Collection: Suikouen - Takayama Chasen

Discover the artistry of the Takayama Chasen, a traditional Japanese bamboo whisk with a 500-year history. Handcrafted by master artisan Toshiyuki Hirata of Suikouen (翠宏園), each whisk is a testament to generations of skill passed down through secret family techniques.

LunaMatcha offers three unique Hirata Chasen:

  • Kazuho (70 Prongs): The classic, all-purpose whisk for everyday matcha.

  • 80 Prongs: A versatile option for a balance of froth and control.

  • 100 Prongs: Create the most luxurious, velvety-smooth matcha.

Choosing Your Chasen:

  • Fewer Prongs: Ideal for koicha (thick tea).

  • More Prongs: Perfect for usucha (thin tea), the most common style of matcha.

New to matcha? We recommend the 80-prong or Kazuho whisk for its ease of use and consistent results.

Experience the difference a handcrafted Takayama Chasen makes. Each whisk is a work of art, designed to unlock the full flavor and potential of your matcha.
