The Essential Matcha Kit

On your next day off, take a moment to prepare a bowl of matcha. Measure a portion of powder, and marvel at its brilliant green color. As you start to whisk, feel the texture of the whisk’s bamboo handle, and listen to the sounds of its tines swishing through the tea. Then, notice matcha’s honey-like fragrance filling the room. Take a sip, and feel its richness blossom throughout your palate. Finally, sit in the moment, and observe how refreshed and relaxed you feel.

Experiencing fulfilling moments like these is possible if you have well-designed tools. This is why we put together this set, to provide the basics for enjoying matcha at its fullest.

A Comprehensive Kit for Matcha

We carefully selected each item in this kit as an essential for making delicious matcha, and we even rely on each of these tools ourselves at our Kyoto and Tokyo tearooms, using them to prepare many bowls of matcha every day.

Packaged in a beautiful box, this kit is also one of our top gift recommendations.

Horai - 20g The included matcha blend Horai is our top recommendation for those new to Ippodo. Its character is rich and smooth.

Matcha Bowl - Cream We designed this bowl to highlight matcha’s beautiful color and emphasize its taste, texture, and fragrance. It has a wide and deep shape, which makes it simple to whisk matcha without spilling.

Excellent Kit

The kit arrived well packaged with all pieces intact. It is very convenient to be able to buy all of the matcha-making tools together. The bowl is very delicate and fits well in my hands. I am looking forward to many days of drinking matcha.

Good, but very expensive

I’ve seen different parts of this set from the same manufacturers for cheaper (whisk, spoon, etc). This is a good set, but it is definitely quite a bit more expensive than if you had found each utensil on its own

Beautiful Matcha Kit

And such a high quality! The matcha bowl look simple yet so elegant to hold. The warm cream color makes the matcha even look creamier! Love sipping from this bowl. And the bamboo whisk is excellent craftsmanship even if made in S.Korea; lightweight and sleek from handle to prongs and the flexibility makes it so durable and makes beautiful FOAM! The sifter has a nice design and some weight to it—definitely such a high quality stainless steel. Now the HORAI matcha has pleasant aroma and is very smooth tasting tea with slight vegetal notes that turns into pleasantly sweet and nutty flavor! Quite a complex matcha for me but my palate is still longing for Ummon🙊🍵
