By night, though, he runs the Bouzu Bar (bouzu being the Japanese word for “monk”).
Before opening his own bar, he spent a year studying bartending and learning all he could about various types of alcoholic beverages.
Haneda has so much confidence in Japanese spirits that the Bouzu Bar’s wine selection is entirely domestic.
Haneda’s aura is so pacifying that since the opening of the Bouzu Bar, he’s only had two customers get sloppy drunk, an astonishingly low number for alcohol-loving Japan.
