JAPAN Matcha Whisk White Bamboo

Handmade shiratake shin chasen — a white bamboo matcha whisk finished in the shin shape. It has graceful, curving form and roughly 64 delicately shaved tines, occupying the middle ground between the many-thin-tined usucha chasen and the fewer, thicker-koicha chasen. The tine count and profile make it suitable for whipping a fine, foamy usucha as well as working a thick, rich koicha.

After use, rinse or whisk in water and use fingers or a cloth to remove residue; avoid soap, which can harm porous bamboo. Stand the whisk upright in a kusenaoshi and allow it to air dry thoroughly to preserve tine shape and prevent mold.
