$82.00
Our whisks are handcrafted in Takayama, Nara Prefecture, the small village where Japanese whisk-making began over 500 years ago. The whisk's craftsmanship has officially been recognized by Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry as a Certified Traditional Craft.
Each whisk is entirely shaped and woven by hand from a single piece of natural bamboo, ensuring no glue, seams, or chemical additives are used. The traditional 100-prong design feels light in your hand and effortlessly creates smooth, frothy matcha, Perfect for beginners and seasoned matcha lovers.
