Mixing Glasses

Where stirred cocktails achieve perfection. Japanese Yarai diamond-cut, seamless crystal, and classic heavy-bottom designs for Martinis and Manhattans.

Classic Heavy-Bottom Mixing Glass

Classic Heavy-Bottom Mixing Glass

Traditional thick-bottom glass with substantial base. The workhorse of professional bars worldwide, proven over decades.

The classic heavy-bottom mixing glass is standard in bars from pubs to hotels. The thick base provides exceptional stability and durability—many from the 1930s-1950s are still in service. The gentle taper concentrates ice for efficient stirring, while thick walls maintain temperature. Legendary bars like New York's 21 Club have used these for generations. For budget-conscious bartenders preferring classic American style over Japanese precision, it delivers professional results.

Seamless Yarai Mixing Glass

Seamless Yarai Mixing Glass

Heavy-bottom crystal with perfect clarity and no seams. Minimalist elegance combined with professional functionality.

The seamless Yarai offers Japanese excellence without decorative cuts. The perfectly clear crystal lets you watch your cocktail's color deepen as it chills. The seamless construction means zero weak points, while the heavy base provides rock-solid stability. Popular in modern minimalist bar programs, it's ideal for spirit-forward cocktails where precise dilution is critical. Bartenders at New York's Attaboy appreciate the versatility and timeless design.

Yarai Diamond-Cut Mixing Glass

Yarai Diamond-Cut Mixing Glass

Seamless Japanese crystal with geometric diamond pattern. The ultimate vessel for stirring luxury cocktails with functional and aesthetic perfection.

The Yarai diamond-cut mixing glass represents Japanese crystal craftsmanship at its finest. The intricate hand-cut diamond facets serve both practical and aesthetic purposes: they create visual beauty, provide excellent grip, and catch light spectacularly. In Tokyo's prestigious bars, Yarai glasses are standard equipment, treated with reverence. The seamless construction ensures perfect clarity, while the heavy base creates natural stability. Master bartender Hidetsugu Ueno uses these exclusively at Bar High Five, explaining that the weight encourages proper stirring technique.
