Transform your daily matcha ritual with our handcrafted Takayama chasen, a traditional bamboo whisk essential for achieving the perfect froth and texture. Originating from Takayama, Nara Prefecture, this whisk embodies centuries of Japanese craftsmanship, bringing an authentic touch to your tea ceremony.

Our chasen features meticulously hand-carved prongs, specifically in the 80-count configuration. This design is tailored to create the fine, silky foam characteristic of usucha (thin tea). With this whisk, you can effortlessly achieve the desired consistency, enhancing your matcha experience.

Crafted from high-quality Henon bamboo, our chasen strikes the perfect balance between durability and delicacy. While the thin prongs are designed for optimal frothing, they are also resilient enough to withstand regular use when properly cared for. This ensures you can enjoy the traditional experience without undue worry about breakage.

To ensure the longevity of your Takayama chasen, follow these simple maintenance steps: Rinse with warm water after each use. Avoid soap or detergents, as they can damage the bamboo. Store on a ceramic whisk holder (kusenaoshi) to maintain its shape. Allow to air dry completely before storing. Replace every 6-12 months with regular use to maintain optimal performance.

Whether you're a beginner just starting your matcha journey or a seasoned tea master, our Takayama chasen is designed to elevate your matcha experience. Its user-friendly design allows you to create perfectly frothed matcha with minimal effort, bringing the essence of the Japanese tea ceremony to your home. Enjoy the tradition and quality with every cup.

Once these sell out there is a 6 month wait, due to high demand and limited supply.

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.
