Product Description

An essential tea utensil for preparing and whisking matcha. This white bamboo matcha whisk helps evenly disperse matcha powder into a milk or water base.

Each whisk is carefully crafted in Nara, Japan with traditional techniques. It's made from one piece of bamboo, with a fascinating method of splitting the bamboo along its grain/fibre- the durable and flexible, brush-like tip aerates the liquid as you whisk, creating a fine, silky smooth matcha. 

It is said that there are only about 15 chasen craftsmen in Japan today- among those, Takayama chasen is crafted by extremely skillful hands, making it a long-lasting, excellent tool trusted by many.

We recommend pairing with the Matcha Whisk Stand, sold separately.

Takayama Chasen

Born in Takayama in Ikoma, Nara Prefecture, about 500 years ago during the Muromachi period. It is said that the tea master Murata Juko, who is said to be the founder of Wabi-cha, requested the production of a stirring tool suitable for the tea ceremony, and that it was created by Takayama Minbu-Irimichi Sosui.

After that, the Takayama Chasen that was created was presented to Emperor Gotomimon. He was extremely pleased with it, and received the name of "Takashi" from the emperor. Soseki was honored and worked hard to make chasen and improve his skills, and the manufacturing method became the story of the Takayama family. After that, when the Takayama family moved, the remaining 16 vassals entrusted the production of the chasen.
