Japanese Matcha Whisk Holder (Kusenaoshi)

After whisking, a bamboo chasen needs to dry in the right shape, or its prongs slowly splay and bend out of line. That's what a kusenaoshi, literally a "shape fixer," is for. This holder sits upright on the counter. Rinse your whisk, then rest it head-down over the holder so the prongs settle back into their natural curve and dry with air all around them. It's a small habit that helps a bamboo whisk last a lot longer, and it keeps a matcha setup looking tidy between uses. Pair it with the Purple Bamboo Matcha Whisk. Note that this item is for the holder only. Matcha whisk is not included.
