The Ippuku series is a luxurious matcha tea set that beautifully integrates traditional Yamanaka lacquerware craftsmanship with modern versatility. This set, accompanied by an elegant furoshiki featuring the traditional and auspicious same komon "fine sharkskin pattern" design in purple, includes a matcha bowl chawan, a natsume (matcha container), a chashaku (tea scoop), a coaster, a footed plate, a matcha whisk, and a matcha whisk holder.

The same komon pattern, often used in kimono fabrics, is known for its finely dotted appearance resembling sharkskin and is celebrated for bringing good fortune and elegance.

To make matcha, first spread out the furoshiki and place the utensils on it. Then, prepare matcha in the wooden matcha bowl using the whisk, placing it on the wooden coaster. The footed plate is ideal for serving sweets to accompany your tea. 

When carrying this set in the furoshiki, stack all items neatly, then place them on the furoshiki. Secure the snap and tie the left and right ends of the furoshiki together. The Ippuku set is light and conveniently portable. It allows for easy preparation of matcha anywhere, especially enjoyable outdoors on a fine day. It's also recommended for beginners in matcha preparation.

Ippuku means "a cup of tea" in Japanese. Holding the matcha bowl, you can feel the warmth of the wood, bringing a sense of calm. Take a break and enjoy matcha together with this set.
