The Chashaku Japanese Bamboo Ladle is a traditional tool used for scooping and measuring matcha powder, ensuring you have the perfect amount for each cup. Handcrafted from natural bamboo, the Chashaku embodies the simplicity and elegance of Japanese tea culture, making it an essential tool for preparing authentic matcha.

Handcrafted from Natural Bamboo
Each Chashaku is made by hand using carefully selected bamboo, resulting in a tool that is both durable and lightweight. The smooth, curved design of the ladle is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional, allowing you to scoop matcha powder effortlessly without wasting or spilling. Its delicate construction ensures you can accurately measure small amounts of matcha, perfect for achieving the right balance of flavor in every serving.
Essential for Traditional Tea Ceremonies
The Chashaku is traditionally used in Japanese tea ceremonies (chanoyu), where precision and mindfulness are key elements. It helps scoop and transfer the perfect portion of matcha powder to the tea bowl (chawan) before whisking. By incorporating the Chashaku into your matcha ritual, you not only ensure the correct measurement but also embrace the meditative aspects of tea-making that have been practiced for centuries.
How to Use the Chashaku
The Chashaku is easy to use but adds a level of refinement to your matcha preparation:
- Measure the Matcha: Scoop 1-2 chashaku scoops (roughly 1/2 to 1 teaspoon) of matcha powder into your tea bowl. Adjust the quantity depending on whether you prefer a stronger or lighter tea.
- Combine with Water: Add a small amount of hot water (70-80°C) to the matcha powder and whisk using a Chasen bamboo whisk for a frothy, creamy consistency.
- Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your matcha immediately, savoring the rich flavor and smooth texture.
Eco-Friendly and Sustainable
Made entirely from natural bamboo, the Chashaku is an eco-conscious and sustainable choice for matcha preparation. Bamboo is a fast-growing, renewable resource that requires no pesticides, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic materials. This tool is not only beautiful but also supports a low-impact, sustainable lifestyle.
