Measure the correct amount of Matcha every time with this traditional natural bamboo measuring spoon, known in Japan as CHASHAKU.
GOMA means sesame in Japanese. GOMADAKE is a traditional Japanese material prized in craftwork and architecture for its unique, speckled pattern resembling black sesame seeds. This distinct pattern is typically produced through a specialized cultivation method where farmers cut the tops off living bamboo stalks and allow the rooted lower portion to slowly dry and air-cure directly in the grove, forming fine dark spots across its surface. Because every stalk features a unique design, GOMADAKE is widely used to add rustic elegance to tea ceremony utensils.
Naturally cultivated, each piece of GOMADAKE bamboo features a distinct pattern and subtle surface character, ensuring your Chashaku is truly one of a kind. It brings a unique, quiet presence to your tea practice. Considering its fine quality and traditional provenance, this tea scoop is offered at an exceptional value.
2 Chashaku of Matcha = 1.5 to 2 g.
For Usucha, thin tea, use 2 Chashaku of Matcha. For Koicha, thick tea, use 3 to 4.
Made in Japan.
