Why Choose a Handmade Chashaku from Takayama?
When it comes to traditional tea tools, origin and craftsmanship matter. While machine-made chashaku from China or elsewhere are widely available and affordable, they often lack the finesse and heritage behind a handmade piece from Japan.

Here’s why this one stands apart:
✅ Made by Suikaen, one of the last 16 families in Takayama preserving a 500-year-old craft lineage
✅ Individually hand-shaped from seasoned Japanese bamboo, not machine-cut or mass-produced
✅ Authentic design and curve to deliver just the right amount of matcha—roughly 1 gram per scoop
✅ Natural finish, no artificial dyes or coatings
✅ Sustainable, small-batch production that honors traditional Japanese tea ceremony tools
A Tool That Adds Meaning to Your Tea Ritual
The chashaku may be small, but it carries weight. In the Japanese tea ceremony, it’s not just a scoop—it’s a symbol of precision, grace, and intention. Using a handmade scoop connects you to the spirit of tea preparation, turning a simple act into something quietly meaningful.
Whether you're preparing usucha or just enjoying a daily matcha, this chashaku brings a sense of artistry to the experience.
