Based on the universe of the manga "Bartender," by Araki Joh and Kenji Nagatomo, the game puts the player behind the bar mixing cocktails by following recipes with the stylus, while each customer shares a piece of their life, in the contemplative, dialogue-driven vein that characterizes the original manga.
It's a rarity within DS's Japanese catalog: a game that favors atmosphere and conversation over mechanical challenge. It never left Japan, so its circulation outside the country was always marginal, but it retains genuine appeal for anyone looking for something different.
