{"product_id":"replacement-chasen","title":"Replacement Chasen — Long-Handle Bamboo Matcha Whisk","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhisks wear out. This is the one you buy when yours does.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA chasen is a consumable, and nobody tells you that when you buy your first one. The prongs are split bamboo, so they soften, splay, and eventually snap. With daily use you'll get somewhere between six months and a year out of one. That isn't a defect, it's the tool doing its job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo: a single, handcrafted bamboo whisk, about 6 inches, with a longer and slimmer handle than most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the long handle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard chasen are built for a wide, shallow tea bowl. If you're whisking straight into a mug, a travel tumbler, or a tall glass, which is what most people actually do on a weekday, a standard handle puts your knuckles in the drink. This one doesn't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho this is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eYour first whisk has gone soft and stopped foaming properly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eYou already own a bowl and a scoop and just need the whisk.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eYou want a second one for the office, or for travel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eYou want to try matcha without committing to a full kit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're starting from nothing, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/matcha-ritual-kit\"\u003eRitual Kit\u003c\/a\u003e at $59 is better value, since it adds the sifter, scoop, and spoon for $20 more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMaking it last\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRinse in warm water immediately after use. No soap, ever, because it strips the bamboo and taints the next cup. Don't let it soak, don't put it in the dishwasher, and stand it upright to dry rather than laying it on its side. Bamboo left wet and flat is what turns a year long whisk into a two week one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore its first use, soak the prongs in warm water for about two minutes. It softens them enough that they won't snap on the first vigorous whisk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eShipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShips from a US warehouse.
