I started collecting the Hana Kessho glazed items after I fell in love with the Hana Kessho Gin Fuji matcha bowl and how beautiful the glazing is. When I saw this flat bowl I fell in love with it, however, I wasn't sure about the color though. To me, it seemed like it w...(more)

This bowl is indescribable. I agree that it is much lovelier in person. It’s hard to believe this is porcelain because in the hand it feels so smooth and iridescent. It looks like a huge gemstone was carved into a bowl. The color is very alluring: Depending on the light...(more)

This is an absolutely beautiful matcha bowl that coordinates very well with Hana Mishima (also by Tohrako Morisato). At first I didn’t think this bowl would be ‘different enough’ to add to my collection, but I was wrong. As you can see, compared to Hana Mishima, the two...(more)

I’ve been enjoying this Hohin set for a while now. When I first got it I had to learn to use it. Hold it in one hand, press down on the lid, and pour. Pouring from a Hohin is a little tricky, since the design encourages a fast flow, so trying to pour slowly is a challen...(more)

I'm really glad that there was this tasting option available with smaller bags of tea to 'try out'. It gave me the opportunity to taste Gyokuro and Sencha Fukamushi (I was already familiar with Sencha). My absolute favorite is the Sencha Fukamushi. It is sweet but at th...(more)

At first I hesitated at buying these but I'm glad I did. They are really well made and super adorable. A lot of work went into making these and there is a history behind the work. The vertical scraping all around is not only visually appealing but also gives a place for...(more)

This makes a very nice gift (though I bought it for myself). It has almost everything you need to make a bowl of matcha all wrapped up in a very lovely Furoshiki cloth. I love the HYO SETSU HAKU Multi-cup, use it for drinking tea and can also be used for matcha (thou...(more)

This is a very nice Chashaku made of smoked wood. It feels smooth to the touch and has a very nice coloring. Functions well.

This is a very nice matcha sifter. I was surprised by the size, it's very large. Since it is not washable I would be cautious about storing matcha in it for fear of it sticking to the sides (too much might be lost to the static in the container). The container is very l...(more)

I have both the orange matcha sifter and this hand sifter (Chakoshi) and after using this simple hand sifter for a month now, I have to say that I prefer this one over the orange matcha sifter (which is more elaborate) for several reasons: 1. The mesh in the hand sif...(more)
