The chasen matcha whisk is an essential tool for making the perfect bowl of matcha. The Chasen #1 is recommended for those who enjoy making matcha with a chasen on a daily basis.
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.
The Chasen #1 is hand-made by artisans in South Korea who were taught the craft by a master artisan from Japan. Each whisk is quality-checked by Ippodo before being accepted.
We recommend this whisk to those who enjoy using a chasen to make matcha every day.

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.
Avoid storing in the case!
Each chasen is shipped in a protective case, which is not meant for storage. (The chasen may form mold if kept in this case.)
The chasen can develop a crack in the handle portion due to changes in humidity. Don’t worry! The thread weaving at the base of the prongs prevents any cracks from spreading further. In fact, many of our chasen that we use daily at our stores and tearooms have a crack in them.
