Yokoyama Kogyo use their favorite Nakanishi grinder.
The BIRDY Cocktail Shaker has the unique characteristic of having the inner surface of the container precisely polished to the nearest 0.1 micron. Yokoyama Kogyo uses Nakanishi's precision grinder for the polishing work. This is possible as the grinder is a comfortable weight and stable when holding it. It has a width that fits the hand, with freely adjustable power and a rotation speeds settings. There is never any unevenness in their work as there is no unstable movements with the grinder and it always performs as expected.
