@@VladSlickBartender in chile we have good wine, even our ''bad'' wine, (pipeño), that is oxided white wine (the barrel where it is made is crafted of a wood with a lot of pores, so it oxidized), the pipeño is used to make a really simple punch, but really tasty, you can use white wine or even sparkling wine. TERREMOTO (means earthquake) 6-8 Oz of Wine Add a ball of Pineapple Ice Cream (it chils the mix) The 2 oz of grenadine The story of this simple punch was that after a really strong earthquake, the people started to drink it with the scraps of the stuff they got, this punch bond the people together and is drinked anually during the independence week of chile.

So fabulous. I'd love to see a part 2 of Japanese cocktails!

[@VladSlickBartender]

I decided to do part 2 after visiting Japan myself and do thorough research ☺️ But keep postponing because of travel restriction 😢

[@abdelbentiken9682]

Good job 💪

[@janseiler3303]

Incredible how much passion these guys put into their drinks.

[@Barprints]

Hibiki is probably my favorite whisky right now. LOVE the artistry of Japanese cocktail making!

[@Yasira91]

Wow the matcha highball blew my mind off, in my opinion it reflects japanese taste very well. Looks so simple yet refreshing in its own way. You might gave me the push in the right direction to make my signature cocktail for my upcoming mixology class!

[@mndlessdrwer]

I've noticed that the Japanese are a culture that really appreciates a slightly bitter flavor, and matcha is a perfect representation of that. Even ceremonial-grade matcha powder will have that slight bitterness cutting through the barely sweet, vegetal flavors of the tea. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of matcha due to the slightly gritty texture it can have, even when the quality of the leaves and grind is good. Some people describe it as having a silky, creamy mouthfeel because of the texture the powder imparts to the liquid, but it's a textural problem for me, so I typically make mine as a latte if I use it at all, since the milk helps to mask the texture for me. If you want to cheat, get an electric milk frother and use it to mix your matcha with water or milk for your beverage.

[@StudZyYT]

I’ve been getting very interested in bartending and making cocktails in general and this is definitely like my favorite channel helping me learn more thank you for all the great content to learn from :)

[@David_Torres_97]

I love the extra, high quality shot after every cocktail is finished!!

[@RabidHobbit]

Agreed; such a nice touch

[@avocadowarrior6872]

Your filming and production style fits extremely well the theme of cocktail making, it's just so elegant

[@floriankoch9910]

The last one seems pretty interesting.. Mixing whisky with green tea isn't the first thing that comes to mind.. 😏

[@kerwinlao3939]

Florian Koch its actually a very popular method in Hong Kong Macau, and some places in China

1 oz Jameson 0.5 oz peach schnapps 0.5 oz Southern Comfort 0.25 lemon juice 0.25 simple Top with soda water or sprite (preference) I call it the Long Greenland. It's like a green tea shot but prepared like a long island, but tastes like lipton green tea with a splash of peach.

[@JustiaFiat]

@@iansamuel1811 sorry to bring it to you but lipton green tea with peach doesn't taste like green tea at all

[@iansamuel1811]

@@JustiaFiat i mean, you aren't wrong, thats why i said it taste like "lipton green tea", not "green tea" haha try it, it's pretty legit. sold many of them to my patrons

[@sal6827]

You are completely right, Japanese bartenders are really professional and really skilled. I love their passion. I really hope to try one of those cocktails one day.. but for now I will just keep watching your videos! Thank you, you're great

[@VladSlickBartender]

🇯🇵 🤘🔥❤️

[@BklynRican329]

Had the privilege of going to Tokyo earlier this year, they love their highballs for sure. And their whiskey is delicious

[@ちゃんなぎ-h1f]

I'm Japanese. I often watch your videos. Thank you for picking up Japanese cocktails. I love umeshu and gingerale cocktails. Try it!!

[@Horseations]

I love Japanese whisky and their cocktail culture! I'm always so fascinated watching their bartenders make drinks on youtube. I have yet to visit a cocktail bar in Japan, definitely a goal for the future! I believe it is pronounced: U (like the oo sound in "noodles") ME (like the me sound in "men") SHU (somewhat like the shoo in "shoot") I'm not Japanese, but I took Japanese class for 5 years and studied in Japan for a semester. I hope that helps!

[@RexyRonin]

Man! It's so fascinating to see how different Japanese bartering is!

[@sonny9390]

Japanese bartending is a completely different culture to normal American bartending as they take time with each drink compared to America where it's style and speed

[@VladSlickBartender]

Incredible!

[@masteroogway2438]

I mean as a bartender I’m waaaay to busy to spend more than a minute per drink

[@elite6848]

Well style is important and so is speed on a busy night.. The thing is japanese things are always considered high quality but i feel like people are tricked into believing something is high quality just because its japanese, Europe definedly has the most variable unique and intresting set of alcoholic beheverages Finland sweden,russia italy Serbia etc

[@Slayr.]

I'm new into making drinks for myself and I gotta say your videos are visually satisfying to watch and are very professional/educational.

[@VladSlickBartender]

Thanks a lot super happy to hear that!

[@Heart_I3reaker]

Japanese culture is my absolute favorite culture to follow! You've just added another reason to love it more than I already do. Cheers and thanks for this tutorial!

[@Stefan9271]

watching your videos is so relaxing I'm not even drinking cocktails or much alcohol but man this is true craft skills combinded with such a creativity and passion Keep it up you are awesome!

[@gabriel912]

“I’m definitely be counting your likes though” 😂

[@VladSlickBartender]

The best way to keep me motivated ❤️!!! ☺️

[@alfonsocruz3079]

Man!!! The Japonese culture is so amazing even in this!! As you comment i the video, a friend of mine showme a video of a japonese bartender and he shake the drink for 20 min!!!! wowwww!! but the end result was amazing the foam of the drink was so cool even go beyond the glass but not loosing any shape!! The firts cocktail was my favorite!!! Cheers dude !!!

[@VladSlickBartender]

Incredible cocktail culture

[@alfonsocruz3079]

Vlad SlickBartender my daughter loves all that is japanese!!!

[@simonsmith8392]

Not going to lie, but you looked like a bar tending Hannibal Lecter when you started talking all quiet and dressed up in the beginning.

Ah have I found a fellow fannibal?

[@kohanaw1340]

Thank you for introduce Japanese whisky and traditional liqueur "UMESHU". It's very beautiful and looks delicious!😋 日本の美味しいウィスキーと伝統的なリキュールの梅酒を紹介いただきありがとうございます。 とっても綺麗で美味しそうです✨

[@mndlessdrwer]

The manga "Bartender" is an interesting read and provides quite a few fantastic cocktail recipes as well as their history and some useful bartending techniques. It's nowhere near as flashy and bombastic as many of the food-based manga out there, but is still an excellent series.

[@andreaacqua2949]

I have never seen a person with so much passion

[@shurveydevon9608]

Not that I will be able to make thus in my life ever! But def looking forward to part 2.

My favorite cocktail from this video is probably the matcha highball or the Japanese whiskey float highball. The Umetini sounds super interesting but I am a huge fan of the highball. It's just so interesting to me that such care is taken with such a simple cocktail.

[@behrpalomo4479]

@ 3:00 be careful with the ice touching the edge and losing whiskey, otherwise you see this: the whiskey pouring over the ice and down the outside of the glass and dripping through the grate. Good thing it’s not 17 year old whiskey being lost! Great videos as always Vlad, love your attitude!

[@jeanpolonepomuceno6775]

The attention to detail that Japanese bartenders give is amazing

[@ShadowsOfTheSky]

You did a good job pronouncing Umeshu, it is oo-may-shoo, but the shu is voiceless, so it's somewhere between the word "Shoe" and just "Sh," it's like "Sh" with just the sliver of a "oo" that is just barely there. That's how a Japanese native might say it, and with a different cadence, but your pronunciation is perfect for someone who doesn't know any Japanese
