This shiratake (白竹) white bamboo chashaku (matcha scoop) is made in the mizuya (水者) style, with a wide scoop and sturdy handle ideal for scooping larger amounts of matcha.
This style is designed to be used in preparation for a tea ceremony in the mizuya, where it is used to scoop matcha into a large sifter and from there into a natsume or other tea caddy.
Due to the organic nature of bamboo and handmade teaware, there may be slight variations in size, capacity, and appearance.
