SANRAE Bamboo Matcha Whisk (100 Prong)

SANRAE Bamboo Matcha Whisk (100 Prong)

The essential tool for your daily matcha ritual.

Handcrafted from a single piece of sustainable bamboo, our 100-prong Chasen is designed to create a smooth, velvety, beautifully foamed cup of matcha — every time. The fine prongs aerate your matcha effortlessly, transforming powder and water into a creamy, frothy brew in seconds.

Rooted in Japanese tea tradition and refined for the modern ritual, this whisk is more than a tool — it’s an invitation to slow down, be present, and whisk with intention.

Why 100 Prongs?

The 100-prong design allows for finer aeration, creating a silkier texture and a richer foam — ideal for ceremonial-style matcha.

How to Use

1. Soak the whisk in warm water for 20–30 seconds before use to soften the prongs and prevent breakage.

2. Add 1 teaspoon SANRAE Ceremonial Matcha to a bowl.

3. Pour in 60ml warm (not boiling) water.

4. Whisk briskly in a gentle “W” motion until smooth and frothy.

Care Instructions

• Rinse with warm water immediately after use.

• Do not use soap or place in the dishwasher.

Unlike a metal or electric whisk, the bamboo is highly flexible, preventing any scratching or damage to your matcha bowl, & doesn't ruin the taste of the matcha. 

Using a bamboo matcha whisk, also known as a chasen, offers several benefits for making matcha:

Superior Froth: The fine and delicate tines of a bamboo whisk are designed to effectively mix and froth matcha powder with water, creating a smooth and creamy texture. The whisk's unique shape helps to aerate the matcha, resulting in a frothy layer on top, which enhances the overall drinking experience.

Traditional Experience: Using a bamboo whisk to prepare matcha is part of the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. By using this tool, you're not just making a beverage; you're also engaging in a cultural practice that has been passed down for generations. This adds a sense of ritual and authenticity to the matcha-making process.

Even Distribution: The whisk's design ensures that the matcha powder is evenly distributed throughout the water, preventing clumps and ensuring a consistent flavor profile in every sip. This even distribution helps to fully extract the flavor and nutrients from the matcha powder, resulting in a more balanced and enjoyable drink.

Durability: Bamboo whisks are known for their durability and resilience. Unlike metal or plastic utensils, bamboo whisks are less likely to scratch or damage the surface of your matcha bowl (chawan). With proper care, a bamboo whisk can last for a long time, making it a sustainable and eco-friendly choice for matcha enthusiasts.

Aesthetic Appeal: The bamboo whisk adds an aesthetic touch to the matcha-making process. Its elegant and simple design complements the traditional Japanese tea set, enhancing the visual appeal of the matcha preparation. Using a bamboo whisk can elevate the overall experience of enjoying matcha, making it not only delicious but also visually pleasing.
