Chasen - Shin Chasen White Thread
Shipping calculated at checkout
The shin shape is one of the most popular styles of chasen, known for its elegant curves and versatility. With around 64 tines, it strikes a balance between the fine-tined usucha whisks and the thick-tined koicha types—making it suitable for both frothy usucha and thick koicha. Preferred by students of both Urasenke and Omotesenke schools, this style is a trusted choice for many.
Unlike mass-produced whisks, our Takayama chasen are entirely handmade—no machines, chemicals, or shortcuts. Crafted with care, they offer finer, more flexible tines and exceptional durability, making them a joy to use.
Care Tips:
Rinse with water after use and avoid soap. Let it air dry upright to prevent mold and maintain shape. For best results, use a kusenaoshi (whisk shaper) to preserve the curve of the tines.
Note: Each whisk is handmade from natural bamboo, so slight variations in size and appearance are to be expected.
