Prepare a smooth, frothy bowl of matcha with this 80-bristle bamboo whisk, traditionally known in Japanese as a chasen (八十本立). Designed with fewer bristles than the 100-bristle version, this chasen offers added strength and durability while still producing fine froth ideal for usucha (thin tea). It is a practical and balanced choice for everyday matcha preparation.
This 80-bristle tea whisk is the best-seller in our collection. It is designed for easily frothing up thin tea (usucha) where the amount of matcha used is moderate. The slightly thicker bristles provide added longevity, making it an excellent choice for regular matcha drinkers.
Each whisk is shaped from a single piece of bamboo, with the bristles cut and curled to form its traditional bloom. The moderate bristle density provides efficient whisking, allowing for a stable foam with good texture, while giving the whisk greater durability over time. Compared to higher-bristle models, the 80-bristle chasen offers a sturdier feel, making it easier for beginners or those who prefer a slightly firmer whisk.
This whisk is machine-made, offering consistency and accessibility for matcha drinkers at any level. For those seeking a more traditional, artisan-crafted experience, we also offer a Rikyu-style chasen made in Japan using lighter, aged bamboo.
