Tezumi Hackberry Wood Kusenaoshi

While ceramic holders are beautiful, they often only support the outer tines of a matcha whisk. This Hackberry wood shaper is engineered to apply pressure to both the inner and outer tines, which is critical for maintaining the whisk's structural integrity and ensuring a consistent foam.

A bamboo whisk naturally loses its shape after repeated use, which can lead to broken tines. By using this shaper after every session, you gently guide the tines back into their original, optimal position, preventing them from warping or snapping prematurely.

This tool is designed to fit standard bamboo matcha whisks. Because it is crafted from wood, it provides a slight, natural tension that accommodates the typical variations found in handmade bamboo whisks.

This item is not dishwasher safe and should never be soaked. Simply rinse it with warm water after use, wipe it dry with a clean cloth, and allow it to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area before storing your whisk on it.

No special oiling is required. Because it is made from natural Japanese Hackberry, it is durable on its own, provided you keep it dry and avoid exposing it to extreme heat or direct sunlight, which could cause the wood to crack.
