A refined whisk with ~100–120 finer prongs, designed for usucha (thin tea) when you want a very fine froth. Delicate yet precise, it creates an exceptionally smooth, silky foam. This chasen is perfect for those who appreciate an elevated, refined matcha experience, though it requires careful handling due to its more fragile tines.
Made in Nara, Japan.
Care instructions
Gently hand wash only, not suitable for the dishwasher. Dry with a clean, soft cloth.
