Yukiwa 35cm Silver Teardrop Barspoon
All Barware, Barspoons
These Yukiwa bar spoons are my favorite for a lot of reasons. The tight twist of the shaft feels great and makes them easy to control while stirring. The edges aren’t sharp but still provide a good grip. I’ve also noticed a lot of poorly designed bar spoons that have little to no curve at the spoon and I hate that; it’s like working with a flat paddle! The Yukiwa is set at a nice 30° angle. This angle helps when stirring to reduce agitation and keep air bubbles from forming in the liquid.
The teardrop at the top is perfectly sized and weighted to maintain a good balance; it isn’t top or bottom heavy at all. This makes it easier to maintain control and avoid the annoying clinking and clanking of the glass we all try to avoid! Lastly the spoon itself has nicely rounded edges, which may not seem like a big deal until you’ve seen some of the poorly stamped bar spoons that look like unfinished sheet metal.
A good stir is an art form. It takes lots of practice! A good barspoon is a pleasure to use, makes learning easier, and improves an already great stir.
Did I mention that these look fantastic? 😄

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!

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

- Mesh is rolled into the rim
- Handle runs through the rim; not spot welded on

M-TAKA Silver Yarai 85cc Bitters Bottle
All Barware, Bitters Bottles
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.
$29.95
- Stylish and functional
- Yarai pattern cut into glass
- Comfortable to hold and use
- 85ml capacity
- Made by M-TAKA in Japan
- 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.
