Matcha whisk and tools guide
The Matcha Whisk (chasen) is the one tool you really need. Its fine bamboo prongs break up the powder and whisk in air, giving the smooth, frothy layer you cannot get with a spoon or an electric frother. Soak it in warm water for a minute before use so the prongs soften, and keep it on a Matcha Whisk Holder so it dries in shape.
A Chashaku Bamboo Matcha Scoop measures about 0.5–1 g per scoop, and the Matcha Hand Sifter removes lumps before you whisk. For the bowl, the Japanese Matcha Bowl is wide enough for a proper zigzag; the Matcha Bowl with Spout makes pouring into a latte glass easy.
Rinse the whisk in warm water only, no soap, and replace it when the prongs start to break. Pair your tools with our matcha powder. Free UK shipping is available.

Matcha accessories FAQ
Why should I sift matcha?
Matcha is so fine that it clumps easily. Sifting it through a hand sifter before adding water breaks up lumps, so it whisks into a smooth, even foam.
How much matcha is one bamboo scoop?
One heaped chashaku scoop is roughly 1 g. Two scoops with 60 to 90 ml of water at about 71 to 79°C make a typical bowl.
Why use a matcha bowl instead of a mug?
A matcha bowl is wide with a flat bottom, which gives the whisk room for the quick zigzag motion that builds foam. A mug is too narrow to whisk well.
When should I replace my matcha whisk?
Replace it when the tines start to break or lose their curl, since it will no longer foam well. With daily use and good care, a whisk usually lasts several months.
