Maintenance Guide:

Gentle Cleaning:

After each use, rinse the stirrer with lukewarm water. Gently shake off excess water to prevent any residual tea or beverage from drying on the prongs.

Air Drying:

Place the Chasen Stirrer with the prongs facing down on a clean, dry surface. Allow it to air dry thoroughly before storage. Avoid leaving it in a damp or confined space.

Handling Caution:

Due to the delicate nature of the product, handle with care during cleaning and drying. Avoid applying excessive force to the prongs or the handle to prevent damage.

Proper Storage:

Store the stirrer in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a designated container or holder to protect the prongs from bending or breaking.

Avoid Soaking:

Never soak the Chasen Stirrer in water or any liquid. Prolonged exposure to moisture can cause deformation and compromise the integrity of the bamboo.

Regular Inspection:

Periodically inspect the stirrer for any signs of damage, bent prongs, or wear. If you notice any issues, discontinue use and consider replacing the stirrer to maintain optimal performance.

Creative Culinary Use:

Embrace the stirrer's versatility by exploring various culinary applications. Experiment with mixing dressings, seasonings, and more, but ensure thorough cleaning afterward to preserve the authentic tea experience.

Rotate Usage:

Extend the lifespan of your Handle Chasen Stirrer by rotating its usage with other utensils. This helps distribute wear evenly and ensures consistent performance over time.

Respect the Craft:

Admire and respect the craftsmanship that goes into each Takayama Chasen product. Treating it with care ensures prolonged beauty and functionality, enriching your tea experiences.

By following these maintenance guidelines, you'll uphold the Takayama Craftsmanship of your Handle Chasen Stirrer, guaranteeing many delightful moments of tea enjoyment to come.
