Shin Kazuho Chasen (Madake Bamboo) Red String 1 – Tango Tanimura

This 70 prong Shin Kazuho Chasen has been hand made by 20th generation Master Bamboo Whisk Craftsman Tango Tanimura.

It is sculpted from Madake or “bitter bamboo” that has unique markings. It is so named because the edible bamboo shoots can taste bitter. It’s a bamboo native to Japan and symbolic of Japanese culture.

It’s unusual to see Chasen made from this type of bamboo which makes it an interesting choice for those who like something a little contrarian and distinctive.
