Nodate Chasen Small White Bamboo Matcha Whisk 6 pc Set Outdoor Japan New

Description

Condition: New - each piece inspected by the seller
  • Set of 6 nodate (outdoor / travel) whisks, approx. 8.5 cm height
  • Bamboo: white bamboo
  • Condition: New
  • Prong guide: Kazuho (about 70-80 prongs) is the standard for usucha (thin tea); 100-prong (Hyappon-date) and 120-prong whisks whip a finer, creamier foam and are easy for beginners; Shin-kazuho / Shin (fewer, thicker prongs) is used for koicha (thick tea).
  • Bamboo guide: white bamboo (hakutake / shiratake) is the Urasenke standard, black bamboo (kurotake) is used by Omotesenke, and smoked bamboo (susutake) - aged for decades in the rafters of old farmhouses - is prized for its deep color.
  • Care: rinse in warm water after use (no detergent), shake off and dry upright; a chasen-naoshi (whisk shaper) keeps the prong shape.
  • Shipped from Japan with tracking; packed to protect the prongs.
  • Natural bamboo: knots, color variation and small marks are inherent to the material
  • Intended for Adult use - Age 13+
