Porta Chasen per Matcha, Carbone Morbido

Finally, a proper spot to rest the chasen without it rolling around or getting bent. The ceramic is heavy enough that it stays put even when I bump the counter. It’s a small thing, but it makes the whole matcha ritual feel more considered.

The soft coal glaze has this lovely matte finish that makes it look way more expensive than it is. My chasen finally has a proper home on the counter instead of dripping on the cutting board, and the weight of the ceramic keeps it from tipping over when I knock it accidentally.

It’s the little things—this holder keeps my chasen perfectly upright and lets it air out without tipping over. The soft coal ceramic looks understated on my counter, and the weight feels sturdy enough to last.
