INOUMI CHASEN (WHISK)

The INOUMI Chasen is a traditional bamboo matcha whisk designed to elevate your daily preparation ritual. Carefully carved from a single piece of mature purple bamboo, each whisk is shaped by hand into delicate, flexible tines that help transform fine matcha powder into a smooth, frothy foam. The extended handle provides comfort and stability, giving you better control whether you are new to matcha or refining an established practice. With a few steady zig-zag motions in warm water, matcha powder disperses evenly, creating a soft, vibrant texture without clumping.

Every Chasen is supplied with a minimalist bamboo stand to help maintain the whisk’s natural bloom, support airflow, and extend the life of the tines between uses. Functional yet quietly elegant, it sits beautifully beside any INOUMI blend preparation.

While an electric whisk is convenient, using the INOUMI bamboo whisk invites you to slow down, pause and truly experience your blend, turning preparation into a small, mindful moment in your day.

How to care for your chasen

How to care for your long handled bamboo chasen

To keep your long handled bamboo chasen in good condition, rinse it in warm water immediately after use to remove blend residue. Avoid using soap, as it can affect the natural bamboo fibres.

Gently shake off excess water and allow the whisk to air dry whisk-side up on a chasen stand. This helps maintain the shape and flexibility of the tines.

Store your chasen in a dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent cracking or mould. With proper care, your chasen will help create smooth, fine foam for many servings.
