“Life and experience taught me to look at things from all angles, and the way anything can be distilled into a glass full of dreams, flavors, culture, art, and stories,” says Joel Chirinos. With twenty years in the business, this bartender has spent time at distinguished restaurants and bars such as the High Five, Japan’s top bar. For Chirinos, being a bartender is a form of expressing himself, where the sensory possibilities for experiencing flavors are limitless. Nowadays, he is the owner and bartender at Limaq.
