Tea utensils, tea ceremony tools, tea whisk, 100-piece tea whisk, made in Japan, made by Takayama, Nara, made by Yasaburo Tanimura or Takeeido + tea whisk repair gift set, 2-piece set

Hello, this is Imaya Shizukaen.
Today we will be introducing you to a domestically produced Nara Takayama product: a 100-piece tea whisk.
Please take a look.

※If your matcha doesn't stand up properly (it doesn't mix), does this happen?
・The tea whisk has shriveled.
・The number of tea whisks is small. ? If you always put it in the straightener after use, it will keep the shape it was when you bought it.
Also, by using a 100-stranded whisk, the tea will stand up nicely even if you shake the whisk less frequently.
This time, we have included a set that includes a 100-strand product and a curl straightener.


[Takayama tea whisk from Nara]
・The beginning of the tea ceremony: When Murata Juko of Nara's Shomyoji Temple came up with the idea of ​​a tea ceremony in which tea leaves were ground into powder and drunk, he asked the second son of the lord of Takayama Castle, Nyudo Sosuke, to invent a tea whisk to be used for this, and the result was the current "Takayama tea whisk."
Takayama is located at the northernmost tip of Ikoma City, Nara Prefecture, and is the birthplace of Chasen, a tradition that continues to this day.

[Differences between domestically produced and foreign-made tea whisks]
- For domestic products, we use domestically grown hachiku bamboo, which is harvested in the winter, left to rest for over a year, and then dried and made into products.
Products made overseas may contain preservatives and mold inhibitors because they are not dried.
-There are also differences in manufacturing methods.
For Japanese-made chasen, the process of thinning the tip of the whisk is done by craftsmen one by one using a small knife, but in other countries, the process is done with a file.
Shaving with a file is easier and quicker, but it leaves fine scratches on the surface of the tip, making the tip more likely to break.

-----------------------------
Before Use
Soak one-third of the tip in lukewarm water for about 5 to 10 minutes, then repeat the same process each time you use it.
Using it while it is dry may cause the tip to break.
After use
Please store it in a tea whisk straightener and keep it in its original shape.
This dries the tip of the tea whisk, allowing it to drain water better and preventing the whisk from shrinking, making it easier to make matcha.
