Moya Matcha Chasen Bamboo Whisk

moya matcha chasen bamboo whisk is a traditional japanese tool essential for preparing matcha. handcrafted from a single piece of light-seasoned bamboo, it features 100 finely carved prongs that are gently curved at the bottom and gathered at the top, finished with a wooden handle. this design allows for optimal frothing of matcha, creating a smooth and creamy texture. it is ideal for use with a traditional matcha bowl, facilitating the blending of matcha with water to produce a thin layer of foam on the surface. to maintain its shape and prolong its lifespan, it is recommended to store the whisk on a dedicated chasen holder after use. avoid placing a wet chasen in airtight containers to prevent mold formation. the whisk is not dishwasher safe and should be rinsed gently with warm water after each use. for optimal results, use water not exceeding 80°c during preparation.
