Chashaku

Chashaku is a traditional Japanese utensil used to scoop and measure matcha. This beautiful piece is crafted from henon bamboo that had its color stripped through a traditional, centuries-old technique in which the bamboo is boiled to remove all oil in the plant, then dried and aged for 2-3 years. During this time the green color fades into blonde. Hand wash your chashaku with water only and dry immediately after rinsing to avoid cracking of the wood. Length: 18.5cm
