Mr. Tatehiro Kubo
Takehiro Kubo is a certified traditional craftsman from Takayama, Nara—Japan’s historic center of chasen-making.
Each whisk is carefully handcrafted from a single piece of bamboo.
The colorful thread is woven by his wife, honoring the tradition of making chasen as a couple.

The result is a creamy froth that enhances the taste and makes the matcha more enjoyable.
