A Chasen is a traditional bamboo whisk specifically designed for matcha preparation.

Unlike a standard kitchen whisk, its numerous fine and flexible bamboo struts allow you to whisk the matcha quickly through the water. This helps break up lumps and creates the smooth, creamy texture and fine foam associated with traditionally prepared matcha.

The Health Bar Chasen has 80 finely crafted struts to create an even, airy foam.

How to Use

Before each use, place the lower section of the Chasen in warm water for approximately 1 minute. This helps soften the bamboo and make the struts more flexible.

Add your matcha powder and water to a matcha bowl (Chawan), then move the Chasen quickly through the water using a W or Z-shaped motion rather than stirring in circles.

Continue whisking until the matcha is smooth and a fine layer of foam has formed.

How to Clean & Care for Your Chasen

After use, rinse your matcha whisk using warm water only. Do not use washing-up liquid or other cleaning products.

Gently shake off excess water and allow the Chasen to dry with its struts facing downwards.

A dedicated Chasen Yasume or matcha whisk holder can also be used to help the whisk maintain its shape as it dries.
