Item No. 40115.1 The classic among the Matcha whisks (Chasen) in size 80. The handcrafted bamboo Matcha whisks are essential for creating the fine foam-top on your Matcha and making sure the powder dissolves without leaving lumps or a grainy texture. The finer the prongs of the whisk (indicated by a larger size) the better the results. For the easy preparation at home we recommend to first add only a small amount of water to the Matcha Powder and use the whisk to blend it to a smooth paste. Then add the rest of the water and whisk it up painting an M with the whisk with quick movements from the wrist. Matcha whisks are made from bamboo-sticks that are cut into fine prongs at the top and then bent into shape. The thicker the bamboo and the higher/sturdier the quality, the more prongs can be made, which is reflected in the different sizes (i.e. 80, 100, 120). Although the numbers traditionally refer to the amount of prongs, the width of the bamboo and the fineness of the prongs are actually more relevant to the size indications. You will notice that especially Usucha is easier to whisk up with a larger whisk. When a smaller Matcha bowl is used however, a slender whisk is more suitable.

Mino-yaki matcha bowl (chawan) from Gifu Prefecture.The blue-green color gradients on the outside of the bowl are reminiscent of the sea, especially also, due to the glaze that is glossy on top and matte on the bottom. On the inside and at the foot of the bowl, the light color of the clay can be seen.Due to the bulbous shape of the bowl is plenty of space to swing the match broom. This makes the bowl highly recommended, especially for matcha novices. The bowl is about 7.5cm high and has a diameter of 12cm. Matcha bowls are actually never filled completely, but only to about 1/3 with about 100ml per serving. This bowl is made in Japan. Please note that the shape, color and size of the tea pottery may vary slightly!
