How Many Grams Can You Take With the Chashaku?

A traditional Japanese tea ceremony uses two scoops of matcha per serving, equivalent to about 2 grams. This simple measure helps maintain balance, enough matcha for vibrant flavor and ideal froth, without excess bitterness.

  • Step 1

    Grip the chashaku by the thin end, like a pencil.

  • Step 2

    Dip it into the matcha tin or natsume and load it with powder.

  • Step 3

    Carefully lift the scoop and bring it over your bowl or sifter.

  • Step 4

    Gently tap or tilt to release the matcha — avoid spilling the powder.

How the Chashaku Is Made

Each chashaku is carefully handcrafted from a single piece of bamboo. Artisans heat and bend the bamboo to form the gentle curve at the tip, known as the arigoshi, or “ant’s back hump.” This detail isn’t just aesthetic—it helps measure and release matcha with perfect precision during the tea ceremony.

How to Clean Your Chashaku

To preserve your chashaku’s shape and natural finish, avoid using water or soap.
Simply wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth after each use. A well-cared-for bamboo scoop will last for years, deepening in color and character over time.

Customer video review of Chashaku Bamboo Spoon

My matcha routine just got a glow-up thanks to Nio Teas’ Chashaku! This little bamboo spoon looks simple, but trust me, it makes the whole preparation feel so much more intentional and elegant. The scoop is the perfect size, super precise, and helps keep the matcha fluffy and airy before whisking. I paired it with the Nio Teas whisk in my video, and the combo? Pure disco magic 💚 If you want to see the full matcha prep, check out my video on Instagram. Profile: @matchawdisco

Customer video review of Chashaku Bamboo Spoon

Okay… confession time... I may have gotten a tiny bit carried away with the chashaku scoops while making my bowl of Osada Okumidori... Let’s just say it turned into a matcha mountain hahaha! But honestly? Zero regrets, because the result was an umami bomb of dreams. So smooth, rich, velvety, and deeply savory… like the purest green hug. The chashaku made scooping super easy. Maybe a little too easy for me lol 😂 If you want to watch the whole delicious “oops-but-YUM” moment, check out the video on @matchawithkayla

Customer video review of Chashaku Bamboo Spoon

Questa ciotola di Henta Matcha stava già migliorando la mia mattina… ma condividerla con il mio piccolo coniglietto Miffy l’ha resa ancora più adorabile 🐰💚 Usare il chashaku e il frustino è stato come un piccolo rituale di pace, e Miffy ha sicuramente approvato tutto il momento matcha (o almeno si è goduto lo spettacolo 👀✨). Se vuoi vedere tutta la preparazione coccolosa con la speciale apparizione di Miffy, dai un’occhiata al video su @nicole.gimondo

The chashaku is noticeably high-quality! Love how it adds up to the experience of making matcha at home. 🤍

Fast delivery straight from Japan, great quality products

Super!

Nice addition to my matcha collection!

Works great

I bought the Advent calendar, and I was disappointed by the presentation; it was basically a bunch of envelopes in a red plastic bag. I think the product will benefit from nicer packaging.
