Ep. 11: Bar Kaze: Ein herzerwärmendes Rezept zu Ehren von Goro Kase und die Lösung eines Familiengeheimnisses

The ailing Goro Kase is released from hospital for a short time, so Kitakata and Ryu set up "Bar Kaze" for one day and many bartenders who knew him arrive to pay their respects. Kase dons his uniform and mixes cocktails for the guests aided by Kitakata and Ryu and finally sets alight shots of vodka for his customers who had passed. Ryu recalls that it was from Kase that he learned that bartending was not just a job, but a lifestyle that one chooses. Later, Miwa asks Ryu for help to locate a bottle of expensive alcohol that her father bought to reconcile with his father 25 years earlier, but which the young Miwa accidentally broke before the meeting. Ryu concludes that it was a crystal kakubin (角瓶, square bottle) of Suntory whisky which they present to her grandfather, Taizo Kurushima. He is impressed by Miwa's thoughtfulness and extremely grateful for both Ryu's skill and ability to meet his customer's needs. (Source: Wikipedia)
