The Japanese are meticulous about everything, so I assume that the bartender
would definately have washed his hands.
In one of the other videos on Dailymotion, there is a bartender who has to
stop to pull his trousers up just a little bit, then goes on to make a drink.
Though he doesn't handle the ice, always tongs.
Did you notice how all the japanese bartenders push the glasses towards the
customer from the base of the glass? They don't touch the drinking part of the
glass.
I had tasted the Wild Turkey Rye, though I found that the regular 101 has move
of a bite (which I like).
Back in 2000 I met Jimmy Russell (master distiller at Wild Turkey), and even
got his autograph (I am such a groupie!-).
Cheers!
