• Dimensions: 6"x3" / 15.5x7.5cm • Material: Stainless steel Tsubame Chakoshi matcha sifter blends simplicity, practicality, and elegance. Each piece showcases the skilled craftsmanship of artisans, with a dappled, hand-hammered tsuchime (槌目) surface that makes every sifter unique. Produced in Niigata Prefecture's Tsubame City (燕市), this tea sifter carries a rich history of craft tools dating back to the Edo Period, spanning roughly 400 years. Initially known for crafting hand-forged nails during the Edo period, the region evolved its metalworking expertise into a wide range of precision kitchenware and teaware. In the heart of Tsubame City, skilled artisans hand-hammer each Tsubame Chakoshi, resulting in a visually appealing texture, making it more than just a matcha sifter – it's a symbol of the region's commitment to quality and excellence. Sifting your ceremonial matcha with this finely crafted tool ensures a smooth and lump-free matcha powder, while its elegance adds a touch of refinement to the art of matcha preparation.
