100-Prong Bamboo Matcha Whisk (Chasen)

Prepare smooth, frothy matcha with this traditional 100-prong bamboo whisk, also known as a chasen. Its many fine tines help disperse matcha powder evenly and incorporate air for a light, creamy foam—ideal for everyday usucha (thin matcha).

• Style: 100-prong (百本立) matcha whisk
• Material: Natural bamboo
• Use: Blending and aerating matcha green tea
• Origin: Anji County, Zhejiang, China
• Includes: One bamboo whisk in a protective case

How to Use

1. Soak the whisk tips briefly in warm water to soften the bamboo.
2. Add sifted matcha and hot—not boiling—water to a matcha bowl.
3. Whisk briskly in a “W” or “M” motion until a fine foam forms.

Care Instructions

Rinse gently with clean water immediately after use. Do not use soap or place in a dishwasher. Shake off excess water, reshape the tines, and air-dry completely in a well-ventilated area. A whisk holder is recommended to help preserve its shape. Natural bamboo may vary slightly in color and grain.
