MATCHADO Shin-Kazuho Takayama Bamboo Whisk (NEW) - Handmade in Japan

Shin-Kazuho Takayama bamboo tea whisk (chasen), is handcrafted in Nara, Japan, by artisan Sabun Kubo. As a certified Traditional Craft, this premium whisk is specially designed to meet the high standards of the Urasenke school Grand Master.

The name Shin-Kazuho refers to its prestigious standing and traditional design; Shin signifies the highest, most formal rank in Japanese tea ceremony aesthetics, while Kazuho represents the traditional standard of around 70 finely split bamboo prongs.

Featuring straight, uncurled tips, the bamboo tines offer exceptional strength and resilience. It is incredibly versatile—perfectly crafted for preparing both koicha (thick, rich matcha) and usucha (light matcha) with ease. Highly favoured for its usability and exceptional durability, this authentic chasen is the ultimate tool to elevate your matcha experience.

Selected by MATCHADO for its exceptional craftsmanship and ability to create the perfect bowl of matcha.
