Yukiwa Silver Julep Strainer
Yukiwa Silver Julep Strainer
$16.95
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
- 18/8 stainless steel
- Made by Yukiwa in Japan

Yukiwa Silver Baron Hawthorne Strainer
All Barware, StrainersThese traditional Hawthorn strainers look gorgeous and are just as classy as everything else made by Yukiwa. The strainer is one piece Japanese 18/8 stainless steel except for the coil which comes off easily for cleaning. The two prongs fit nicely on both shaker tins and mixing glasses. The + shape hole pattern is simple and classy. Yukiwa is etched into the handle but I like that there isn’t a brand logo cut out of the metal. I’ve personally had the silver and gold Yukiwa Hawthorne strainers for over two years now and they both still look like new after nightly use. That being said, I don’t run them through the dishwasher because they’re easy enough to clean by hand.$19.95- Made from Japanese 18/8 stainless steel
- Solid, one piece design
- Coil removes easily for cleaning
- Durable finish stands up to nightly use
- Fits on shakers and mixing glasses
- Made by Yukiwa in Japan

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!

M-TAKA Silver 50cc Bitters Bottle
All Barware, Bitters Bottles
These glass bitters bottles look great behind the bar or on the shelf at home. They’re simple, elegant, and add a 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? 😉
Pretty is nice, but functional is better! This bottle is made by M-TAKA in Japan and is 50ml. It’s comfortable to hold between your fingers in a variety of positions and flip for a dash.
It’s also very important when making cocktails or creating new ones that the dash is consistent. Believe it or not it’s really something that can break the balance of your drink. I did a bit of quasi-scientific testing and determined that this dasher, when consistent force is applied, produces a 0.2ml dash give or take 0.02ml. It of course will change as the bottle gets very close to empty. Given that the bottle holds ~40ml or 225 dashes when filled to the top of the bulb I don’t think you’ll get too low during one shift. If you’re making 50 old fashioned’s in a row you may need a bigger bottle!
A few tips on a consistent dash:
$21.95
- 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.
- Stylish and functional
- Comfortable to hold and use
- 50ml / 45ml when filled to the top of the bulb
- Holds ~225 dashes when filled aesthetically
- Produces ~0.2ml dash*
