Know before you buy
This strainer is manufactured in Japan to professional-grade standards, offering a higher level of durability and precision than mass-market alternatives. Its construction is designed to withstand the rigors of a busy bar environment while maintaining a refined aesthetic.
With a width of 3.25 inches, this strainer is sized to fit most standard cocktail shakers and mixing glasses. Its flexible spring design allows it to sit snugly against the rim, ensuring a tight seal for efficient straining.
While the high-quality stainless steel is resistant to rust and corrosion, we recommend hand washing this tool to preserve its finish and the integrity of the spring mechanism over time.
The spring is engineered for consistent tension, making it effective at catching standard ice cubes as well as smaller shards. It provides a smooth pour while effectively filtering out unwanted ice chips and fruit pulp.
The 6-inch length is balanced to provide a secure, ergonomic grip. It is designed to be held comfortably for extended periods, making it suitable for both home enthusiasts and professional bartenders.
