Traditional bamboo matcha whisk
A handcrafted matcha whisk used in traditional Japanese tea ceremonies to prepare perfectly smooth matcha
This handmade bamboo whisk, known as a ‘chasen’ (茶筅), is traditionally used in Japanese tea ceremonies to prepare perfectly smooth matcha. Handcrafted from a single piece of winter-hardened bamboo by specialist chasen artisans in a family workshop that has been crafting these ceremonial masterpieces for generations, each traditional bamboo chasen is truly a unique work of art. It features 100 tines, each of which has been expertly cut, meticulously woven with string, and curled at the tip to allow for the tea to be efficiently whisked to create smooth-tasting matcha — a beautiful work of craftsmanship that will add elegance and sophistication to your daily #MatchaRitual.
Dimensions: Diameter 60mm / Height 105mm
+/-10% variations may occur due to the handmade nature of the product
After each use, rinse with cold water and stand, tines up, to dry in a well-ventilated area. With use, the twisted centre and outer tips of the whisk will gradually unfurl; this is a natural process traditionally known as 'blooming'.
Customer Reviews
This is the perfect chasen to make matcha green tea. It’s high quality with more and thicker prongs. Do not buy a chasen from Amazon! They are poor quality and not worth the money.

It was my first chasen and I definitely feel like it will last me a couple years! I ordered from this brand because of their amazing matcha that I was able to try from a family member, and since it tasted DELICIOUS, I figured their matcha tools would equally be as amazing.
Thank you so much for sharing this thoughtful feedback! I'm thrilled to hear you're loving the chasen—and that it feels durable and long-lasting.
It means the world to us that you chose Matchæologist based on your matcha experience—and I'm glad the tools are living up to your expectations- Matchaeologist Team!
This was a gift to my granddaughter and she loves it

Thank you for your review and for your support Aditi!. We’re so happy you had a positive experience with our Traditional Chasen!- Matchaeologist Team
This chasen is way too big, was not expecting the tines/prongs to be so wide. It's hard to whisk because of how big it is. There's not much room to whisk in my bowl. I have a pretty standard sized bowl, so for the ones who have a smaller bowl, there's no way you'd be able to whisk at all. Other than the size, it does seem good quality. But, because of the size i find myself not wanting to use it.
