The joy of making things is that there is a moment when you think, “I’ve got it!”

Takano: They also make good gifts. You continue to create new cocktails, gins, syrups, and other new products.

Fukami: There are only hardships. First of all, as a bartender, serving cocktails to the customers in front of me is complete. But with gin and syrups, it’s not just the customer in front of you, but they are on the shelves as products, so there is the pleasure of introducing them to the world as products. It’s a lot of work, but it’s also a lot of fun.

Celeina:When is a fun moment for you?

Fukami:When I am making a product, there is a moment when I think, “This is it!” That’s a fun moment.

Celeina: Isn’t that the moment when the song is first written?

Takano: I was going to say the same thing (haha).

Celeina:We were also able to ask you about the joy of making things. “FIST BUMP” is a circle of friends connected by goo touch around, so you introduce your friends to us.

Fukami: It’s Chanpon Chikara, a sake video creator.

Celeina: What is your relationship with him?

Fukami: He is originally from Nagasaki and I am from Kumamoto, so we became friends through our Kyushu connection. He was working in the video industry, and when he started sending out information on alcohol through the Corona Disaster.

Celeina: In a word, what kind of person is he?

Fukami: He is the man who drinks the most delicious sake in Japan.

Celeina: Tomorrow, we will connect you to the creator of sake, Chanpon Chikara. FIST BUMP: Today we welcome bartender Toshihiro Fukami. Thank you very much.
