[@Anonymous594]

Me: *walks in* “Water, please” This guy: *grabs an oxygen atom and 2 hydrogen atoms*

[@sungcha8999]

😂

[@blairmclaughlin2680]

LOL

[@rajayseudath8059]

damn, busted a gut laughing after reading that.

[@AzureSkyCiel]

the only problem with Kayama-san is that if you tried to pick up on a girl at his bar by ordering her a drink, they'd fall in love with Kayama-san watching him make it. And so would you.

[@arnoldlaneii9861]

Don't look at him when he shakes ur drink !!

[@estbeta]

Enlighten me as to why could that be even remotely considered as a problem 😆😆

[@kungfuman82]

Well put.

[@johndinh2913]

Plot twist, YOU fall in love with Kayama lol

[@kazzy44]

i don't see that as a problem at all

[@v0zbox]

I was sold when he pulled out the jar of cochineal. That's the dried bodies of cactus-sucking insects used as a red food dye, in case you were wondering.

[@rogaldorn8991]

I was wondering why the drink was so red.

[@andrewkrahn2629]

v0zbox though apparently bottled campari doesn't use that anymore

[@talonviperchef4048]

I heard Starbucks stopped using that as well.

[@GoogleGoogle-yj3ot]

Peruvians use it to dye clothes too. I couldn't agree more with you.

[@benasjonusas6367]

Yeah, bugs. Japan's greatest bartender! Also, how is this campari?

[@negus_nark2159]

From experience and visiting Japan this guy is an accurate representation on how the Japanese people do their jobs/their culture with care, effort and hospitality.

[@Silentblogger659]

Took the words out of my mouth...or, fingertips, i guess.

[@ouch26]

Crafted with pride.

[@Fruit333p]

Negus_Nark and they have a "no tipping" culture... In the US they say if you tip your service will be better..lol..

[@jackrockwell6698]

chris v I'm an American bartender and would love to make stuff like this but Americans would lose their shit if their drinks took 5 minutes.

[@peterbear4413]

Those are some rather serious, hate-filled, and frankly racist accusations there. Perhaps you should consider that, like literally everywhere else in the world, there are good people and bad people in Japan, and not make such sweepingly ignorant and bigoted statements. Especially without providing a single shred of proof. Just food for thought.

[@cholze9146]

Campari: Out of stock. This guy: Fine, I’ll do it myself.

[@WadeTheWilsonTV]

The man has style oozing out of every inch of his being, and his recipes look flat-out AAA. That said, he isn't flashy. He is fully competent in every basic aspect of bartending. It's the way he holds himself and his recipes that places him as a notch above.

[@yashithjayasinghe444]

Wade the Wilson

[@TotallyNotASpy1]

This man is one of the reasons i am studying to become a bartender. There's just something about how every single small movement he does has a precise meaning and purpose, and he does everything so effortlessly. It's the level of elegance and dedication that i wish to reach in my life..

[@donaldkennedy1701]

I just went to his bar after watching these videos. He's in Shinjuku, Tokyo. Drinks were incredible and catered toward your taste. We got 8 drinks which ended up being less than $160 USD. Chill dude and knows his shit! Go there if you are in Tokyo

[@theeholliday]

Foley artist on this having way too much fun.

[@BAFLclan]

alone family okay thank you I was thinking the same thing

[@sorrychangedmyusername3594]

The Foley artist must be having a baller editing these.

[@madingthree]

these videos are basically a foley artist's wet dream

[@fiercefreewhole]

Watching Japanese bartenders is like watching an artist. Beautiful.

[@ninjahkittehh]

he seems like he'd be such a friendly person to approach. you can tell he's proud of what he does. love this.

[@lawrencevo]

man how I love 88rising keep up the great work

[@robertsyrett1992]

2:31 he checks the sweetness by placing a drop on the back of his hand and licking it. Smooth.

[@firstanrio4048]

He is very elegant

[@12346unkown]

I noticed that. Maybe cuz of the way its cut together but to me it looked like he just tried a drop of the syrup straight which wouldnt rly make sense obvs.

[@TotallyNotASpy1]

That's a pretty common thing to do in bars. However most bartenders don't do it because it can be considered rude in front of customers

[@hijiritasuzuki6454]

And he did that move in a really elegant way. I bet he had practiced this move for a long time.

[@robertsyrett1992]

@Jason Calcanis LOL

[@ashurakusanaga5917]

I'm not into ASMR, but everything about this video gives me chills, good chills. Especially with headphones. I heavily recommend good headphones.

[@LittleRedRidingHoo]

2:01 there you go, sir.. 2:04 just kidding it's not done yet..

[@nikkobanog]

Producer: How many ingredients you want? This guy: Yes

[@evsanger]

To sit and watch someone make campari from scratch effortlessly during the cocktail building process is just insane. Perfect.

[@crystaldeswardt6474]

The way he licked the syrup off his hand like a fucking cat lmao

[@alanyu5605]

he probably stirred the drink first before the video started from the cut. japanese bartenders taste their drinks before shaking to make sure they don't have to remake the drink after shaking and pouring.

[@ionut-dragosplesa3309]

+Alan Yu A good bartender tastes the drink just like a chef tastes the food.

[@Kellychen7]

That description +1

[@JonasClark]

Most bartenders taste their drinks. The most common method uses a straw with a thumb over the end, 2nd comes a tiny cup. But I've seen a lot of Japanese bartenders do it this way. I'm not sure why, but it seems to be not uncommon.

[@michealramilo917]

Jonas Clark its just a pretentious way of tasting.. Lol so called mixology

[@Gist432]

Good food is made with love, because without it there is no true effort. Same goes for coctails, and this is a man who enjoys his work. Love the editing btw!

[@ILoveBreakfast671]

I would probably pay 30 dollars for that drink. Probably 50 if I'm already drunk.

[@Garblegox]

I'd buy one and let all my friends try it out. I know they'd be dying to know how it tastes.

[@moderateatberkeley]

It's less than 20 dollars and Japanese bars will not take tip.

[@labrador7373]

You like to drink crushed insect juice?

[@ThisSentenceIsFalse]

Lol. The cochneal gave it a nice red color!

[@henrykashyap8913]

only if u have money , poor fuck

[@kevinlification]

needs more close ups and loud noises

[@braydenmcslouch]

KGrace yes I want my ears to tear apart and my eyes to melt

[@jmhadahorse]

The added sound effects ruin the video honestly, the raw audio was just fine.

[@YaroLord]

2 minutes into bartending and chill and he gives you that look

[@nzmcnfb]

first of all, great video editing and shooting. and this is a great bartender. very clean, works with care, and knows his stuff.

[@mauiwkeyz7804]

When he puts the ice in the shaker and shakes its the same clip everytime i swear

[@calidoll6120]

This reminds me of this weird bartender cartoon game where you'd pick the liquids and stuff and hed shake it and drink it and see whether it tasted good or bad I liked it either way lol

[@ST-zn3fj]

You could make the boston shaker explode, which is the funniest fail in my book

[@mat2468xk]

The game is called: "Bartender: the Right Mix" or something like that. And yeah, I know this comment is old.

[@JimothyPicking]

Watching you make these drinks is calming honestly

[@raunakverma3293]

It's always so mesmerising watching him prepare the drink...though I've never been to Japan but I'm already his fan...😁

[@hongkyunnoh6916]

these quality videos they upload makes me want to work at 88 rising. dope.

[@allisonjimena617]

2:30 besides his sophisticated attitude, he's got a hint of playfulness when a drop of syrup got on his hand 😰😖😍😍

[@BrunoVidalLordOfAwesomeness]

This is art

[@Beau74]

Ingredients for fresh campari cocktail: 1) Twigs from the back yard 2) Tree bark shavings 3) Random chunks of debris from the living room carpet 4) One fistful of soft sandstone rocks, finely crushed 5) Clamato Enjoy!

[@furself114]

hilarious!

[@Aleph-Noll]

dont forget the bugs lol

[@amandasmith6821]

Amazing quality and editing of these videos! Loving this shot, keep it up!

[@andrewkrahn2629]

FYI: cochineal is a crushed dried insect used to make a very bright red dye (doesn't last long, so it's usually just in cosmetics)

[@_dez]

these videos are so dope!!! keep them comingggg

[@jaydayasser4010]

he's so swift and delicate with his moves... he'd call me vulgar if he saw how i shake a bottle of juice.

[@LegazzyXcluzive]

This is fucking beautiful, I'm a cook with only 4 years of experience, I love my job but This just shows you how the food/beverage industry can hold so much class and elegance

[@digitallydelusional8613]

imho I think the sound effects add a certain crisp feeling that makes the video that little bit more relaxing

[@CTcCaster]

That sudden face-zoomed in tho, scared the shit outta me, geez.

[@edwardscruggs6555]

Brilliant with your usual elegant presentation!

[@TheMisterCrea]

Shit givin me chills. Love it.

[@Randolph_]

One thing i noticed on these videos is the sound. So crisp, so sharp to the point that it almost sounded artificial. the water drops, the crushed herbs...

[@ashurakusanaga5917]

I ain't into ASMR, but there's something about this video that gives me pleasant chills every time I've watched this.

[@Lawgiver19]

I could watch this for days! wonderful video!

[@thiefrules]

my wallet hurts just thinking about how expensive this bar would be

[@SmurfYeahBizNitches]

[@YaroLord]

americans are used to getting completely ripped off on bars here if it's a luxury bar sure they can charge anything for a cocktail like this, but an averagely nice place wouldn't be over 20€

[@keekeestudio5203]

who's here at end of 2019?

[@ashurakusanaga5917]

I don't know why I seem to come back every two years, but it has to be the overall sound in the video. The "ASMR" content creators on TikTok are undeserving fakers compared to this level of poise and sound. If I wanted to hear some nobody chew crackers in my ear, or run their $1 manicured nails over their "pro" mic, or pop their mouth/mumble/whisper nonsense, I'd go to any CoD lobby on Xbox. This however is ART is many senses of the word.

神だ、、、

[@tylerm6809]

Would shaking all those dry ingredients really add an impacting flavor to the drink without time to infuse? I'm under the impression that bitters and amari (like Campari; yes, I consider Campari and amaro) need time to extract the flavors from its ingredients. At the very least, I would ISI rapid infuse. Thoughts?
