Goto's Bartender's Guide w Kenta Goto & Noah Rothbaum | Bartender at Large ep 520

This week we're joined by Kenta Goto of New York's Bar Goto and James Beard Award-winning spirits writer Noah Rothbaum to talk about their new book, The Goto Bartender's Guide: A Philosophy of Cocktails, Hospitality, and How to Make Great Drinks Every Time. Kenta shares why he waited until Bar Goto turned 10 to finally put his methods on paper. The two also dig into one of the most overlooked ingredients in any cocktail, water, and how matching your stirs and shakes to a spirit's proof can transform a drink. Along the way, Kenta explains his philosophy of intentional bartending and omotenashi, the Japanese approach to hospitality that has made his bar a destination for drinkers around the world.
