: you don't use what you sell.
Oh I don’t drink 🤗
Same Guy: I just take a sip of everyone else’s drink
2:59 did he just friggin cut the ice so that it fits flush in the glass? that's one hell of a precision work.
“I don’t drink” proceeds to taste every cocktail he makes.
😂😂
