The spoons are beautiful and all unique:

During a visit to Hirata-san and his father—the artisans who make our matcha whisks (chasen handmade by Japanese families) and polka dot bamboo scoops—Hirata-san took the opportunity to introduce me to his neighbour, who makes beautiful smoked bamboo matcha scoops with their own sheaths.

According to Hirata-san, the quality of the moment depends on the quality and beauty of the objects surrounding matcha tea (especially the bowl and whisk), whether for a traditional ritual, such as the Japanese tea ceremony, or for a daily tasting.

That's why he also enjoys working on the beauty of bamboo scoops for preparing matcha tea, also known as chashaku.

My favorite detail is that the angle of the bamboo scoop is much more angular instead of being very rounded like most bamboo matcha scoops. This is a difficult detail to achieve because it requires bending the bamboo even more, which requires master craftsmanship. This angle is appreciated because it allows you to scoop up more matcha at once.

As these are artisanal and handmade products, each spoon and its sheath are different.

I hope you enjoy tasting your daily matcha with this teaspoon.
