Tempat Pengocok Matcha Jepang (KuseNaoshi)

The ceramic base is heavier than I expected, so it stays put on my counter without wobbling. My chasen keeps its perfect barrel shape between uses now, and it even looks nice just sitting out next to my tea tin.

I was skeptical about needing a dedicated holder, but the ceramic weight really does keep the bamboo tines from splaying out after drying. It sits nicely on my counter and looks like a proper tea tool, not a kitchen gadget. Exactly what my whisk needed.

My chasen finally keeps its perfect tulip shape between uses instead of splaying out at the tips. The ceramic well is just the right depth to hold the bamboo tines upright without any wobble, and it looks neat sitting on my tea shelf.
