This is the most essential tool for making real matcha.
The traditional bamboo whisk (Chasen) is the tool that can create the rich, creamy froth that makes matcha famous. A spoon just stirs, but this whisk is handcrafted from a single piece of bamboo, with fine prongs designed to perfectly suspend the powder in water.
Creates Perfect Froth: The key to a smooth, clump-free, and creamy bowl of matcha.
Authentic Craftsmanship: Hand-carved from natural bamboo.
Better Flavor: Unlocks the matcha’s full, rich umami flavor and removes bitterness.
Perfect for Daily Use: This 100-prong whisk is the ideal balance for beginners and experts, making a great foam every time.
How to Use & Care
First Use: Soak the whisk prongs in warm water for 5 minutes. This makes the bamboo flexible and prevents breakage.
Whisking: Add matcha and hot (not boiling, approx. 175°F / 80°C) water to your bowl. Whisk vigorously in a “W” or “M” motion for 20-30 seconds until a fine foam appears.
After Use: Rinse the whisk immediately under warm water. Do not use soap.
Drying: Shake off excess water and let it air dry.
Important: We highly recommend using a Whisk Holder (sold separately) to dry your whisk. This helps it keep its shape and prevents mold.
