Chikumeidō Hachijuppondate 80-Prong Takayama Chasen – Handcrafted Japanese Bamboo Matcha Whisk

The Chikumeidō Hachijuppondate 80-Prong Takayama Chasen is an authentic Japanese bamboo matcha whisk handcrafted in Takayama, Ikoma City, Nara Prefecture—the birthplace of Japan's celebrated bamboo tea whisk tradition.

Created by Certified Traditional Craftsman Kubo Sabun, each whisk is meticulously hand-carved from a single piece of carefully selected natural bamboo using techniques that have been preserved and refined for generations. Recognized as a Traditional Craft Product of Japan, this chasen represents the exceptional artistry and heritage of Takayama's master craftsmen.

The Hachijuppondate (80-Prong) design features approximately eighty finely cut tines, offering an ideal balance of flexibility and durability. It efficiently blends ceremonial-grade matcha into a smooth, creamy consistency with rich microfoam while enhancing the tea's natural aroma and flavor. Suitable for both traditional Japanese tea ceremonies and everyday matcha preparation, it provides excellent performance for beginners and experienced tea practitioners alike.

Packaged in a protective clear storage case, it helps preserve the delicate bamboo tines while offering an elegant presentation for storage or gifting.
