Half kitchen utensil, half art piece, our chasen (bamboo matcha whisks) exemplify functional beauty - truly an icon of Japanese culture and tradition. Our chasens are: -  Hand-carved from a single piece of bamboo. -  Are composed of 120 prongs–the most a whisk can have: an indication of the highest caliber of quality.     Take a #MatchaMoment to master Matcha preparation. Use our chasen to whisk your tea into the perfectly creamy, umami-filled froth. Need a video tutorial?
