Bamboo whisk, Chasen for Japanese Tea Ceremony

This whisk is made of bamboo and made by hand completely, used to whisk matcha, powdered green tea. There are many types of whisk, including 60, 80, 100, 120 blades... 

This 120 blades whisk makes it easier to make matcha than 60 blades one, and thick green tea is made by a whisk with fewer blades, thin green tea is prepared by one having more blades. 

Do you know this Traditional Japanese Sweets? "Shoro" truffles are a rounded mushroom that grow beneath black pine trees. This rounded Traditional Japanese Sweet gets its name from the shape and color.
