Bamboo Matcha Whisk (Chasen)
Elevate your daily matcha ritual with our traditional Bamboo Matcha Whisk — also known as a chasen. Handcrafted from a single piece of natural bamboo, this essential tool creates the smooth, creamy froth that transforms matcha from powder into a perfectly balanced cup.
Designed with finely carved prongs, the chasen gently aerates matcha, helping to dissolve clumps and release its rich umami flavour and vibrant colour.
Made from 100% natural bamboo.Unlike metal whisks or electric frothers, a bamboo chasen protects the delicate taste of matcha and preserves the authenticity of the ritual.
How to Use-
Soak the bamboo whisk (chasen) in warm water for 1-2 minutes to soften the bristles and prevent breakage.
-
Sift 1–2 teaspoons of matcha into your cup or bowl.
-
Pour 70-80°C (158-176°F) water into the bowl—avoid boiling water to preserve matcha’s flavour.
-
Whisk in a gentle “W” motion until a light foam forms on top.
-
Rinse with warm water and allow to air dry.
For best longevity, pair with a whisk holder to maintain the prong shape.
With daily use it is recommended to replace your whisk every 3-6 months, or with occasional use and proper care replace up to 1-2 years. Replace it immediately if you notice broken or severely frayed tines, mold, or if it has lost its shape and cannot produce a frothy, smooth foam.
