I’ve been watching this video over the years since it was first released 11 years ago! It’s one of my favorites and has gotten me to sleep so many times.

[@illegaldoorknob1432]

Just realized that this video has over a million views and only 70 comments, proves how relaxing it is

[@kelvinhl]

I've personally met Shingo almost a decade ago and his namesake bar 'Speak Low' in Shanghai is the world's best period!

[@thiagocoutinhodasilva1049]

I use this video to get asleep. Works every time

[@jaehaerysitargaryen7923]

[@apophisstr6719]

Should've name this cocktail the "Daburu Kurasshu"

[@super999999]

This is one beautiful cocktail.

[@dp91killa]

Excellent .

[@Meteotrance]

" For Relaxing time make it Japanese Speak Low time hahaha ^^" congrat using amai macha for this or regular macha are a great idea ^^.

[@luzbelitoescomoyo]

Amazing! Recipe?

[@Sirmrpuppet]

I have no idea what he does in the end, I am intrigued

[@Tejas_Surveyor_1836]

He’s expressing the oils from the lemon over top. It adds some citrus mainly to the smell of the cocktail

[@joebro2tle257]

Almost 1m views and only 26 comments? Odd.

[@Sultanified]

comments were turned off since forever until the start of 2020

[@TruongDaoMB]

Smooth

[@fansihsahn7973]

What is the first one?

[@juanO64yoshi]

Congrats to 1,000,000 views!

[@Suphix180]

He's starting to believe

[@DarenSankari]

What's the osborne bottle, whiskey?

[@gustavocasino786]

Spanish sherry wine

[@chichi-x3u1u]

❤

[@LoRenzo05e86]

Excuse me, what the green thing is? It look's like wasabi

[@mysteryfoxes]

I believe it's green tea.

[@LoRenzo05e86]

Ahahahahah, thanks!

[@Sushidrew]

Joachim Peiper It's maccha (抹茶). Mocha is a coffee beverage prepared with espresso, chocolate, and hot milk.

[@deanagewasteland6658]

WHAT WAS THE GREEN STUFF?

[@lwendt220]

I believe it is Matcha powder

[@merd3]

Anyone have a recipe for this?

[@saintjimmy9114]

The video description does: 1 oz Bacardi Superior rum 1 oz Bacardi Solera rum 1/2 oz Osbourne Pedro Ximinez sherry 1 tsp matcha (green tea) and zest of yuzu I know it's been a year, just pointing it out in case you're still wondering.

[@jeezuschryst]

[@Meyrick117]

Ive watched this hundreds of times now and the ending with the orange peel still feels just as awkward now as it did when I watched this for the first time years ago

[@yungarod1173]

@Meyrick93 Same I watched this like a hundred times, never understood why he squeeze a orange peel ?

[@savysimracing]

@@yungarod1173 I think it’s more for the nice fragrance the orange gives off more than anything, just to give your drink a little more class and aesthetic

[@Sultanified]

@@yungarod1173 essential oils will be released in mist form which makes it more fragrant

[@CrazyMegaOmega]

@@yungarod1173 very common with fancy drinks, can't see it on camera but when you do that it mists juice and oils onto the rim of the glass which you can taste when taking a sip

[@jeezuschryst]

Why do you find it awkward??

[@xsredx13]

Where is this bar?

[@SugoiEnglish1]

Ginza, Tokyo.

[@marcotoni231]

no need for words, the drink is talk enough son.

[@RemyLouise]

Now I need an alcoholic drink.

[@_langley5182]

これ8年前ってマ？…

[@あさ-g9z2p]

時は無常

[@mazemainx]

2022

[@TheGuyCalledX]

Bacardi 8, not the bottom shelf stuff

[@1sam1adams1]

lulz the most quiet bar tending video in have ever seen

[@raghavendrahegde8833]

Is he making shaving cream ??1:00

[@YouStinkFather]

Yes. This is the only drink this guy knows how to make.

[@RaphaelO12398]

Wtf only 29 comments?

[@dr.darkness94]

well everyone fall asleep before comment. 😂

[@Flackon]

matcha + pedro jiménez? That's one weird mix...

[@richras5003]

0:01 oh, its very interesting😮 1:46 nooo, the fingers in the ice 😫 1:49 ...uhmmm😵

[@Airestotle09]

I mean if your gonna do something for this long might as well have fun 😅

[@user-unifanta]

well is this thing strong enough to make me drunk?

[@dongshenghan1473]

Dark rum + light rum + brandy. Looks very high ABV to me

[@sneezachoo]

Why use bad rum like bacardi for such an artistic thing?

[@MrAsaqe]

Barcardi is a proven mixer rum, perfect for a rum blend drink like this where you have the earthy bitterness of the matcha with a mixed profile of rum

[@YouStinkFather]

This is the only drink he knows how to make and needs shoddy ingredients to make it.

[@CloudMusicProduction]

i mix everything up in a plastic bowl. shake it 2 times. and it probably tastes exactly the same. xD looks nice anyways.

[@EyeOnTheTV]

/watch?v=CKgeEFgxoEQ

[@directfader]

I like how classy he looks but why go to the trouble of doing everything unnecessarily flashy? Getting ice requires aggressive stabs with his tong; pouring the alcohol requires not his index and thumb but his index and middle finger; he blends the drinks with a brush? Seriously, just make the fucking drink already and move on.

[@illznik2]

He holds the measuring cup between his index and middle finger so he doesn't have to put down the cap to the bottle. He blends the drink with a brush that is specially designed for dissolving the powder he put into the drink. Yeah, the ice grabbing was a little over the top, but most of the stuff he does is to make the drink properly / save time.

[@Daninjito]

Some 'mericans don't appreciate the beauty of drink making.

[@TheChumm]

Danny Heng Except 'mericans invented the cocktail and our craft bartenders don't lick their hands or touch ice with their hands while preparing a drink with Bacardi Superior (aka rubbing alcohol).

[@GaetanLloyd]

Flair adds to the experience for some people. compare it to how some people pay to go to a hibachi restaurant in America, to watch the food be made in front of them. Is it necessary? No. Does it add to the enjoyment for some people? Absolutely.
