The Sumomo Matchawan is the latest in our collection of matcha bowls, one of the key elements of the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. Its distinctive shape, with low walls and wide bottom, allows for easy whisking and creating a perfect froth known as the “jasper mousse”. The bowl’s name is inspired by the Japanese plum, sumomo. According to a Japanese legend, offering sumomo plums to the gods helped the famed warrior Minamoto Noriyoshi win a battle. In Japan, it’s believed that consuming Sumomo plums wards off evil spirits and illness.
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.
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.

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.
