MATCHAWAN KIRI
Matchawan Kiri, white with navy accents and delicate, irregular dots, originates from the heart of Gifu Prefecture. The inspiration for the creation of this tiny work of art comes from traditional Japanese ceramics and nature. The word “kiri” means mist. However, unlike the mist over tea fields, kiri is much denser and mysterious, filled with wandering mythical creatures. It is the place of thriller stories and the extraordinary adventures of matcha-fueled wanderers who traverse one of Gokaido’s famous trails. Which trail will you embark on with our matcha-filled bowl?

The traditional way to prepare matcha comes from the Japanese Tea Ceremony. It involves using a matcha bowl, a bamboo whisk- chasen and a bamboo spoon- chashaku. Place 2 chashaku spoons of matcha (1,5g) in a matcha bowl and pour 100ml of hot water (80 °C). Chasen in hand, vigorously whisk your matcha from the wrist in m-shaped, not circular, motion. In about 20 seconds your bowl should be filled with a perfect jade-green foam. You can add more water now if you like your matcha to be less strong. |
