- Be gentle with your prized chasen. You'll notice it is lightly glued to the box. Carefully remove the chasen. You may lightly wet the bottom of the handle with hot water to dissolve any remaining glue.
- Prior to using your chasen, you may soak the tines in hot water so the bamboo softens.
- Right after making matcha, please rinse your chasen without soap or using a sponge. Make sure to gently towel off your whisk, and carefully clean the tines with your fingers if any matcha remains.
- Store your whisk away from sunlight or humid areas to ensure it stays in excellent condition.
