The bamboo scoop or chashaku is a traditional Japanese scoop crafted specifically for measuring matcha. Its unique, steam-bent curve perfectly portions the delicate powder without the static cling caused by metal spoons. It is the essential tool for measuring the ideal amount of matcha (about 1 gram per scoop). How to Use The Perfect Dose: One generous scoop naturally holds about 1 gram of powder. Use two scoops for traditional preparation. Preservation Instructions Wipe, Don’t Wash: Never rinse your scoop under water or put it in the dishwasher. Simply wipe it clean with a dry cloth or paper towel after each use. Keep Dry & Cool: Store your scoop in a dry place away from moisture. Keep it out of direct sunlight to prevent the bamboo from cracking over time.
