A 100 prong Japanese made chasen for preparing Usucha (thin matcha) made from natural Japanese bamboo in Takayama, Nara, Japan by Japanese artisan whisk maker Yasaburo Tanimura. If you are a beginner at preparing Usucha (thin matcha) we highly recommend this whisk first! That is because it has more prongs and a wider handle than our other whisks for Usucha (thin matcha). More prongs and the wider handle makes it easier to achieve a nice frothy matcha even if your whisking style is not so great or you haven't had much experience whisking matcha.

PLEASE NOTE: This is an artisan whisk with thin prongs that is specifically designed by Yasaburo Tanimura for preparing Usucha (thin matcha), not Koicha (thick matcha). If you need a whisk for preparing Koicha (thick matcha), please consider our Chuaraho Whisk. It has thicker and fewer prongs and is designed exclusively for preparing Koicha (thick matcha).
