Since moving to London in 2021, Hikoto Torigata has been one of the leading Japanese bartenders in the U.K. When we interviewed him three years ago, he was the head mixologist at a well-known bar in an upscale neighborhood, but this spring he opened his own bar.What kind of bar is this?　I visited "Waltz" immediately.
