Handmade Bamboo Whisk

Handmade Bamboo Whisk (Chasen)

Crafted using traditional techniques, this handmade bamboo whisk is an essential tool for preparing smooth, well-balanced matcha. Each whisk is carved from a single piece of natural bamboo, combining functionality, durability, and quiet beauty.

Choose the Right Whisk

• Standard (Lower Prong Count)
  Designed for everyday use, this style offers a comfortable grip, strong resilience, and excellent durability. Ideal for beginners and daily matcha preparation.

• Fine (Higher Prong Count)
  With more flexible, delicate tines, this whisk produces a finer, creamier foam and a more refined texture. Best suited for experienced matcha drinkers who value precision and softness.

Features

• Handmade from 100% natural bamboo

• Flexible, resilient tines for efficient whisking

• Creates a dense, even foam without clumping

• Lightweight and comfortable to hold

• Suitable for usucha (thin tea) preparation

First Use (Preparing the Whisk)

Before first use, soak the whisk in hot water (around 80°C / 175°F) for 3–5 minutes. This softens the bamboo and allows the tines to fully open, ensuring optimal performance and preventing breakage.

Care & Maintenance

• Rinse gently with clean water after each use

• Do not use soap or dishwasher

• Shake off excess water and reshape the tines

• Dry thoroughly in a well-ventilated area

• For best results, store on a whisk holder to help maintain shape and prevent mold

Natural variations in color and texture are part of the charm of handmade bamboo and make each whisk uniquely yours.
