Today I mix up 2 mizuwaris and dive into its deep ties to Suntory and the rise of whisky in Japan! Along the way I'll touch on its relations to tea ceremony through the shared philosophy of omotenashi.

There's a lot here that I didn't even cover so I'd love to make a follow up some day. But for now, this marks the end of my bartender series! It been great but idk if I'd make 6 videos in a row on the same show again LOL
