A bamboo whisk—an essential tool for making proper matcha. The Matchatori chasen is handcrafted with 100 fine bristles, allowing you to quickly whisk the matcha until smooth and create a delicate, creamy foam on the surface. It is precisely this high number of bristles that helps break up clumps and incorporate air into the drink, resulting in a significantly smoother texture than when whisking with a spoon or a standard kitchen whisk.
Before use, simply soak the chasen in warm water for a moment, then whisk the matcha with a quick, sweeping motion in the shape of the letter M or W. Don’t press down on the bottom unnecessarily—the delicate bamboo straws will do the work for you. After preparation, rinse the whisk, let it dry thoroughly, and ideally store it on a chasen stand, which helps it retain its shape.
