Tea Strainer
This finely crafted tea strainer (chakoshi) elevates the simple acts of sifting matcha or straining loose leaf tea. Its distinctive tsuchime (槌目) texture—a hand-hammered finish created by skilled artisans—gives each piece a unique appearance and feel.
Crafted in Tsubame City (燕市) in Niigata Prefecture, this piece draws from a centuries-old tradition of metalwork that began in the Edo Period with the forging of handmade nails. Today, Tsubame is recognized both in Japan and internationally for its exceptional kitchenware. This strainer is a quiet testament to that legacy of refined utility.
