Chashaku

The chashaku (茶杓) is the slender bamboo scoop used to measure matcha from tin to bowl — a small, quiet gesture that marks the true beginning of the ceremony. Hand-carved from a single piece of bamboo, its gentle curve is designed to lift just the right amount of matcha with precision and grace.

Simple as it looks, the chashaku carries centuries of tradition: in formal tea ceremony, even the way it's held, wiped, and set down follows deliberate etiquette. Pair with your chasen (whisk) and chawan (bowl) for the complete ceremonial set.

Handcrafted bamboo. Traditional Japanese design. Essential for precise, ceremonial matcha measuring.
