Thank you for the chapter, I have been waiting for this to get a translation.

Nitpick but if it is from Scotland (or Japan) it is whisky. Whiskey if from Ireland or America.

lol that hair looks a bit 'anime' for such a grounded series but nice that this series is still ongoing


hm , interesting ppl are offended by adding water to alcohol yet a lot of cocktails are served with ice/ on the rocks but i guess depending ppl aren't sitting around the bar long enough for it to melt/be watered down (tho wouldn't be surprised if bars had 'upscale water'/from specific spring water bottles or so as opposed to tap or whatever)

@cityshrimp Will you do Bartender 6stp too?

 

[Doorn]

Was pleasantly surprised seeing this under my updates section, thank you for this!

So I went back and forth with this one. I decided to use "Whiskey" whenever it's talking about whiskey in general and use "Whisky" for Japan or Scotland. I'm probably gonna mess up a whole lot on this though, so bear with me please, lol

 

[Big_Boss]

Oh snap, you picked this one too!

Thank you for translating Araki's works yet again, it always lifts my spirits reading them. Takes me right back when i first started reading Bartender, many many years ago.

Always appreciated two things about this mangaka

1. He has one thing he does and by god hes doing it. Bartenders, sommeliers, hotel staff. I always felt like maybe dude did it to get his tab covered for research but maybe hes just a bartender otaku.
2. Homey is named Araki. Bet he's gotta be a smidge miffed about the other one.

Completely agree on point 1, it can feel a tad formulaic at times, but it also feels comfortably so.
Point 2 though is interesting: i thought it was an homage, seeing how Joh here spell it in Katakana, but seeing your comment made me realize it might be to differentiate themselves.

There isn't a "right" amount of water: if you happen to visit a distillery in Scotland, and book a testing tour, they will give you the whisky pure and invite you to add water, a few drop at the time, and see how the taste changes with the increasing amount of water. This is because some aromatic molecules are more soluble in water, while others are more soluble in alcohol, and the different concentrations change which ones are perceived more strongly and which ones linger in your mouth.
