Please note that the actual product may differ from the image. When I counted the tea whisk's bristles, the number did not match the product name. A. I asked a traditional craftsman. The term "XX-stem" is a name. The actual number of bristles is less than that. The number of bristles is determined as a standard by the traditional craftsman's association. 《Handling Instructions》 ・When first using a new chasen, lightly rinse it in a tub or bowl, then blanch it in hot water (chasen-doshi). ・Do not use in a dishwasher or dryer. Shake it in water without using detergent, and let it dry naturally in a well-ventilated place out of direct sunlight. When doing so, placing it face down will help it dry cleanly without losing its shape. Afterwards, store it in a cool, dark place with little change in temperature or humidity. ・Also, vertical cracks may appear due to natural drying, but please enjoy these changes in appearance and texture as part of the natural flavor of bamboo.
