[Handling Instructions]: 1. When first using a new chasen, wash it in a tub or bowl at about 80°C, then blanch it in hot water (chasen-doshi). 2. After use, shake it out with water, then dry thoroughly in a well-ventilated place out of direct sunlight, using a chasen repair tool, etc., before storing it in a cool, dark place with little change in temperature or humidity. Bamboo can split or crack due to drying or sudden temperature changes. 3. Do not use in a dishwasher or with dish detergent.
Material: This white bamboo tea whisk is made from thin bamboo and is an essential tool for making matcha. Because it is made from natural bamboo, it is safe for beginners and intermediate tea brewers.
Product Description: The standard number of bristles on a chasen is around 70, while regular chasen are around 64, and 80-bristle chasen have 80 bristles. 100-bristle chasen have around 81-95 bristles.

Q. When I counted the bristles on my tea whisk, the number did not match the product name.
A. I asked a traditional craftsman.
The term "XX stem" is just a name. The actual number of spikes is less than that.
The number of pieces is determined by a union of traditional craftsmen, and a standard guideline is set.
