EPISODE CONTEXT
Coming off Episode 4's deep dive into a bar's signature martini and its hidden craft, Episode 5 pivots from technique to personal history, using the Yamazaki Distillery trip to spotlight Kelvin Chen's backstory and emotional stakes. Sitting at the season's midpoint, this episode marks a shift toward more intimate character exploration that sets the foundation for Kelvin's evolving role in the back half. It bridges the show's early establishment of Ryuu Sasakura's world with the deeper interpersonal arcs still to come.
