Bamboo whisk (Chasen)

Masterfully made from a single piece of natural bamboo, The Bamboo Whisk (Chasen) is an essential tool of the Japanese tea ritual. With its 100 fine prongs, this chasen aerates and froths matcha into a smooth, creamy consistency, bringing out its vibrant color, rich umami, and delicate aroma.

Before use, soak the whisk in hot water for 5–10 minutes to allow the prongs to gently “bloom,” enhancing flexibility and extending its life. For storage, place the whisk upright or on a chasen holder (kusenaoshi) to help maintain its elegant shape and prolong durability.

Light yet resilient, this chasen connects you to centuries of Japanese craftsmanship, transforming every preparation into a mindful ritual and making it an essential companion for authentic matcha.
