Protect your bamboo matcha whisk and keep it in perfect shape with this ceramic holder (kusenaoshi). After each use, place your damp whisk over the dome to air-dry — preserving the delicate prongs and extending the life of your chasen significantly. Why You Need One Bamboo matcha whisks are delicate. Without proper drying, the prongs bend inward, lose their shape, and break prematurely. This ceramic holder keeps the prongs fanned out in their natural curve while they dry, so your whisk performs like new every time. Details Material: Food-safe ceramic Design: Dome-shaped to fit snugly inside chasen prongs Care: Hand wash with warm water Compact: Takes minimal counter space How to Use After whisking your matcha, rinse the chasen under warm water. While still damp, place it upside-down over the ceramic dome. Allow to air-dry completely before storing. Build Your Matcha Set Pairs with our Matcha Tea Whisk, Matcha Tea Spoon, and Matcha Bowl for the complete ceremonial setup.
