A matcha whisk unlike any other. Crafted from rare purple bamboo, this 100-prong chasen produces a rich, fine-textured foam that elevates every bowl of matcha — whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or just starting your home matcha ritual. The deep, naturally dark hue of the bamboo gives it a striking, exclusive look that stands apart from standard whisks.
With 100 prongs, it sits in the sweet spot for foam fineness and ease of use — fine enough for a silky, creamy result, forgiving enough for beginners. Crafted by Cesa Beams, a Tokyo-based kitchenware brand born in Kappabashi Dogukai, the heart of Japan’s professional culinary district. Each whisk is individually finished and inspected before shipment.
Specifications
Material: Purple bamboo (natural) *note on color: Despite the name, purple bamboo does not appear purple — it has a naturally deep brown-black tone, which is what makes it rare and visually distinctive. The name refers to the bamboo variety, not its color.
Prong count: 100 (百本立)
Use: Chasen for matcha preparation
Care
After use, rinse with water and shake off excess moisture thoroughly.
Store in a well-ventilated area. Do not soak in water — prolonged exposure may cause mold or warping.
Using a chasen stand will help the whisk retain its shape over time.
Minor cracking or warping may occur as the bamboo dries; this is a natural characteristic of the material.
