White Bamboo Matcha Whisk Japanese traditional craftsman, Iki Ikeda handmade Chasen made in japan

This elegant white bamboo chasen is handcrafted by **Iki Ikeda**, an eighth-generation master artisan in the Takayama chasen tradition.

Made from naturally dried white bamboo (no bleaching), cultivated, harvested, and shaped entirely by hand over several years.

The fine tines (67‑80 strands) create a luxurious, frothy matcha with authentic tea ceremony texture.

Based in Kyoto, the Ikeda family continues the centuries-old tradition of Takayama-style chasen making.

Each piece is made from select bamboo seeds planted without chemicals, dried naturally, and carved by hand—a process that takes several years to complete. :contentReference

• After use, rinse with water and remove matcha particles gently.
• Do not use detergent. Let dry naturally in a whisk stand (chasen‑tate) to maintain shape. 
• Proper storage extends the life and performance of the whisk.

Note: Experts emphasize that traditional bamboo whisks are essential for achieving the perfect froth and texture in matcha—metal whisks or electric frothers can't replicate the same quality.
