{"product_id":"matcha-set","title":"Matcha Set 'Chasen'","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMatcha set with a spouted bowl, bamboo whisk, stand and scoop, in black or white\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverything you need to whisk a bowl of matcha, in one colour. This set is a stoneware bowl with a small pouring lip at the rim, a bamboo whisk with its tines split fine and curled, a stoneware stand the whisk rests on upside down so the tines keep their curl, and a bamboo scoop for the powder, in a matte black glaze or a speckled white. The photographs show both.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is the set for making matcha at home without a tea master, and the pouring lip is the modern touch: it lets the tea go into a cup or a latte.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name, Chasen, is the bamboo whisk, the one tool a matcha set cannot do without, and the set is named for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bowl is a glazed stoneware, wide and low with a lip, the stand a small glazed cone, and the whisk and the scoop are bamboo, the whisk cut from a single piece into eighty or so tines and the scoop bent at the tip over heat. The black set is matte throughout; the white is a speckled glaze on the stoneware and pale bamboo. Both bowls are wide enough to whisk in without splashing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse it every morning: a scoop and a half of powder in the bowl, a splash of water just off the boil, and whisk in a fast zigzag until the surface foams, then drink from the bowl or pour from the lip. Rest the whisk on its stand to dry, tines down, and it lasts a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stand is the detail: a small cone the whisk sits over after washing, which keeps the tines curled outward instead of collapsing, and it is the piece most home sets leave out. The lip on the bowl is the other, and it is not traditional, and it is useful.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom across a table it is a bowl, a whisk and a cone in one colour. From close the whisk shows its tines, the bowl its lip, and the glaze its matte or its speckle. It is the set for a person who drinks matcha and wants to make it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWash the bowl and the stand by hand; rinse the whisk in warm water only, no soap, and dry it on the stand. The scoop is wiped, not washed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne size. The bowl holds a single serving with room to whisk; the whisk and the scoop are the standard length.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"YONAKU","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":59207684784476,"sku":"14:200661016#Black","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":59207684817244,"sku":"14:200006151#White","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1055\/3386\/6332\/files\/matcha-set-chasen-1.jpg?v=1790586294","url":"https:\/\/yonaku.com\/products\/matcha-set","provider":"YONAKU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
