The Chashaku Tea Scoop Gets it Right!

I am enjoying using the Chashaku Tea Scoop for more than one reason. It measures the matcha powder to just the right amount, and it's made of a natural material...bamboo! I could use a teaspoon instead...and I did for a while...but this bamboo scoop does the measurement quickly and accurately enough...and it's a lot more fun to use. I feel as though I am more in touch with a long-standing tradition that goes back many hundreds of years. This is the way Japanese have made matcha, for a very long time. I can imagine drinking my matcha in another much earlier century...and using the same bowl, and the bamboo whisk...and now the bamboo Chashaku as well! I'm not Japanese, but I still enjoy honoring this wonderful tradition.

More about this tool

What a chashaku is

A chashaku is the slender bamboo scoop that lifts matcha from its tin or caddy into the bowl. The name joins cha, tea, and shaku, a scoop. It looks simple, a thin strip of bamboo curved into a small cup at the tip, but in a Japanese tea setting it sits beside the bowl and the whisk as one of the three essential tools. Ours is handmade from a single piece of fine bamboo.

Using a bamboo matcha scoop

A chashaku measures by habit more than by number. How much it holds depends on how heaped you take it, so most people settle on a number of scoops for a bowl of usucha and keep to it. Once you do, the tea tastes the same from one morning to the next. A light tap on the rim of the bowl knocks off the last of the powder.

Chashaku or a metal matcha spoon

Bamboo is light and gentle on a ceramic bowl or a lacquer caddy. Wipe it with a dry cloth after use rather than soaking it, so it keeps its curve. If you would rather measure to the gram, our stainless steel 1 g scooper does that. Set the chashaku beside a bamboo matcha whisk and you have the two tools a traditional bowl is built around.
