Golden bamboo scoop for portioning half a serving of matcha

The Matchaeologist Bamboo Chashaku Matcha Scoop is a traditional matcha portioning utensil made from golden bamboo. Its smooth, curved form is designed to hold and dispense fine matcha powder, with each scoop intended to measure about half a serving. It is a practical choice for matcha preparation that follows half-serving portions, but the handmade construction means each measure is approximate rather than exact.

How much matcha does this chashaku portion?

The scoop is designed to hold approximately 0.5 g of matcha, equal to about half a serving under Matchaeologist brewing instructions. A variation of plus or minus 10% may occur. The precise amount also depends on the density of the matcha, so this utensil should not be treated as a substitute for a scale when an exact weight is required.

Its shallow bend supports the specific task of lifting and dispensing fine matcha powder. This makes the chashaku useful for portioning directly during preparation without changing its traditional scoop format.

What is the scoop made from?

Each chashaku is carved from a piece of golden bamboo and shaped into a smooth, gentle curve. The handmade nature of the utensil accounts for small differences between individual pieces. Its form combines the appearance of curved bamboo with the function of holding and releasing powdered matcha.
