Chasen Kazuho Bamboo Matcha Whisk 4 pc Set + Chashaku Scoop New Japan

Description

Condition: New - unused
  • Set: 4 x Kazuho whisks + 1 chashaku (tea scoop, approx. 18 cm)
  • Whisk size: approx. 6 cm diameter x 11 cm height
  • Condition: New, unused
  • 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+
