Our FUROSHIKI Gift Starter Set includes Matcha Superior, BEEDORO Matcha Bowl, Bamboo Whisk, Matcha Spoon, and Hand Sifter. It is the perfect gift for anyone who wants to start enjoying Matcha. They are carefully wrapped with FUROSHIKI Japanese traditional wrapping fabric.
The FUROSHIKI wrapping fabric is of course reusable and perfect for wrapping anything from a gift to a Bento lunch box. It can also be used as a decorative wall hanging, tablecloth, scarf, and so on. It depends on your idea. The FUROSHIKI, made of high-quality cotton, is 27.56 inches (70cm) square. It is made in Kyoto, Japan.
The FUROSHIKI features a MIZUHIKI motif: an elegant, traditional Japanese decorative cord, which is perfect for gift-giving. MIZUHIKI is made by twisting strips of washi paper into cords and hardening them with glue. Traditionally used to tie gift packages, it symbolizes not only a seal of sincerity and protection against misfortune but also the beautiful idea of connecting people.
We recommend that you get the bamboo whisk wet just before you use it. The bamboo whisk is susceptible to dry conditions. If you would like to add other important tea ware, we suggest our Whisk Keeper (Kusenaoshi) and Matcha Sifter or Hand Sifter. It is useful though not essential. Sifting Matcha before preparation is an important step to avoid lumps and create a rich flavor.
With this set, you have everything essential to correctly prepare Matcha, so you can enjoy an authentic and flavorful bowl of Matcha!
(Please note that each Matcha Bowl is unique due to the techniques employed by the artisan. There are natural variations in each piece.)
