CHASHAKU Bamboo Tea Scoop

CHASHAKU (茶杓) is a utensil that used during the tea ceremony to measure and transfer matcha powder. A single piece of bamboo is carved into a narrow, curved form with a slightly flattened scoop at one end. It is designed to scoop precise amounts of matcha powder from a tea container (natsume) into a tea bowl (chawan). Its shape allows for easy handling and accurate transfer of matcha powder without spilling.

Handmade by Takemeido Sabun, the 24th generation chasen maker who has carried on the family's 500 year old tradition in Takayama, Nara Prefecture - the birthplace of chasen making with a long history dating back to the 1500s.
