Ep. 9: Ryu trifft in einer Bar auf seinen ehemaligen Mentor Kitakata und konfrontiert dabei seine vergangenen Traumata.

Miwa asks Ryu to accompany her to a "hidden" bar, but they stumble into dingy bar called "North Wind" instead at street level run by Ryu's former senpai Kitakata, whom he has not seen for eight years. When a hostess come in with a male client, Kitakata makes Bloody Caesars with a high alcohol vodka and tomato juice containing clam broth which makes a powerful tasting-drink that disguises the taste of alcohol. The man becomes quickly inebriated and they leave causing Ryu to berate Kitakata for making such a strong drink. However, Kitakata explains that she is a regular who was sold into service at a young age and now survives by scamming her clients. Later, Kitakata and the woman visit Edenhall and because she usually drinks shochu, Ryu makes two Caipirinha's, but slightly differently to suit their tastes and Kitakata is impressed. He takes Ryu to see their mentor, Goro Kase, who is now in hospital and when Kase sees Ryu, he asks if he is still searching for "The Glass of God". Miwa visits Kitakata’s bar and says she cannot understand why Ryu will not work for the Cardinal Hotel. Kitakata confides that after Ryu won a cocktail competition in Europe and one of his clients died, Ryu blamed himself and returned to Japan seeking obscurity. (Source: Wikipedia)
