A Whisky from the Past, and an Unexpected Encounter

Nishida brought out a vintage whisky—one that had been made during the time when Koshimizu was still working at the bottling plant. Three years after Koshimizu became a blender, Nishida opened his bar, hoping that Koshimizu would one day visit. Overjoyed to finally meet him, Nishida could hardly contain his excitement. However, it turns out that Koshimizu had already visited the bar before—without ever revealing his name. For Koshimizu, it is important that the creators of whisky, like blenders, visit the places where their whisky is ultimately enjoyed.
