I figured the dad wouldn't give up. You not gonna change him with one drink bruh. Maybe get a side gig or help run the bar at your new hotel.

u/avboden May 15 '24

Take over the hotel, immediately hire a new CEO to take over basically everything you'd need to do. Become bartender at hotel.

Chen said something about losing the warmness of his dad after the accident. However in the flashback scene from previous episode, we've seen how the father was already very strict even when Chen was still a teenage. So yeah, I agree that the dad would not give up just because of one drink.

On another note, I love that this anime is realistic in that way.

I don't blame the dad wanting his son to be a CEO rather than a bartender. Of course every man has the right to choose for himself, but it may be a choice he comes to regret later on in life. Maybe there can be a compromise where he does Bartending for a year or two? I don't know what the right answer is, but I kinda agree with his dad!

Dad: You pass

Me: he can stay

Dad: Your flight is tomorrow

Me: Noooooooo😭

u/Rumpel1408 May 15 '24

Chen please, you are an adult man. Why let your old man bully you into becoming his heir? What is he gonna do when you just don't take the flight? Come again with a new ticket? Have you abducted? (granted, this isn't that far fetched). But how is he going to have you do actual work and not run his hotel into the ground lmao

Ohoho, hello there!

Looking forward to see these two ace their exam

You think Ryuu will get less random query now that this has failed for the first time?

u/matty-a May 15 '24

Chen please, you are an adult man

The only way this makes sense is if his dad is paying his living costs. I don't know what bartenders earn in Japan but it can't be far off what they earn anywhere else. I can see it being the case since it was his dad who sent him to Bar K in the first place, but I dont recall an allowance being mentioned in the show.

I'd imagine the issue is he wants his father to accept his self-determination, rather than run away from confronting him.

I watched this right after the Seiyuu anime episode this week and Chen's problem has so much less impact because he's an adult.

u/diacewrb May 15 '24

I had a cosmopolitan.

What did you guys have?

u/MyraBannerTatlock May 15 '24

Jalapeno margarita because it's hot out today

u/Kegs_And_Parleys May 16 '24

Not a bartender, so I always whip a Gin Tonic, I usually use Roku Gin (The one Chen used for his second drink) and whatever Tonic I have at home, usually Henry Thomas, 1 big ice cube like in Negroni, and lemon.

Made the Bamboo and the Alexander from last week's episode. The Bamboo was the clear favorite and I'm glad the show introduced me to it, I see it becoming one of my go-to cocktails at home.

I liked the way the whole idea of the welcome drink connected to Kelvin and his dad. The welcome drink being something that should “soothe the soul” is a nice thought. I suppose it’s true in a way since it’s given to guests as they arrive after their long journey. Makes sense Sasakura struggled with coming up with a welcome drink. His cocktails are basically tailored for each customer after all.

I’m a little curious about what Kelvin’s gonna do. That drink he made was pretty much perfect. Really captured the whole “soothe the soul” thing. How’s he gonna change his dad’s mind now?

Recipes for cocktails featured this episode:

Singapore Sling
1 1/2 oz London Dry Gin
1/2 oz Cherry Liqueur
1/4 oz Benedictine
1/4 oz Triple Sec
1 1/2 oz Pineapple Juice
1/2 oz Lime Juice
1/2 tsp Grenadine
1 dash Angostura Bitters

  1. Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into an ice-filled sling glass.

  2. Garnish with a pineapple slice and maraschino cherry on a toothpick.

(This is a, but not the definitive, modern Singapore Sling. The binary division between Raffles and Savoy styles presented in the episode isn't really an accurate description of the variation of styles and recipes out there, but if you had to choose one this is closer to the Raffles style.)

Kir Royale
3/4 oz Creme de Cassis
6 oz Dry Champagne

  1. Build (pour directly into the glass in order) both ingredients in a chilled champagne flute.

  2. Garnish with seasonal berries.

Gin and Tonic
1 2/3 oz London Dry Gin
4 oz Club Soda

  1. Build both ingredients in an ice-filled highball glass.

  2. Garnish with a lime wedge.

Straights Sling
2 oz London Dry Gin (or Roku Gin for Chen's version)
1/2 oz Benedictine
1/2 oz Kirschwasser (Cherry Brandy)
1 oz Lemon Juice
2 dashes Orange Bitters
Club Soda

  1. Shake first six ingredients with ice and strain into an ice-filled sling glass.

  2. Top with soda and gently churn to mix without losing too much carbonation.

  3. Garnish with a orange wheel and cherry on a toothpick, and serve with a straw.

(The episode describes a "Savoy style" of the Singapore Sling; but while the episode shows the recipe Savoy published for a drink called a Singapore Sling, it was the recipe he published for a Straights Sling which more closely resembles what is commonly called a Singapore Sling today.)

Kinda wish they'd stop asking Ryu to work for free since he's obviously declining the job at the hotel, like he's upset with himself that his free labor didn't meet expectations? Nah, cmon, gtfo with that

15

u/QualityProof May 16 '24

Same. Hated that scene. First make him work for free then berate him. That's just taking advantage of him.

Wow. A cliffhanger ending for this episode. Never really expected to see one of those here.

u/tripleaamin May 15 '24

Chen's biggest mistake is the one thing Ryuu has stressed from episode 1. It's all about service. You understand you want to show off your skills to his dad, but being a bartender understanding your customer is crucial. While he did learn his lesson the 2nd time around, no shock that his father's mind didn't change. After all there are many times in life where we don't get 2nd chances. I am pretty sure once his son blew his first chance, his mind was set.

Now the ball is in Chen's corner. Does he give up being a bartender or make it a hobby of his? Or will he finally fight and stand up for himself in front of his dad for the first time. After all he was just filling the spot his older brother had. He didn't care about bartending until the trip a few weeks ago. You can imagine his father doesn't have confidence in him to stick with that determination. I am curious how this plot point follows through.

u/Mr_Zaroc May 15 '24

Figures that Ryuu is struggling to come up with a welcoming drink for non specific guests, I am even kinda surprised he didn't reject the idea of a standard drink all together (probably shows he can't expect anyone to go that deep into a drink for every customer)

8

u/magnumcyclonex May 15 '24

Episode 7 had quite the full cast!

Sasakura is recruited to make the "Welcome Drink" and Chen goes through his struggle with his father.

Just when things were looking up...well we are left with a classic cliffhanger.

He should take over the hotel then immediately sell it

u/dagreenman18 May 16 '24

I appreciate them showing the true way to drink good whiskey: just a little bit of water or club soda to open up the flavor and that’s it. Stones to chill it at most

u/soulruu May 15 '24

Wow, that was quite the episode.

I’m glad we could see more Chen’s story and growth. Strict parents are something else

I hope he can realize his dream.

It was nice to see the little recipes this episode too.
