Handcrafted by Tango Tanimura
20th-generation chasen artisan from Takayama, Nara—the historic heart of tea whisk making. With nearly 500 years of family tradition, Tanimura continues to craft each whisk using secret techniques passed down for centuries.

Before you use:

The Chasen is attached to its paper box with a rice-based adhesive. To remove the Chasen, gently grasp the handle and carefully peel it away from the box. After that, use a damp cloth to clean the underside of the handle.

Important: Before using the Chasen, it’s advisable to briefly soak it in hot water to help prevent the delicate prongs from breaking.

Please be aware that during transportation, the base may detach from the box due to movement.

Care Instructions & Precautions:
The tips of the Chasen are delicate and may break if pressed too hard against the bottom of the tea bowl. To preserve its quality, avoid using dishwashers or dryers, as sudden changes in temperature and humidity can cause cracks.

After use, rinse the Chasen with water and ensure it is thoroughly dried before storing. Store the Chasen in a location that avoids extreme temperatures, high humidity, dry conditions, and direct sunlight. The ideal humidity for storage is between 45% and 60%. 

Be aware that natural drying can lead to vertical cracks in the handle, which can be seen as a unique feature of the bamboo's natural character.

Dimensions: H: 11 cm, diameter of handle: 1.8 cm

New: Made in Japan - Takayama, Nara

Frequently asked questions
DOES MATCHA EXPIRED OR PASSED ITS BEST DATE?

Matcha does not “expire”. The date on the can is the manufacturer’s best before date, which is the manufacturer's suggested date of when the matcha will taste at its peak umami.

How fresh is our matcha?

  • All our matcha is freshly picked from most time.
  • Their shelf life follows the manufacturer's guide, which varies from 3 to 12 months (mostly: 6–10 months).
  • If a product’s BBD date is very close or part of a promotion, we clearly label it as a separate variant so you can choose knowingly.

How should I store my matcha?

  • Before BBF date: Store in a cool (<25°C) and dry place, or in the fridge.
  • Closer to BBF date (around 2 weeks before): Move to the freezer to maintain umami and greenness flavour.
  • After BBF date: You can keep it in the freezer and enjoy for a few extra months.
  • Tip: Once you take it out of the freezer for use, return it immediately to avoid moisture affecting the umami.
