Ippuku Chasen Matcha Whisk
Estimated Shipping Widget will be displayed here!
This excellent matcha whisk, known as chasen in Japanese, is an essential tool for whisking matcha in a Japanese tea ceremony. When paired with a matcha bowl, it allows you to enjoy an authentic matcha experience at home.
Traditionally crafted from bamboo, a chasen is meticulously designed to blend matcha powder smoothly with hot water in a matcha bowl. Bamboo offers the ideal balance of flexibility, allowing for swift whisking without damaging the inside surface of the matcha bowl.
The chasen is delicately crafted by splitting a single piece of bamboo into fine bristles, which are then artfully bound together with a thin black string to secure them in place. The tips are curled inward to safeguard their delicate ends. Every slender tip is carefully positioned, reflecting a display of exceptional craftsmanship.
Using this with a matcha whisk holder, a traditional tool for aligning the bristles of the chasen, is highly recommended to ensure its proper shape and longevity.
