Susudake Chashaku Matcha Scoop

This susudake (煤竹) smoked bamboo chashaku (matcha scoop) is an indispensable tool for making matcha. Made in the classic nakabushi style (middle node style), this chashaku is perfect for measuring out the desired amount of matcha and is perfect for all tea settings. Made by Suikaen.

This chashake is made from Susudake bamboo that was previously used in a traditional Japanese house's hearth, where it was exposed to smoke and soot, staining it a beautiful deep brown over the course of decades and sometimes centuries. As such, each piece of susudake is unique, and with traditional Japanese houses on the decline, susudake is becoming increasingly rare.
