This Shin whisk is handcrafted in the traditional style by artisan Kazuhisa Hirata.
The Shin chasen features a simple, refined design, and its iconic black bamboo gives the tool a distinctive character. Its gently curved—rather than curled—tips are designed specifically not to create foam, but to dissolve matcha smoothly in hot water, allowing you to enjoy the fresh, sharp green notes of the tea.
Suitable for enthusiastic matcha lovers and seasoned practitioners alike.
Please note: Because each chasen is made from natural materials, variations in appearance are to be expected.
