How do Ippodo staff use it?
Keep it on hand as a kitchen utensil. It allows you to prepare matcha very quickly.
Firmly bound by thread
One piece of bamboo is split several times down the middle to form many fine bristles, or tips, and black thread is used to separate and bind the inner and outer tips. So the handle of a bamboo whisk invariably has cracks in it, but thanks to the thread, it can be used without falling apart, despite the cracks.
About the tips and plastic case
The tips a curled shape, this is simply done as a final decorative flourish and to protect the tips before they are used. Each chasen is shipped in a plastic case, but it should not be stored in the case after whisking matcha, as doing so could cause mould to develop on the chasen.
