| Some more background storytelling, this time on Miwa. Gotta say, the way this anime focuses on certain cast members does make me care about them. It's realistic enough that it can be very relatable. Miwa herself needed more help to remember the bottle she once broke. This episode made very good usage of its music imo. |
 |
| To celebrate Kase getting permission to go out, Ryuu and Kitakata decide to bring back Bar Kaze where the three of them used to work, rebranding it as North Wind for one day only. When Miwa was little, she accidentally broke a bottle of liquor that her father had prepared to reconcile with her grandfather, with whom he had been feuding. Unable to remember what kind of liquor it was, she asks Ryuu for help. |
 |
| What a beautiful episode especially the first part with Kaze being allowed out of hospital one last time, it was so heartwarming to see him be able to stand behind the bar one last to do the job he loves the most. |
| Too little too late. The show wasted so much time on rando characters that it forgot to actually develop the main character and now we're forced to a cheap anime sad story in it's last episodes and we are supposed to feel empathy towards a wiki liquor bot. Though, credit is where it's due. I did like the whole build up and deduction process on Miwa's broken bottle with multiple options and proper discarding based on their evidence. Back in episode 2 or 3 there was a pesky guy in the forum that kept saying that due to "anime magic" Sasakura was able to deduct the right drink for Miwa's grandfather despite there being zero real evidence about it (nothing more than a wild and lucky guess). Wished that episode had this level of build up and writing. Back to roasting: We will always have this terrible single frame that somehow the artist managed to fuck up royally despite it having zero animation.  |

| So this was Kase's last hurrah as a bartender and his regulars wanted to celebrate with him. I had a feeling it was a whiskey bottle that Miwa was searching and Suntory is a popular brand of whiskey in Japan. With only one episode left, will Ryu finally accept the job offer to work at bar in the new hotel? |
 |
| If someone was able to catch that insert song, I'd love to know what it was Very unfortunate storyboard choices here as it soften the blow and emotion of the scene. Had it been done in a different order, the whole sequence would've been way more impactful and tears would've been shed. Still a very touching episode |
My candies :  |
| It was interesting to see more of Sasakura. He seemed a bit rebellious, for lack of a better word, as if he was nervous or something. But now he has completely calmed down. That insult he threw at Kitakata was funny. It's good that Kase was able to work at the bar one last time. It's sweet that he still had many customers lining up for a drink from him. I was worried he might be overworked, but I'm sure Kitakata and Sasakura made sure to follow up and keep an eye on his condition. It seems like we're finally going to get Sasakura's answer. I'm curious to see what he says and what led to his decision. Narratively speaking, I can see him accepting as a conclusion for the season, but Miwa's grandfather annoyed me. Seeing that line "I get what I want" again reminded me of that feeling and how he was using Sasakura's photo on flyers. For a moment during the interview, I was worried he might mention something about the bar where he wants Sasakura, haha. However, I like the relationship between Miwa and Sasakura. It feels like they've really become friends, and it's nice to see that no romantic aspect affects it in any way, even though it could have easily gone in that direction. |

| I can't believe they finally adapted the first episode of the original series. |

@Sephirod I loved that insert song as well. The only name I saw during the credits (apart from the credits song) was "Swallow" by Gacharic Spin.
| @Shining_Falcon Also used in the episode with Chen and the mystery girl from Kyoto (episode 5, I think?) |
| I picked this back up after dropping it out of frustration, and I have to say I enjoyed the last few episodes more. When Kase-san opened Bar Kaze one last time and lit up those "flames for the dead," I actually teared up a bit. Then they moved on to the quest for the crystal bottle from 25 (?) years ago, which got resolved very quickly and in a way that doesn't quite make sense (why is Sasakura there to present the bottle anyway?! He's not even family). Also, the Suntory product placement continues to be a little overbearing... |
| Miwa joins both Ryu and Kitakara in overseeing Kase's discharge from the hospital, these 3 people have been together for the better of 8 years, though the Glass of God is still the pinnacle of all cocktails. Since Bar Kaze is no longer around, the sign is what's left, something which Kitakara has safely kept arrears, and all the regular guests excited for its return thanks to Miwa's promotion on social media portraying North Wind as the old bar, even for one night only. Making cocktails for the regular guests, and then lighting them up as flames of death to mourn the passing of souls, as well as reminisce the relationship between young Ryu as a college student under Kase's tutelage as a mentor, even Ryu did change thanks to him, which speaks volumes about his way of life being a bartender. Taizo ready to launch Hotel Cardinal's high-rise bar, it's only moments away from true realization. But a fight between Taizo and her father on how hotels should be run, both father and son really bickered their way of running hotels in different styles, that Miwa inadvertently caused her father's death in some way. For the 25 years of atonement, finding a crystal bottle liquor whisky like Remy Martins or Hennessys that matches her father's bottle, the structure of the bottle matters much, as well as its taste which evolves depending on when it's produced. The older the whisky, the more refined it is, and Miwa manages to reconcile Taizo with her father for that cause. It's a good full circle for Miwa and her parents, and that's what matters the most...plus Taizo insisting that Ryu make the Glass of God. |

| @perseii @Shining_Falcon Thanks to both of you! |
| My candies : |
| These emotions they are trying to upgrade my 8/10 but I'm not going to do it Final episode coming up, regardless of what happens, grandpa will get Ryu one way or another. If not as a bartender, then as a grandson at least. 5/5 for this episode, got me super emotional on two completely different things. |
  |
| That this is where I belong hit in the feels. One last job for Kase as he served drinks to his customers one last time. Got emotional watching. Also Ryu lighting fire alone later, does this mean Kase's dead? Damn. More on Miwa, so she's in her late twenties. Ryu was able to find the drink and help her atone after 25 years. Also how is the two of them still not a thing, like come on. One last episode to go. He's gonna accept the job in the finale I think. |
 |
| Episode divide in two shorts.... ...the first the old barman returns to the bar for one day.. ...the second is the prelude to the question of he wiil work in the hotel or not!!!! kekeke |
| Man, the first half was so good. Especially the part with Kase lighting up some drinks to honor his customers who passed away. As for the second half with Miwa and her grandfather, I think the og version executed that storyline better but it was still a solid segment nonetheless. Another fantastic episode. Looking forward to the finale. |
| I'm glad he was able to serve one last time, to those who still waits around and to those who passed away. Again though, I know this show is about bartending and alcohol and such, but grandfather shouldn't drink a full bottle of whisky as is lol. |
 |
| Best episode so far, and it comes in two parts. 1. the final, one-day opening of Bar Kaze, where Ryu assists his mentor for his final bartending duties before he leaves this world. 2. Miwa asking Ryu to find the wine that she broke when she was young. This is actually shown in episode 2 of the original anime where the emotions were really drawn out. Here, it is put where it makes the most narrative sense. And finally, when Ryu says to Miwa that he will treat her, how can these two not be dating? They're dating even if both of them do not admit it. |
| Lovely way to pay respects to your mentor. Not only was he able to open up Kaze bar for one more night but to "talk" with his deceased comrades through the magic of lit up glasses. On the other hand Miwa has gotten so close to Ryu that she was able to ask him for the drink that might have prevented her father's death. Huge hypothetical mind you but emotional nonetheless. Now onto the finale comes Ryu's final decision as to whether accept the job at the hotel bar or not. Let's see what happens. |

| It was nice to see Sasakura when he first met his master and got enrolled at the bar... cool that the master could come and make cocktails for the last time here. Also Miwa's father and grandfather alcohol bottle to make up story is emotional, I remember it in the OG anime |
