This matcha set includes a wide and tall matcha bowl in the Kizeto Oribe style, a bamboo whisk (chasen), and a bamboo scoop (chashaku). It's a beautiful and practical setup for preparing matcha the traditional way, with ample space to whisk properly and tools that do the job efficiently.
The Japanese matcha bowl is glazed in a warm yellow ochre with patches of deep green and a scattering of iron spots. These glazes are typical of Kizeto and Oribe ware, styles that have been around since the Momoyama period. The surface is uneven and slightly textured, and the bowl has soft, irregular, and asymmetrical lines.
With an open mouth and a capacity of around 350ml, the bowl provides sufficient space to move the whisk and build a smooth foam.
The included chasen and chashaku are made from natural bamboo. The whisk has 80 tines to blend matcha and water into a uniform texture properly. The scoop is curved in the usual way for measuring matcha powder – a scoop is about 1 gram.
The set includes:
- A natural bamboo whisk (chasen) for frothing matcha smoothly.
- A bamboo scoop (chashaku) to measure the right portion.
- The Kizeto–Oribe chawan.
NOTE:
• Chawan: Our Chawans are handcrafted. Variations in glaze and color exist, making each one unique. The Chawan delivered may not be exactly as pictured, but will be crafted in the same style, shape, and spirit.
• Chasen: Tine tips of Chasen (bamboo matcha whisk) will unfurl upon first use. Store with tines facing up or place on a whisk holder to protect and maintain the tines’ shape. Care Instructions: Before first use, soak whisk in hot water for 2 minutes to soften the tines. After use, rinse under running water, then set out to dry.
• Chashaku Care Instructions: Wipe with a clean cloth. Dampen a cloth if necessary.
