MATCHAWAN TARO
The Taro Matchawan is a true masterpiece of ceramics and part of the tea tradition known as “chado.” Its color palette reminds us of the ocean depths, hence the name inspired by a Japanese legend. The tale tells the story of a young fisherman named Tarō, who one day saw children tormenting a small turtle while fishing. Tarō saved the turtle and released it back into the sea. The next day, a giant turtle, possibly a thousand years old, appeared before him draped in seaweed. The turtle revealed that the one he saved was Oto-hime, the daughter of the Sea Emperor, who wished to meet him to express his gratitude. Using magic, the turtle gave Tarō a pair of gills and guided him to a magnificent palace at the bottom of the sea.

MATCHA BAMBOO WHISK CHASEN
Traditional bamboo whisk or “chasen” is an indispensable tool of the Japanese matcha tea ceremony. The fine, handmade prongs are carved out in a single piece of bamboo. When using a chasen to whisk matcha it is best to keep a loose and relaxed wrist and make rapid zigzag motions in the shape of letter “W” or “M” – this helps to give matcha the ideal frothy texture.
WHISK HOLDER NAOSHI
The traditional matcha whisk holder is not only a beautiful element of the traditional Japanese matcha tea set. It is a very practical tool that helps your chasen dry faster and maintain its shape and durability.
Material: porcelain. Size: 7cm (height) x 6cm (diameter). Color: Onyx black. Dishwasher safe.
MATCHA BAMBOO SPOON CHASHAKU
Chashaku is the traditional Japanese spoon for serving matcha and an integral part of the matcha tea ceremony. The curved portion of the spoon is used to scoop a small portion of tea and place in a bowl (matchawan). The mixture is then whisked to uniform consistency using a bamboo whisk (chasen). The amount of matcha served depends on individual preference. The thin tea or “usucha” is prepared with one or two chashaku of matcha and approximately 100ml of water.
Material: Bamboo. Length: 18cm. Not dishwasher safe.
