M-TAKA Silver Yarai 85cc Bitters Bottle
M-TAKA Silver Yarai 85cc Bitters Bottle
$29.95
These seamless glass bitters bottles look great behind the bar or on the shelf at home. They’re cut with a beautiful Yarai pattern, look stunning, and add a heavy dash of sophistication to your kit. If you’re a huge Harry Potter fan like I am they’ll make you feel like you’re mixing up a real magic potion. Who knows, maybe you are? 😉
Beyond being my favorite looking bitters bottle it’s also quite functional. Being 85ml it’s perfect for often used bitters like Angostura or Peychaud’s. Because of the long tapered stem it’s comfortable to hold between your fingers in a variety of positions and flip for a dash.
The dasher top uses a cork seal and unlike some others that I’ve used the cork doesn’t come off after being refilled a certain number of times.
- Stylish and functional
- Yarai pattern cut into glass
- Comfortable to hold and use
- 85ml capacity
- Made by M-TAKA in Japan
A few tips on a consistent dash:
- Apply consistent force when dashing. Don’t be too gentle or forceful.
- Don’t let the bottle get almost empty.
- A common mistake is to flip the bottle over quickly as part of your first dash. Don’t do this! It traps an air bubble and makes your first dash really small. Instead, tilt it over a bit slower making sure there is no trapped air. Don’t worry, the bottle won’t leak but it will ensure your first dash is the same as your subsequent ones.

Yukiwa Dance Jigger
All Barware, Jiggers
These look just as good in person as they do in the pictures! These Yukiwa Dance jiggers stand out as a true work of art and craftsmanship. They’re well balanced and flip easily, polish to a mirror finish, and feel as luxurious in hand as they look. They measure 1oz and 1.5oz but lack any interior markings which I think is due to their unique shape. Lets be honest though; you aren’t buying this jigger because you need your hand held on a 3/4oz pour! They’re impressive and beautiful. I get more comments about this jigger than just about any other piece of equipment or asset I have! 😏

M-TAKA Stripes Mixing Glass
All Barware, Mixing Glasses
This 550ml mixing glass from M-TAKA is hands down the best bang for your buck! It’s hand blown, completely seamless, and it’s side walls aren’t needlessly thick. Nothing screams cheap like a mixing glass with ugly seams or walls literally as thick as The Wall in Game of Thrones!
This version has a beautiful and unique striped pattern deeply etched into the glass. It’s rare and looks gorgeous when filled. Sometimes it’s nice to just be different; especially when it looks this good! But what I think what I like best about this mixing glass is that the bottom isn’t completely flat. The interior edge meets the base with a bevel and this curved transition makes stirring with a well angled barspoon fluid and effortless. The base is also nice and thick making it stable and hard to knock over. Take a look at this diagram to see what I mean.
Like all blown glassware there might be a small bubble or imperfection. It’s perfectly normal!

- 550ml capacity
- Hand blown
- Rare vertical striped pattern

Miracle Mile Bitters Co. Chocolate Chili Bitters
Bitters
This was the first flavor that Miracle Mile Bitters Co. launched and it’s still one of their best! It’s crafted with Valrhona cacao nibs, three types of chilis, cinnamon, clove, ginger, and star anise. The gentle heat and sweet chocolate flavor make this hand crafted small-batch bitters perfect for tequila or rum cocktails. You can even add it to ice cream and coffee to mix things up!
Tatiana’s Take
Sweet chocolate mixed with just the right kind of light chili heat makes this bitters downright delicious. It has a dry cocoa and spicy cinnamon finish that warms you up. I often use it as a twist on a tequila old fashioned or in a dark rum Manhattan. If you mix it with chocolate syrup it’s pretty amazing on ice cream!

Mr. Slim Jigger
All Barware, Jiggers
The Mr. Slim Jigger by Sano Works in Japan is a poplular design and with good reason. The durable mirror finished exterior and gold band make this both classy and functional. On the interior of this 1oz / 2oz jigger there is a marking for 1.5 oz. It’s light, flips easily, and is comfortable to hold.
With its strong lines and sharp angles it reminds me of a smartly dressed gentleman but even though it’s a bit masculine I use it often!
