Matcha Whisk (Chasen) - 100-tip
The chasen matcha whisk is an essential tool for making the perfect bowl of matcha.
This whisk is meticulously made by hand out of bamboo, one-by-one. Its fine, springy tips allow for quick matcha whisking. Matcha whisked with a chasen has a smooth texture and a fine aroma.
A 100 tip chasen is made from a slightly larger stalk of bamboo, so it has a thicker handle. Those with medium or large size hands may find it easier to hold.
Clean the chasen after each use by rinsing in water. Store in the open air to allow it to dry completely. We recommend storing it tips-down on a Whisk Stand (Chasen Tate) to keep its shape.
This chasen is hand-made by artisans in Nara, Japan. Each whisk is quality-checked by Ippodo before being accepted. These chasen are used in the Ippodo tearooms and shops in Kyoto and Tokyo.
