Stanislav Vadrna, an expert In Japanese bartending, Server as Nikka’s Word-wide ambassador. His knowledge of Japanese culture, his mastery of whisky, and his passion for mixology – all of which have been influenced by testing techniques he learned in Japan – make Stanislav the ideal figurehead for the Nikka company.
As the driving force behind the Ichi-go, Ichi-e slogan, Stanislav reaches out to bartenders open to the Nikka Perfect Serve philosophy who are best positioned to answer these questions:
• How can professionalism be combined with warm welcome and friendly service?
• What is perfect service?
• How can one create a unique experience that enhances both the product and the guest?
In 2010 Nikka, LMDW, and Stanislav Vadrna created a European contest to promote the Nikka Perfect Serve. It provides opportunity for bartenders wanting to learn and improve their skills to train and compete in a dozen European cities, thus benefitting from Stanislav’s unique instructional approach.
THE ESSENCE of the Perfect Serve.
Nikka Perfect Serve is a new style of bartending that aims to find new techniques that are both simple and original for improving service and creating an unforgettable ritual focused on the guest. It brings a Japanese dimension to the art of service and requires elegance, precision, and an eye for detail, all of which create a unique performance for the guest.
The Nikka Perfect Serve is associated with an ancient Japanese precept: Ichi-go, Ichi-E (one meeting, one moment), the very foundation of Zen Buddhist philosophy. This concept is integral to the Japanese tea ceremony. The same philosophy applies to bartenders, reminding them that each and every guest deserves their utmost attention. Every guest should be considered as a unique individual who deserves the very best.
