The Kusama Matchawan is a unique bowl for drinking matcha that draws attention with its unconventional appearance. Its design, featuring irregular colorful dots, evokes the work of Japanese visual artist Yayoi Kusama. With her frequent use of the dots motif, Kusama is often called the “Princess of Polka Dots.” The Kusama bowl will appeal to art and design lovers and those who, like this matchawan, enjoy standing out.
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.
Watch how Hitomi Saito, cofounder of Moya Matcha, prepares perfect matcha.
