Handling precautions

Handling precautions - Kurochiku Shin Chasen Kubo Sabun

UNBOXING
The whisk is glued to the paper box, when you take it out, some paper will likely stick to the bottom of the whisk. Let the whisk sit in tepid water for 5 minutes, and after that, you can easily remove the paper.

INITIATION:
Before first use, let it sit in hot water for a few minutes.
Let it soak in warm water before every use to protect the tines from breaking.

HOW TO WHISK MATCHA:
- Place the tea bowl on a non-slippery surface, and hold it on the side with your left hand (if right-handed).
- Hold the chasen close to the end of the handle. Your thumb should be aligned with the knot on it.
- Start moving the chasen in a "W" pattern, up and down, speeding up as much as possible until it is foamy enough.
- To create great foam, the temperature of the water is crucial: about 85 °C (185 °F) is the best.
- Attention! Always whisk close to the surface, and make sure not to rub the chasen to the bottom of the bowl because that might damage the tips of the tines.
- While whisking, keep your body relaxed, moving only your wrists.
- Finish the whisking with a clockwise spiral motion from the middle of the bowl to the sides. This motion is practical (gives the foam a beautiful finish) and also symbolic (it is the image of infinity).

CLEANING:
Rinse it carefully under running water. If needed, gently remove the remaining matcha stuck on the whisk. Do not soak the whisk in water.
Do not use dishwasher, dryer, or dish soap!

STORAGE:
Store it in a place with good ventilation and humidity not lower than 50%, preferably on a Kusenaoshi (whisk stand). If you don’t have a stand, keep it looking upwards. This way, the tines might “close up” and straighten out, but that can be fixed. Make it wet under running water and gently unfold the tines with your fingers. Never do this with a dry whisk as it would break.
Bamboo is a sensitive material. If the whisk is stored away in a too-warm or too-dry place, it might crack.

LIFESPAN:
The lifespan of a chasen depends on how it is handled and how frequently it is used. As soon as the tips of the tines start to break off, we recommend purchasing a new one.

Product as described and of really high quality. I chose this one because 64 strings version is suitable for both Matcha styles and this is exactly what I was looking for. I also ordered a Kusenaoshi and everything fits together perfectly, I'm very satisfied. I am already after my first use of this chasen, as I received a sample of Ogurayama Matcha with my order which also impressed me and perhaps I will choose it for my next order.

Attached another photo of this beautiful Chasen on a whisk stand + compared it to the Chinese knockoff that usually the only whisk you will ever see in EU tea stores. Compare the size, the look, and functionally and you will understand why it costs x3 times of the Chinese knockoff. It gives a totally different experience when using it! Also, if you ever buy the stand keep in mind that it fits this Chasen perfectly! The one on the photo is the standard size.

My first Japanese Chasen. I chose this one because 64 strings version is suitable for both Matcha styles. Whisking is easy, surprisingly pleasant (compared to the Chinese knockoff), strings are soft so be careful not to touch the surface while using. I like the overall design of this dark old bamboo and it’s unique antique patina.
