DoMatcha - Bamboo Whisk, Traditional Japanese Chasen

I like the fresh mowed grass taste of Matcha for some reason, and this whisk makes it really quick and easy to prepare. You're not supposed to boil matcha, so I usually heat the water separately, then create a slurry by whipping 1 Tbsp of warm tap water with the powdered tea, and then add to the hot water - doesn't leave any chunks behind.This whisk works awesome for mixing any fine powder with liquid. I even use it to make corn starch slurry. The best thing is that it allows you to mix powders with a minimal amount of liquid compared to the traditional western whisks, which have fewer, but thicker spokes.I don't trust it in the dishwasher; I just give it a good rinse and flick it dry.

Love this product. The sheer beauty and delicate design is impressive. I bought the ceremonial grade matcha tea and using this bamboo whisk is a perfect match. It’s has wonderful blending power, easy to clean and easy to use.

Great little whisk. I use it exclusively for matcha tea. It's held up nicely over time. I don't use it every day but at least once a week or so. There's not a lot of curves left in the tines but that doesn't bother me, it froths up well for my liking. For cleaning I just rinse it thoroughly with warm running water and let it dry out completely before placing it back upright in the little stand I bought for it.

You won't believe your eyes when you see how this little bamboo whisk irons out all the lups and creates that desired froth with just a few strokes. A stainless whisk just won't do they jo like this baby. It makes tea-making, even with an ingredient -grade matcha into a ceremonial ritual that is efficient, effective, and enjoyable. A must have.

Works fine but I feel like I could have used a regular household cooking tool to do the job.

This whisk is a must in the proper making of match green tea. The whisk itself is of very good quality and does a great job. Expect it to "bloom" after the first use. I rinse mine off after use and allow to air dry in the plastic container it comes in. (Lid off) I expect it to last a very long time.

Very disappointed. I only bought this because the product description says " Made in Japan". I have bought many many things made in China and have been pleased ; however, for certain items I do care where it was made. For me this item had to be made in Japan. If u don't mind made in China, then buy this. But if you want to get the REAL tool made in Japan then this is NOT the one.

I don't care if made in China or Japan, as long as it is of quality. Unfortunately, the quality is poor. I have studied Chanoyu (Japanese Tea Ceremony) for over 20 years and seen my fair share of chasen. I thought i would give this a try since the price is so low. (it's normal to pay $20-40 for a good chasen in Japan) Unfortunately it did not hold up to the quality of other chasen I have used. Every chasen unfurls a bit after soaking and using to whisk, that is normal, but usually they retain some curve in the tines. This one, unfurled completely straight after only a few minutes in water. It retained hardly any of the form. The tines are a bit thick and don't whisk matcha into a froth the way others do. All chasen will wear out after a few months of use, maybe this will last longer because the tines are thicker? I knew I was taking a gamble with this one, at least I didn't bet too much!
