Chasen - Yellow
This bamboo chasen (matcha whisk) is handmade by the last remaining artisan in Korea, a legacy that dates back to the Japanese colonization period when many Japanese chasen makers established kōbō (workshops) in Korea. Over time, many of these skilled craftsmen passed away, and unfortunately, their knowledge and techniques were not passed down. Today, only one master artisan remains, continuing this nearly lost tradition. The 100-tine chasen is renowned for creating creamier, finer foam. Its more delicate tines produce a smooth texture, though they may require gentler handling to maintain longevity. This whisk also features a slightly thicker handle, providing a more comfortable grip during use. This chasen is not just a functional tool but a piece of history, crafted by the last artisan preserving the skills passed down through generations from the workshops established during the colonial era.Also available in black.Care and use instructions:Before use, soak in warm water the part of
