Matcha Bamboo Whisk Chasen

Traditional bamboo whisk or "chasen” is an indispensable tool for the Japanese matcha tea ceremony. The fine handmade prongs are carved from a single piece of bamboo, by craftsmen whose skills are passed down from generation to generation. When using a chasen to whisk matchina tea, it is best to keep a loose and relaxed wrist and make quick zigzag movements in the form of the letter "W" or "M" - this helps to give the matcha the perfect consistency.
