Ratings and Reviews of Japanese Made Tea Whisk For Matcha

I have used it but once so far, and I may update my review after a few months of use, and have been very pleased. You can tell that it is hand made and the craftsmanship is excellent. I love that all of the tines are roughly the same size but some appear thinner or thicker than others give it a nice hand made look. it has a pleasant appearance. 
The tea resulting from Nara whisk Vs. Areolatte whisk was much sweeter and "softer."

I have been using this chasen for now one year and it is still working well. I guess the fact that it is made in Japan by a reputable artisan makes the difference.
