If you do not sift Matcha in advance, it tends to get lumpy either when you drink Matcha or when you make Matcha sweets. Now it is broadly known that sifting is an essential process.

What makes this Chakoshi extraordinary is how fast and thoroughly you can sift Matcha. A special surface treatment creates countless bumps on the metal surface, and that makes it possible for us to sift Matcha twice as fast as other sifters. This special tool reduces the surface tension of the water, making it harder for the powder to adhere to the metal surface, so that it prevents Matcha you are preparing from being mixed with old Matcha left on the Chakoshi.

This container is made in TSUBAME City, NIIGATA Prefecture, which is well known for cutlery, hardware, and tableware production. The production of copperware flourished as high-quality copper began to be mined in the vicinity in the end of 17th century. Now it is one of the world's leading metalworking towns. Today, the city accounts for 95% of Japan's total tableware production and is one of the largest producers of kitchen utensils, both for home and commercial use in Japan.

The ultimate goal of this product is “the tea strainer you'll want to display,” which is to stand out in both functionality and design. The manufacturer created this Chakoshi for café owners who need to prepare Matcha as fast as possible without leaving any lumpy texture.

In terms of the design, how the handle is curved is also a point of pride for the manufacturer. Their goal was to make the handle perfectly fit in our palm but also keep it looking sophisticated and soft. The color, pink gold adds a fine aesthetic to this simple tool, transforming this Chakoshi into a favorite piece of art. It is an alloy of copper and gold, and develops a deep copper patina with each use. This special tea strainer elevates your mood, whether for a special tea ceremony or your daily matcha ritual. To match its original aesthetic, it features a matte finish. This preserves its Japanese-inspired charm while creating a tea strainer with a touch of elegance.
