The whisk that makes matcha foamy.
This bamboo matcha whisk (called a chasen) is carved from natural white bamboo, with 120 thin prongs that whisk matcha and water into a smooth, foamy cup. It comes in a clear protective case to help it keep its shape between uses.
Specs
120 prongs, white bamboo, 2.5" wide by 4" tall, with a protective case. Made in China.
Care
Soak the prongs in warm water for a minute before whisking so they're flexible. Rinse with water after use (no soap), then let it dry upright on a whisk stand so it keeps its shape.
Pairs with: our Ceremonial Grade Matcha, Glass Matcha Bowl, and the full guide on How to Make Matcha.
Questions
How is this different from the whisk in the Matcha Whisk Set?
This one has 120 prongs. The set's whisk has 100. More prongs make a finer, foamier froth.
Do I really need a bamboo whisk?
It makes the smoothest, frothiest matcha. A small battery-operated frother works otherwise.
