Heir of the Chikumeido Sabun whisk-making family business, Kubo Sabun represents the 24th generation of chasen craftsmen in his family. Kubo Sabun was recognised as a traditional master craftsman by the Minister of International Trade and Industry of Japan in 1987, and received praise from the Minister in 1999. He was awarded the imperial "Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Rosette" in 2015. Kubo Sabun is also one of the only 16 or so remaining chasen masters in Japan.These whisks are made from locally grown bamboo in the small village of Takayama, famed as the only chasen making village in Japan.
Unlike massproduced matcha whisks, these chasen are entirely handmade, without the use of machines or chemicals to expedite the bamboo growing, drying, or shaping processes, requiring immense time and skill to craft. As such, Takayama chasen have finer, more flexible tines and a greater attention to detail, which not only makes them more beautiful, but also easier and more enjoyable to use and more durable in the long run.
Before First Use
Before using for the first time, gently soak only the prongs in hot water. This softens the bamboo and helps prevent breakage. Avoid soaking the handle.
Care & Precautions
- Use gently—pressing firmly against the bottom of the tea bowl may cause the prongs to snap.
- Do not place in a dishwasher.
- After use, rinse with water and allow to dry completely before storing.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from humidity, extreme dryness, heat, and direct sunlight.
