Motomitsu Kurushima

Motomitsu Kurushima is the grandfather of Miwa Kurushima.

Description
Motomitsu is quite short. He wears a small kimono, with a coat worn ontop of it. Whenever Motomitsu walks, he has to hold a cane for support. He has short hear, and combs it back. He has his eyes squinted most of the time, reflecting his wrinkles. When he was younger, he would visit a bar with his girlfriend (later wife, and grandmother of Miwa), to have a drink made by "the master". He claims that the master made the best drinks he ever tasted, until he died. It wasn't until he met Ryū Sasakura, a bartender that is best known for his "glass of god", that he had a drink that was just as good. The people at the "Lapin Bar" are afraid of him, due to the fact that he thinks that all drinks from there are terrible; this feedback being bad for the bar, as he is a critic like his granddaughter.

At some point, Motomitsu met Miwa's Grandmother. Sometime later, presumably after marriage, he took her to a bar after World War II, where he shared a drink with her made by The Master. After his wife's death, and the death of The Master, he never looked up to a drink that wasn't made with such quality. Until present day, being an old man, Ryū Sasakura is the only bartender that has made a drink with the same quality as The Master.

Miwa Kurushima
Miwa is the granddaughter of Motomitsu. Like him, she is a bar taster. In chapter two, Motomitsu claimed that Miwa reminded him of her grandmother, in otherwords, his former wife.

Ryu Sasakura
Ryuu served Motomitsu the best drink he has had since "The Master" had died. Ever since then, Ryu has earned the right of being called "pal" by Motomitsu.
