Takayama Chasen | Authentic 80-Prong Bamboo Matcha Whisk
Elevate your tea ritual with a masterpiece of Nara craftsmanship. This Chasen is meticulously handcrafted in Takayama, Nara Prefecture, the only region in Japan dedicated to the 500-year-old art of tea whisk making. Featuring 80 delicate prongs carved from a single piece of natural bamboo, it is designed to aerate your matcha perfectly, creating the thick, creamy froth (usucha) essential for a true Japanese tea experience. Sturdy, durable, and balanced, this whisk is the ultimate tool for the discerning matcha lover.

- Precision Whisking: The 80-prong structure provides the perfect resistance to suspend matcha powder in water, ensuring a smooth, lump-free texture.
- Artisanal Uniqueness: Hand-carved from natural materials; slight variations in color and shape are a hallmark of an authentic, artist-made Japanese tool.
- Superior Durability: Crafted with traditional techniques that ensure the tines remain flexible yet resilient over time.
- Lightweight Balance: At just 35g, it is ergonomically weighted for the fast, "W" or "M" shaped whisking motion used in tea ceremonies.
⚠️ Care Instructions:
• Before use: Soak the prongs in warm water for 1 minute to soften them.
• After use: Rinse with water and air dry thoroughly (preferably on a Chasen-naoshi holder).
