Collection: Matcha Accessories

Three things are enough to prepare matcha properly: powder, water, and something to whisk with. In practice that means a chasen, a bowl, and optionally a strainer. This is the minimum that allows you to prepare matcha the traditional way — smooth, with a fine, creamy foam on top. Everything beyond that is a matter of comfort and personal preference.

A chasen is a bamboo matcha whisk, hand-crafted from a single piece of bamboo. Its job is straightforward: combine powder and water without lumps, and produce a fine, dense foam on the surface. Matcha whisked with a chasen has a completely different texture from matcha stirred with a spoon or frothed with an electric frother — smoother, creamier, and more evenly aerated.

Our range includes chasen in light and dark bamboo, as well as the Chasen Long — with an extended handle, more comfortable when working with a tall glass or mug. After each use, rinse the chasen under warm water and rest it on a holder — the tines will keep their shape and the whisk will last significantly longer.

A matchawan is the traditional bowl for preparing and drinking matcha. The wider base and gently flared rim are not just aesthetic choices — the shape allows the chasen to move freely and produces better foam. Our range includes ceramic bowls in several distinct characters: Matchawan Gyoku in deep green, Matchawan Botan in pink ceramic with a pouring spout, Matchawan Taro in an irregular form, and Matchawan Sumomo — each hand-made, each with its own character.

Matcha powder clumps easily, especially when stored in a humid environment. Sifting through a fine strainer before adding water takes a few seconds — the effect is immediate: the powder dissolves evenly, the foam is more uniform, the flavour cleaner. One of those accessories that makes a difference every day.

A modern alternative to the traditional matchawan — made from borosilicate glass, with a practical spout for easy pouring. It lets you observe the colour and consistency of the matcha as you prepare it. Dishwasher safe, which makes daily ritual that much easier.

If you are starting from scratch, the simplest option is one of our starter kits — matcha and accessories selected together, ready to use immediately. If you already have matcha and are looking for a specific tool, every piece is available individually here.
