Traditional bamboo matcha whisk
A handcrafted matcha whisk used in traditional Japanese tea ceremonies to prepare perfectly smooth matcha
This handmade bamboo whisk, known as a ‘chasen’ (茶筅), is traditionally used in Japanese tea ceremonies to prepare perfectly smooth matcha. Handcrafted from a single piece of winter-hardened bamboo by specialist chasen artisans in a family workshop that has been crafting these ceremonial masterpieces for generations, each traditional bamboo chasen is truly a unique work of art. It features 100 tines, each of which has been expertly cut, meticulously woven with string, and curled at the tip to allow for the tea to be efficiently whisked to create smooth-tasting matcha — a beautiful work of craftsmanship that will add elegance and sophistication to your daily #MatchaRitual.
Dimensions: Diameter 60mm / Height 105mm
+/-10% variations may occur due to the handmade nature of the product
After each use, rinse with cold water and stand, tines up, to dry in a well-ventilated area. With use, the twisted centre and outer tips of the whisk will gradually unfurl; this is a natural process traditionally known as 'blooming'.
Customer Reviews
This is the perfect chasen to make matcha green tea. It’s high quality with more and thicker prongs. Do not buy a chasen from Amazon! They are poor quality and not worth the money.

This chasen is way too big, was not expecting the tines/prongs to be so wide. It's hard to whisk because of how big it is. There's not much room to whisk in my bowl. I have a pretty standard sized bowl, so for the ones who have a smaller bowl, there's no way you'd be able to whisk at all. Other than the size, it does seem good quality. But, because of the size i find myself not wanting to use it.
This chasen is sturdy and well-made! The handle is a little bigger than my preference, but that's not a deal braker.
