Ceremony Set Care Guide

Gentle, effortless care for long-lasting tools.

ZENSŌ tools are handcrafted from natural materials chosen for durability and a refined matcha experience.

Caring for them is simple — just a few small habits will keep everything beautiful for years.

1. Ceramic Pieces

(Chawan, Yunomi, Whisk Holder, Scoop Holder, Tea Canister)
Material: High-temperature stoneware ceramic

How to clean

  • Hand-wash with warm water

  • Mild soap is fine

  • Soft sponge only

How to dry

  • Air-dry or pat gently

  • Avoid sudden temperature shock

Good to know
Ceramic naturally ages with subtle color shifts — a sign of authentic craftsmanship.

2. Bamboo Tools

(Chasen & Chashaku)
Material: Purple bamboo & natural bamboo

Chasen (Whisk)

  • Rinse with warm water (no soap)

  • After rinsing, place on whisk holder to dry

  • Avoid soaking or pressing the tines

  • Warm water softens the bamboo and keeps elasticity

The whisk will develop a natural patina over time — completely normal and part of its character.

Chashaku (Scoop)

  • Wipe clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth

  • Do not soak in water

  • Keep away from excess humidity

3. Metal Tools

(Tea Spoon & Sifter)

Tea Spoon (Bronze-effect Alloy)

  • Hand-wash with mild soap

  • Dry fully to avoid water spots

  • No abrasive scrubbing

Sifter (Stainless Steel Mesh)

  • Rinse under warm water

  • Use a soft brush if needed

  • Avoid pressing or bending the mesh

  • Allow to dry completely before storing

4. Storage Basics (All Tools)

  • Keep everything dry before storing

  • Avoid direct sunlight and high humidity

  • Store matcha in the canister in a cool, dry place

  • Bamboo tools should be stored in open air (not closed containers)

Quick “Do & Don’t” List
