Feels clean, neutral, and light
A quiet, transparent tool for preserving the form of the chasen — bringing care, order, and lightness to the matcha ritual.
The Glass Matcha Whisk Stand is designed to help maintain the shape and condition of the chasen, an essential tool for preparing matcha.
After use, if a chasen is left to dry on its own, the tips may gradually close inward, reducing the natural flexibility needed for smooth whisking. By placing the chasen on a whisk stand, the bristles can dry in a gently opened position, helping preserve their shape and extend the life of the whisk.
A Functional Tool with a Refined Presence
Part of the ORIGAMI Tea glass series, this whisk stand is designed not only for function, but also for how it appears on the counter.
The transparent glass material feels clean, neutral, and light. It does not dominate the surrounding space, making it easy to place in a café, tea bar, or home kitchen. As a matcha tool, it carries a sense of traditional purpose, while the glass material gives it a more contemporary expression.
Two Ways to Place the Whisk
The stand supports two different ways of placing the chasen.
Used in the traditional direction, the chasen can be inserted to help open and maintain the shape of the bristles while drying. Alternatively, the whisk may be placed upside down with the handle side facing downward, which can help keep the inner part of the chasen cleaner during short pauses between preparations.
This makes the stand useful not only after cleaning, but also during service — for example, when preparing multiple bowls or moving smoothly from one cup to the next.
Designed to Pair with the Glass Matcha Bowl
When used together with the Glass Katakuchi Matcha Bowl, the whisk stand completes a more refined matcha preparation scene.
Whisking, pouring, resting, and caring for the tools become part of one continuous flow. The matching glass material brings visual harmony to the series, creating a calm and modern expression of matcha preparation.
A Contemporary Approach to Matcha Tools
While respecting the role of traditional matcha utensils, ORIGAMI Tea reconsiders how these tools can fit into present-day spaces.
The Glass Matcha Whisk Stand offers a practical and elegant way to care for the chasen, while maintaining the clean visual language of the glass matcha series.

Care of Use
- Wash and dry the bowl as soon as possible after use to help prevent matcha stains and odour transfer.
- Clean gently with lukewarm water and a small amount of mild detergent.

- If matcha staining occurs, dissolve one teaspoon of baking soda in lukewarm water and soak for approximately 20–30 minutes, then rinse and wash gently.
- After washing, drain excess water and allow the bowl to air dry upside down.
