A richly textured susudake chasen (bamboo whisk) has arrived from Hokushien. Susudake is a one-of-a-kind material, aged for many years in the smoke of an irori (sunken hearth), with the marks of straw rope still visible as a unique feature. Each one has a different appearance, and the flavor deepens the more you use it. This material has long been considered "precious" and "high-class," and is recommended for those looking for tea utensils with a touch of elegance. Using it with a chasen rest will help maintain the shape of the bristles for about 2-3 years, making them less likely to deform. Click here for details #JoyTeaUtensils
