Hokuwaen Hyakuhondate 100-Prong Takayama Chasen – Handcrafted Japanese Bamboo Matcha Whisk

The Hokuwaen Hyakuhondate 100-Prong Takayama Chasen is an authentic Japanese bamboo matcha whisk handcrafted in Takayama, Ikoma City, Nara Prefecture, the historic birthplace of Japan's world-renowned bamboo tea whisk tradition.

Made by master craftsman Kubo Tameo of the esteemed Hokuwaen workshop, each whisk is meticulously hand-carved from a single piece of carefully selected natural bamboo using traditional techniques that have been perfected and preserved for generations. Recognized as a Traditional Craft Product designated by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), this chasen exemplifies the highest standards of Japanese craftsmanship and cultural heritage.

The Hyakuhondate (100-Prong) design features approximately one hundred finely carved tines, allowing it to produce exceptionally smooth, creamy matcha with abundant, delicate microfoam. Its dense tine configuration creates a refined texture while evenly suspending matcha powder, making it an excellent choice for ceremonial-grade matcha, formal tea ceremonies, and everyday preparation.

Packaged in a durable clear protective case, this whisk is beautifully presented while helping preserve the delicate bamboo tines during storage and transport.
