Japanese Drinks Diary, 👋Gin and the Gimlet Negroni at Kinoole Bar in Sapporo

Sapporo, which is bare without snow during the day, is actually a bit boring. After a day of leisurely strolling, there was nothing special about it except for the milky ice cream and the Christmas market full of white food. The bar was found by my companions. Before going, I only knew that it was a bar that mainly serves Gin, so I didn't have much expectation. The store is very small, with about seven or eight seats. The lights are dim, there is no menu, and only one of the two bartenders can speak English.

Ordered a cup of apple-flavored Gimlet and a standard Negroni. The Gimlet is normal, but the Negroni is so smooth that it shocked me. It is so smooth that it doesn't feel like drinking a cocktail, but like eating a piece of high-concentration chocolate. When serving the cocktail, the base gin will be brought up together. The English-speaking guy is quite cute. He chatted with us for a while and asked us if we had eaten ramen and soup curry (it turns out that soup curry is a Japanese specialty?) and asked us how we found this store. Now I have no words to say that I can only say Internet.

I ordered a rose-flavored Dry Martini and a lime-flavored freestyle. I still don't really understand Martini, but it's very smooth. The lime-flavored one uses three kinds of Gin, which is very refreshing. I was hungry after drinking it. I went out to find a soup curry. I expressed my gratitude to the two bartenders and emphasized that their level is better than many overrated bars in London. The guy smiled and said, "Really?" When I left, I was handed a hot pack. The Japanese service industry is really perfect. The snow was heavy at this time. You would sink if you stepped on the snow. The signs of the gigolo clubs lit up. The city seemed to come alive after being tipsy.
