Why 120 Prongs?
The 120-prong chasen is different from the 100 or 80 prong versions in several key ways:
Finer Froth: With more prongs, the 120-prong chasen produces an extra smooth, fine froth with smaller bubbles, making it perfect for high-quality, premium matcha. This is especially suited for those who prefer a velvety texture with minimal graininess.
Better for Ceremonial Matcha: The extra prongs allow for a more delicate whisking process, which is ideal for ceremonial and premium ceremonial grade matcha. In contrast, a 100 or 80-prong chasen might produce a coarser froth, better suited for matcha lattes or culinary matcha.
Subtle Flavour Integration: The additional prongs also help integrate the matcha more smoothly, creating a balanced flavour without overpowering bitterness or grainy texture.
Bamboo Whisk in Traditional Matcha Preparation
In traditional Japanese tea ceremonies, the chasen plays a pivotal role in the preparation of matcha, blending the powder with hot water in a matcha bowl to create a rich, frothy tea. This ritual not only enhances the flavour but also enriches the overall experience of enjoying matcha. Our set beautifully combines functionality with grace, embodying the art of traditional Japanese tea preparation and elevating your matcha ritual to new heights.
