Know before you buy
A chasen is made of delicate bamboo tines that can easily lose their shape or develop mold if left to dry on their side. The Naoshi holds the whisk in its natural, open position, which helps the tines dry evenly and prevents them from warping or breaking.
Yes, the Bellocq Chasen Naoshi is designed to accommodate standard-sized bamboo matcha whisks. Its dimensions are specifically calibrated to support the curvature of the tines.
The white glazed ceramic is non-porous and very easy to maintain. Simply rinse it with warm water after use and wipe it dry to prevent any water spots or tea residue buildup.
Absolutely. You should always rinse your whisk thoroughly with warm water after preparing your matcha to remove any lingering tea particles. Once rinsed, gently shake off excess water and place it on the Naoshi to air dry completely.
While the ceramic is durable, it is best to handle it with care to avoid chipping. It is not recommended for use in a dishwasher; hand washing is the safest and most effective way to clean it.
