How is the Matcha Measuring Spoon - Chashaku made?

The "Chashaku" matcha measuring spoon is handcrafted , often from bamboo , a lightweight , durable and environmentally friendly material. Here are the main manufacturing steps:

  1. Bamboo Selection : The process begins with selecting premium quality bamboo, cut at the correct maturity to ensure strength and flexibility.
  2. Cutting : A thin strip of bamboo is cut, usually by hand, to obtain the characteristic elongated shape of the Chashaku.
  3. Heat shaping : The bamboo is then heated with steam or directly over a flame to become more pliable. Once softened, it is gently bent by hand to give the curved shape of the spoon, designed to precisely measure the matcha powder.
  4. Polishing : After obtaining the final shape, the Chashaku is polished by hand to smooth its surface and remove roughness. This step ensures a silky finish that is pleasant to use.
  5. Drying and Finishing : Finally, the Chashaku is dried and inspected to ensure it is ready for use. No varnish or chemicals are used, as bamboo is naturally strong and tea-friendly.

This artisanal manufacturing method highlights the simplicity and purity of the materials, in harmony with the traditional spirit of the tea ceremony.

How to maintain the Matcha Spoon - Chashaku?

To properly maintain the "Chashaku" matcha measuring spoon, it is important to follow a few simple tips to preserve its quality and longevity , because it is made of bamboo, a natural material. Here are the maintenance steps:

  1. Dry Cleaning : After each use, gently wipe the Chashaku with a dry cloth or soft towel to remove any matcha residue. Avoid washing with water, as bamboo can absorb moisture.
  2. Avoid water : If you absolutely must clean it with water (for example in case of a stain), use a slightly damp cloth, but do not immerse the Chashaku in water. Prolonged exposure to moisture could damage it.
  3. Air Dry : If the Chashaku is damp after cleaning, allow it to air dry in a dry place. Make sure it is completely dry before storing.
  4. Avoid heat sources : Do not leave the Chashaku near heat sources, such as a radiator or in direct sunlight, as this may cause it to warp or crack.
  5. Storage : Store it in a clean, dry place, preferably away from dust and moisture. You can store it with your other tea accessories in a tea box or drawer.

By following these tips, your bamboo measuring spoon will retain its shape and effectiveness for a long time, while remaining faithful to Japanese tradition .

Recipe and preparation of Traditional Matcha

The preparation of a Traditional Matcha follows precise steps, respecting the ancestral Japanese art of the tea ceremony.

Ingredients and materials:

- Large bowl for whisking matcha
- Bamboo whisk (chasen)-
- Bamboo measuring spoon (chashaku)
- Hot water (simmering, between 70°C and 80°C)
- Matcha Premium Ceremony

Preparation steps:

1. Heat the bowl (optional but recommended)
Before you begin, pour hot water into the matcha bowl to warm it up. This helps maintain the right temperature of the tea. Pour out the water and dry the bowl with a clean cloth.

2. Measure the matcha
Use about 1-2 chashaku scoops (or 1 teaspoon) of matcha powder. You can sift the powder before adding it to the bowl for an even smoother mixture.

3. Add hot water
Add about 60 to 80 ml of hot water (between 70°C and 80°C) to the bowl. The amount of water can vary depending on the desired thickness of the tea:

Usucha (light matcha): 1 to 2 chashaku spoons or 1 teaspoon of matcha for 60-80 ml of water.
Koicha (thick matcha): More powder (2-3 teaspoons) with less water (40-50 ml).

4. Whisk the matcha
Use the bamboo whisk (chasen) to mix the powder and water. Hold the whisk with a light hand and start whisking vigorously, forming an "M" or "W" shape with your movement. Continue until you get a fine, homogeneous foam on the surface.

Usucha : The mixture should have a light texture, with a thin layer of foam.
Koicha : No foam, but a thicker, almost creamy texture.

5. Taste
Once the matcha is well whisked, it is ready to be consumed. Hold the bowl with both hands and savor slowly in several sips.

Additional tips:
Use good quality water so that the taste of the matcha is not altered.
Water temperature is essential: water that is too hot can make the matcha bitter.
Take the time to whisk well to obtain a perfect texture, especially if you want a very frothy usucha.

This simple, yet precise ritual allows you to get the most out of the aromas and benefits of matcha.
