That was some fine iyashikei.
Ponko continues to be a great character and Yachiyo is definitely growing as an individual (and not just with the va-va-va-voom upgrade). And it was nice to see the rest of the Tanuki family applying themselves.
And we got more aliens, and now Yachiyo can talk to them.
Just nice and heartwarming all around.
Am I just getting used to it or is the OP getting less out of key?
Also, do the tanuki kids not age?
Ponko’s age came up in the episode where she first starts working and Yachiyo won’t agree to employ her unless she’s old enough. I think she says she’s 58 or something around there, which suggests that the tanuki people age ~8 times slower than humans. Assume 24 years for the whiskey development (9 years of experimentation and yearly tasting to get a decent formula + 15 years of aging to get the bottle Yachiyo serves at the bar when consoling the alien over her(?) breakup) and you get ~3 years of aging for the tanuki, which might not be reflected in their character designs.
Of course, this assumes that the human forms of the tanuki reflect changes in their biological development instead of being “fixed” forms that they’ve memorized somehow.

I’m not ready when Yachiyo will learn about humanity’s fate. They keep brewing just like this episode.
