The Louvins Usucha Matcha Whisk – 120 prongs is the pinnacle of artisanal craftsmanship applied to the matcha ritual. Designed for connoisseurs and purists, this matcha whisk is handcrafted from natural golden bamboo and features 120 ultra-fine prongs that allow for optimal aeration and a smooth, creamy foam.

A High-Precision Tool for Foamy Matcha

In preparing Usucha—the lighter and more fluid version of matcha—the whisk plays a central role. The more prongs it has, the finer and more stable the resulting foam. With 120 delicately carved strands, this Chasen offers rapid emulsification and a balanced grip, ideal for those seeking perfect texture in every cup.

Craftsmanship Features

• Prongs: 120 ultra-fine prongs for smooth and silky foam.
• Material: Natural, untreated golden bamboo.
• Crafting: 100% handmade using traditional Japanese techniques.
• Dimensions: Approx. 11 cm in height.
• Use: For preparing Usucha matcha (light and foamy).

Usage Tips

Before use, soak the prongs briefly in warm water to soften them. Add hot water (max 80°C) to your sifted matcha, and whisk quickly in a “W” or zigzag motion until you get a fine, even, and shiny foam. The 120-prong design allows for efficient, controlled whisking with minimal effort.

Care & Storage

Rinse gently with clean water after each use, without soap. Let it air dry naturally on a whisk holder (kusenaoshi) to maintain its shape and ensure durability. Store in a dry, cool place, away from moisture and direct heat.
