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.

Size 5" × 5" × 4.3"
MaterialBamboo
OriginSouth Korea

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. Do not store it in the plastic case it comes in, as it may develop mold.

Instructions

Follow these tips to keep your Chasen in optimal condition.

1. When whisking
Dip in water before use to make the tips less brittle (soak for about 1-2 minutes). Rinse in water – without soap – soon after use.
