Listen "Baby’s First Latte Art"

Episode Synopsis



Tonight, while at a party celebrating the 15th anniversary of a coffee company here in Tokyo, I was lightly pressured into entering a drunk latte art contest. Keep in mind:

I had three alcoholic drinks.
I’ve never poured a latte before.
Instructions were given only in Japanese, which I only understand a little bit.

The other contestants were:

9 baristas (who pour lattes every day)
a 10-year-old boy (who obviously didn’t drink alcohol)

The 10-year-old defeated me. I need to practice.
