Chashaku
The bamboo surface does not electrify like metal teaspoons, so the powder slides off the spoon without leaving any residue. However, care should be taken to ensure that the spoon does not get wet, as moisture roughens the surface and the powder then sticks to the spoon. It is best to simply wipe with a dry cloth.
One heaped spoonful corresponds to one portion of matcha (approx. 100 ml, except for the stronger koicha) - depending on your taste, you can heap it up a little more or less.

Item No. 40226.1
Matcha measuring spoon (Chashaku) made of bamboo.
Use 1-2 heaped spoons of Matcha (per 100ml) for one bowl of Usucha. The exact amount can vary depending on the type of Matcha and your personal taste, but you will quickly find the right amount of Matcha for your taste after a few tries. Start with a higher dosage and if it is too strong add some extra water and use less powder the next time.
Make sure the spoon does not get wet, since the water will roughen the surface making the powder stick to it. Clean with a dry cloth instead.
