What is the best way to measure matcha powder with a chashaku?

The best way to measure matcha powder with a chashaku is to use light, even scoops and keep the amount consistent each time. Just dip the bamboo scoop into the matcha powder tin and lift a small, rounded portion without pressing it down. For a standard serving, 1–2 scoops (about 1–2 grams each) is usually enough, depending on how strong you like your matcha tea. Let the powder sit loosely on the scoop rather than packing it in. From there, sift the matcha into your bowl before whisking to reduce clumps and create a smoother texture.

Can this set be used for traditional matcha tea ceremonies?

Yes, this set has a very simple design that works well for traditional matcha tea preparation. The spout on the bowl can also be used when serving multiple portions, making it practical beyond a single serving. It’s also well-suited for modern recipes, so you can use it for both traditional matcha tea ceremonies and everyday drinks like matcha lattes or iced matcha.

Is the matcha bowl microwave and dishwasher safe?

The matcha bowl is microwave safe, making it easy to heat water or matcha directly in the bowl. To keep the glossy glaze and detailed artwork looking beautiful over time, we recommend hand washing instead of using a dishwasher. Gentle care will help preserve the bowl's craftsmanship and vibrant design.

How do I choose the best matcha whisk (chasen)?

Choosing the best matcha whisk (chasen) depends on the number of prongs, material, shape, and craftsmanship. A whisk with 80-100 prongs is ideal for creating a smooth, frothy matcha, making it an excellent choice for everyday use. Traditional chasen are handcrafted from bamboo, offering the perfect flexibility and durability for whisking, unlike plastic or metal alternatives. A well-curved tip helps achieve a smooth consistency and prevents clumping.

Preparation & Care

Traditional Usucha (Thin Tea) Recipe

Ingredients:

1-1.5 tsp Ceremonial grade matcha
2-3 oz (60-90 ml) hot water (175°F / 80°C)

Equipment:

Matcha bowl
Bamboo matcha whisk (chasen)
Bamboo Matcha Scoop or Chashaku

Instructions:

Preheat your matcha bowl: Pour hot water into the tea bowl, swirl it around to warm the sides, then discard the water.
Using the bamboo matcha scoop, add 1-1.5 teaspoons of matcha powder to the warmed matcha Chawan.
Carefully pour 2-3 ounces of water (175°F or 80°C) over the matcha powder.
Using your bamboo whisk, whisk the matcha and water together in a zig-zag motion until a frothy layer forms on the surface.

Tip: The key to a perfect usucha is in the whisking! Whisk briskly and continuously until you achieve a smooth, frothy consistency with minimal lumps.

Remember: Making usucha is an art that takes practice. Adjust your Japanese green matcha powder and water quantities to find the perfect balance and preferred taste.

Once you have finished preparing your matcha, rinse your bamboo whisk thoroughly with lukewarm water and place it on a whisk holder to air dry properly and maintain its shape.
