PIN FRITO and WINE BARON | Japan's first pinfleet specialty store Pinfried and wine baron Ikebukuro
http://bar-baron.jp/

Bar LIBRE is located in "Somai Building B1F 3 - chome Nishi - Ikebukuro 3 - chome Toshima - ku, Tokyo," located 5 minutes on foot from Ikebukuro station.


Arrived at Bar LIBRE.


A purple-like signboard is a landmark.


I go down to the basement and go to the shop.


There was a counter seat and a table seat in the store, and jazz was flowing.


Not only is it sticking to technology, but the amount of liquor is also incompatible with quantity.


First I ordered a cocktail of unusual taste, I use a fruit of pie and make a cocktail using a centrifuge and liquid nitrogen.


Transfer the pie fruit to a container ......


We also introduced alcohol.


Mix using a machine.


Then put the liquid which has been mixed in the container ... ...


Play the lid ... ....


I will spend about 7 minutes on the centrifuge.


You can check how the centrifuge is moving from the following movie.

How the Bar LIBRE's centrifuge circulates - YouTube


When liquid is applied to the centrifuge for 7 minutes, it separates into pigment, liquid and fiber from above.


Looking from above it looks like this.


Filter these liquids further.


A pure liquid made from pie fruit · milk · alcohol was completed.


Further prepared liquid nitrogen.


Mix liquid nitrogen with liquid made from pie fruit etc. and stir it several times.



The finished form looks something like this. Although slightly liquid nitrogen was somewhat this time, because moisture does not enter cocktail, you can drink alcohol without diluting with water.


In the same way mix strawberries and put it on a centrifuge.


Pigments are left in the upper part.


This time I made a cocktail without using liquid nitrogen to make use of the sweetness of strawberry.


Completed system is like this. Although there was no feeling of crushing strawberries, only extract of strawberry was taken out, and it had a unique taste and scent.


Next, I will make an original smoked cocktail "Smoky Lam Martini" of this shop.


Coffee beans are contained in the martini, and the extract seeps out.


First place the coffee beans on the pot ......


I also sprinkle alcohol from above.


Furthermore, it cooks coffee beans directly by the fire, plus the fragrance.


Next, I set a cherry tree tree on a smoke machine.


If you put the tip in a flame, ... ...


Smoke came out quickly. Combine liquid and smoke in the pot ...


Completed when smell of smoke arrives cocktail.


You can check how to make smoking cocktails from the following movies.

As putting fire or smoking just before offering, the goodness of scent is wrong. Not only the taste of coffee, but also the balance with alcohol was good.


Then I had the classic Irish coffee made at the bar etc.


Irish coffee making can be confirmed from the following movie.

Completing with cream on top.


Although it is different from smoked martini, the taste of whiskey matched well with sugar and coffee.


Next is hot wine to put in siphon.


Firstly put wine in a beaker ......


Let's light the lower alcohol lamp.


Set fruit, sugar, spice on the upper part of the fun.


Over time, wine came up to Roth.


You can check how to make hot wine with siphon from the following movie.

Complete it after dropping the fire. I feel that I am overly overwhelmed, but since I combined wine and fruit just before, the fragrance appeared well.


Of the second store in the neighborhoodBaronI also went to.


The shop is a specialty shop of Spanish skewered "pinfleet", which is the first shop in Japan with an epoch-making technique in which fine clothes do not absorb oil too much and do not miss the taste of the material.


Frying oil seems to float on the surface of the material, but this is oil in the meat. When I actually eat it, there was not much greasiness like fried food, and the taste of the material was stuck firmly in the skewer.


In this shop, you can see Shelley's special way called "Venensia" by ordering Shelley. This time Mr. Kawakubo of the bartender made a gin tonic exhibited at the world competition using Venencia.


This machineCORAVIN SYSTEMMachine like a magic that can extract wine never opener. There seems to be almost no store in Japan that introduces this machine at this time.


Bar LIBRE is open 24 hours a day, from 18 o'clock to 2 o'clock. It is a bar that sticks to not only production but also taste, so it seems to be good for dates as well.
