Boutique Bamboo Whisk (Takayama Chasen)
Handmade in Takayama, Nara Prefecture — the historical birthplace of the chasen, this bamboo whisk, or chasen (茶筅), is a centuries-old tool used in Japanese tea ceremonies to create smooth, velvety and frothy matcha. Hand-carved from a single piece of bamboo, its fine prongs create a smooth, creamy texture — blending tradition and taste in every cup.
A more refined and artisanal take on the classic bamboo chasen, the Nara Takayama whisk is crafted with fewer but thicker prongs designed to create a slower whisking motion and a denser, silkier froth. Perfect for those who want a more “ceremonial” or boutique experience, it is often the choice of enthusiasts and displayed proudly as part of their tea collection. Elegant, collectible, and made for those who savor every detail.
