(via) Munchies recently paid a visit to tiny Bar High Five in Tokyo’s Ginza district, where master cocktail craftsman Hidetsugu Ueno holds court with precision. He individually carves diamond-faceted ice cubes a la minute with a knife made of folded steel (samurai sword style). He has sharpened this tool every day for the past decade, diminishing its original length by an astounding two-thirds. Bonus: haircut. Superbonus: he doesn’t drink.
I want one of those knives!! But I can’t imagine sharpening it every day!! Wow!!
His bar looks amazing, thanks for sharing!! …..goes to kitchen and attempts to make drink….
haha!
