Whisk Holder (Naoshi)
A naoshi whisk holder is a small, cylindrical vessel used to store and protect a chasen, or Japanese tea whisk, when not in use. Naoshi whisk holders are designed to hold the delicate bamboo tines of the chasen in place, preventing them from becoming misshapen or damaged, an essential accesory for maintaining the longevity of the chasen.

how should I store my matcha
We recommend storing opened matcha in a cool dark place (like a pantry) away from heat, light, and humidity.
The next best storage option would be in the fridge, but with caution.
Here’s what to keep in mind:
- Matcha absorbs moisture and odors easily, so keep it sealed.
- Let it reach room temperature before opening – Condensation can form inside the container if cold matcha is exposed to warm air, affecting quality.
Avoid the Fridge

f not properly sealed – It can absorb fridge odors, affecting flavor.
