Anatae is a French matcha brand founded in 2019 that sources organic tea directly from three Japanese prefectures: Nishio, Kagoshima, Shizuoka. Its matcha range is purpose-built—from ceremonial to culinary—with blends tailored to each use.
The ceremonial grade relies on ichibancha leaves shaded for three weeks with black sheets—tana shading—and stone-ground to a fine 10‑micron powder after steaming and drying. Anatae works with multi‑generational farmers like Kana’s family in Nishio; their pesticide‑free tencha helped the brand earn the Meilleur Produit BIO award.
The Chashaku Bamboo Matcha Spoon is a traditional utensil for scooping matcha and transferring it to a matcha bowl. Used in the Japanese tea ceremony for centuries, its narrow, curved form serves a specific purpose within matcha preparation. Each scoop can hold approximately 1 to 3 g of matcha, although the amount depends on the user’s motion.
A chashaku moves matcha into the bowl before the rest of the preparation continues. Unlike a general kitchen spoon, this utensil belongs to the traditional group of tools associated with the Japanese tea ceremony. Its role remains focused: collecting matcha and carrying it to the chawan, the matcha bowl.
The amount collected is not fixed. Depending on how the spoon is used, it can pick up between 1 and 3 g of matcha. This range gives buyers a concrete sense of its capacity without treating each scoop as an exact measurement.
The chashaku is carved from one piece of bamboo. This single-piece construction gives the utensil a durable, resistant structure while retaining the traditional material associated with this type of matcha spoon.
The chashaku can form part of a traditional matcha utensil set alongside a chawan, chasen, and naoshi. A chawan is the bowl that receives the matcha. A chasen is the matcha whisk, while a naoshi is a stand for the chasen.
This spoon suits buyers assembling those traditional utensils or replacing the scooping tool in an existing set. It also offers a dedicated alternative to using a general spoon when moving matcha into the bowl.
The stated 1 to 3 g capacity is a range rather than a guaranteed dose. The amount varies with the user’s gesture, so the chashaku should not be treated as a fixed measuring spoon. Its main function is traditional scooping and transfer.
Choose this bamboo chashaku for its defined role, single-piece construction, and place among established matcha utensils. Buyers requiring an exact portion should account for the variation between scoops.
