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! 😏

Fine Mesh Strainer
All Barware, Strainers
After a lot of searching I finally found an inexpensive fine mesh strainer I like. The mesh is rolled into the rim and held firmly in place. The handle is one piece that runs through the strainer and isn't spot welded on. It won't pop off and because it's stainless steel it won't discolor.
Did I mention that this is a fine mesh strainer? It's not so tightly woven that it's hard to clean but unlike other so called fine mesh coco strainers it will actually catch all your mint and basically all of your ice shards.
Also, I think it looks fantastic! More importantly though, I suppose, is that it's light and the basket is just the right size. I like that it's handle is properly proportioned and isn't so gigantic that it gets in my way!
$6.95
- Very fine mesh; catches ice and mint bits
- Mesh is rolled into the rim
- Handle runs through the rim; not spot welded on
- Not too long; 6.5” total and 3” handle
- Very light
- Made of stainless steel
- Dishwasher safe
Yukiwa Silver Julep Strainer
All Barware, Strainers
The best thing about this Julep strainer from Yukiwa is that it's one piece. It's embarrassing when you're behind the bar and the inexpensive spot welded julep strainer you picked up falls apart, right? Don't let that happen to you! It fits very nicely on the mixing glasses we sell and like all things Yukiwa looks fantastic. It's made of Japanese 18/8 stainless steel and is manufactured in Niigata, Japan.
This version isn't plated like the gold version. It's 18/8 stainless steel so it’s fine in your standard high temperature dishwasher. Given the choice I still hand wash my tools but this one will stand the test of time.

- One piece design
- Beautiful shape
- Fits nicely on mixing glasses
