Chikumeido Urasenke Shin Kazuho Matcha Whisk by Kubo Sabun

Bring the quiet rhythm of Japanese tea practice into each bowl. Kubo Sabun of Chikumeido crafts this Urasenke Shin Kazuho chasen (真数穂) in Takayama, Nara, the historic home of Takayama chasen.

Use it for both koicha and usucha. Its balanced form works for kneading thick tea and whisking a lighter bowl. Chikumeido describes Sabun’s Shin Kazuho as easy to use and long-lasting. Tea teachers across Japan also use this style.
