After a whole day cooped up in the hotel, we decided to go to a different area of the hotel for dinner. There was no way we were going out in this bad weather, so we thought we could go up to the 19th floor for a few drinks at the bar. We found a new gin, Kingsbury Victorian VAT gin and decided to get a Gin and Tonic with that gin and another with the Bombay Mercian Lemon. We used the translator app to explain our traveling and our attempt to try new gins from all around the world. We used the translator back and forth to tell them how much we love Japan and to get some responses from them. I went back to the room to grab Gin Book #2 and show them the Japanese Gins we have already had. The manager of the bar, Kokhi, took over at that point. He sent some folks out to bring back the Japanese gins, and lo and behold there were new Japanese Gins for us to try. So we got another two GnT's , one with Hinata Gin and one with Kozue Gin. We were feeling fine by now and decided some food was in order. Leslie ordered a Club sandwich and the best club sandwich EVER showed up. I got a fish and chips with a French onion soup. Both of these items were also top notch. While we were
enjoying our meal, Kohki snuck out and came back with two more gin bottles. He said that he was so sorry it took him a long time and to make up for it he was going to give us two more drinks for free. Two drinks is our un-official limit but when the bartender is giving them to us, it would be rude to refuse them. So a Kinobi Black Sugar gin and a Wa Bi Gin. The "Wa Bi" Gin was the end of the bottle and I asked if I could peel the label off. The manager said that his worker was an expert at label peeling and sent the bottle off to be peeled. As our bill came the label was there ready for me to put it into the gin book! We had a supremely great time.

Here are the next two drinks #5 and #6. Mind you that is only three drinks each.
Leslie needed help with her last drink so I helped her out. The coaster in my pocket, my name tag, says "drunkard" in Japanese " 酔っ払い "
What is this baby bottle?
