Suikaen Seto-yaki Kusenaoshi

Bamboo whisks are delicate and prone to losing their shape after repeated use. A kusenaoshi, or whisk shaper, gently holds the tines in their original curved position as they dry, which significantly extends the lifespan of your whisk and ensures it continues to produce a consistent froth.

Yes, this holder is designed to accommodate standard-sized bamboo chasen (whisks). Its 2.3-inch width is the industry standard for ensuring the tines are held securely without being forced or damaged.

After rinsing your whisk with warm water, gently shake off the excess moisture and place the whisk directly onto the kusenaoshi. Allow it to air dry completely in the stand before storing it away.

Absolutely. The Seto-yaki ceramic features a smooth, high-quality glaze specifically designed to be non-abrasive. It guides the tines into place without snagging or splintering the bamboo.

It is best used as a drying and shaping tool rather than a permanent storage vessel. Once the whisk is fully dry, you can leave it on the stand, but ensure it is kept in a well-ventilated area to prevent any potential mold growth on the bamboo.
