Bamboo brush - 80 bristles

Bamboo whisk standard, light - your tool for real matcha enjoyment

Are you looking for an authentic introduction to the world of Japanese matcha? The bamboo whisk - called chasen in Japan - is much more than just a kitchen utensil. It is the traditional tool used to combine finely ground matcha powder with water to create a velvety, foamy composition. And that's exactly what matcha is all about: not just taste, but texture, mindfulness - and that moment when powder and water become something higher.

This light-colored bamboo whisk in standard design combines functionality with craftsmanship. Made from a single piece of bamboo in filigree handwork, it unfolds its full effect especially in bowls with a wide opening - just as the Japanese matcha tradition dictates.

For a foam that works

A good matcha thrives on its fine foam. The powder can hardly be mixed without lumps with a spoon - the chasen, on the other hand, ensures an even emulsion and fine bubbles on the surface. After just a few whisks with the bamboo whisk, this characteristic, silky foam is created, which harmoniously combines taste and texture.

A tip for beginners: soak the bamboo whisk in warm water for around 30 minutes before using it for the first time - preferably directly in the matcha bowl. This makes the bristles supple and less prone to breakage. It is also advisable to slightly moisten the whisk for a few minutes before each subsequent preparation. You will quickly feel how natural the movements become - and how handling becomes dedication.

Well cared for = longer enjoyment

After use, simply leave the whisk to air dry, ideally on a suitable bamboo whisk holder. Please do not put it back in the transport packaging - residual moisture could lead to mold growth. The whisk also changes its shape over time - a natural process that underlines its uniqueness.

The chasen only unfolds its full power in vessels with a wide opening, such as a traditional matcha bowl. For quick preparation in a glass or mug, we recommend using an electric milk frother
