    This is going way over my head. I have no idea what they’re talking about anymore.

    It’s cool that they’re having a bartending showdown, but shouldn’t the cocktail that pleases the customer more be the better one?

    And these characters, pulling the guy away from his regular bartending gig to set up these contests.

    If I were trying to make a living, and these guys did that to me, I’d tell them to get lost.

      I suppose the show is trying to say that the taste of Sasakura’s cocktail deteriorates quickly so the while the first sip’s impact was higher for Miwa, if she finishes the glass the overall experience will be worse when compared to drinking Kuzuhara’s glass.

      It is hard to think that Sasakura who exhibits such control over his cocktail would make that kind of mistake, other than for plot reasons though.

      Kuzuhara gave Sasakura some harsh words, but we got a scene of Sasakura acting harsh towards Kawakami just before, so in both cases they might just be trying to cheer the other on to better themselves in some Japanese round about ways, I guess.

        This is my interpretation as well. It feels a bit excessive for just a couple slight differences in some cocktails, but what is anime if not a bit over the top.

    It’s nice to see that even Sasakura has room to grow, even though I didn’t really understand what happened with his Manhattan. I’m sort of resigned to the fact that I’m not going to really understand the more cocktail-y details (as a non-drinker) so some of the stuff like him giving advice to that junior bartender woman comes across as very “heart of the cards” to me and honestly that’s fine, lol.
