Care Instructions:

1. Gently pull the chasen out of the paper box. If any paper remains, soak the handle in lukewarm water for 15 minutes and brush gently with a clean dish towel.

2. Before using your chasen for the first time, soak the whisk in hot water for 10-15 minutes to unfurl the tips.

3. Afterwards, before each use, soak the chasen in hot water for 1-2 minutes before whisking to soften the tines.

4. After making matcha, rinse the chasen in clean water to remove excess matcha and dry it in a well-ventilated place.

5. Avoid use of detergents. NOT dishwasher-safe.

6. To keep your chasen in the best condition for as long as possible, use a kusenaoshi once dry to preserve the shape of the chasen tines.
