Know before you buy
A chasen naoshi is essential for maintaining the delicate shape of your bamboo whisk. By resting the whisk on the holder after use, you allow the tines to dry in their original, curved position, which prevents them from warping or breaking over time.
Yes, the holder is designed to fit standard bamboo chasen. With dimensions of 65mm in diameter and 75mm in height, it provides a stable base for most traditional whisk sizes.
The holder is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand-washing it with mild soap and warm water, then drying it thoroughly before placing your whisk back on it.
