Our newly hand-made chasen is a 120-pronged whisk, carefully split from a single bamboo stalk. This higher number of prongs was specifically chosen for its ability to combine and texture matcha with more ease and fluidity, especially those who like a good amount of crema. To make chasen with such numerous prongs requires greater skill, care and patience by the crafters.
Care and maintenance:
- First, cure the whisk by running warm water over it and allowing the prongs to unfurl from the centre.-After each use, rinse thoroughly with warm water and allow excess water to drain downwards (away from the handle).
- Over time, when the prongs soften too much and no longer holds firm, it is time to replace your chasen.
