The Kurotake Shin Chasen whips matcha into a delightful froth. This dark bamboo whisk is carefully crafted in the shin shape. Featuring roughly 64 tines, the chasen expertly balances thinness and thickness. The dark bamboo is a favorite within the Omotesenke school of tea ceremony. After use, rinse and allow the whisk to air dry to help maintain its shape and prevent mold.
