Interesting, I have been curious if the temperature affects the amount of foam made when making matcha but it doesn’t seem to make much difference. Do you notice a difference with your chasen if you have more or less whisks… I think it’s time for me to purchase a new chasen and I have noticed that you have the option of purchasing chasen with more whisks at a slightly higher price. I have been told that more whisks on your chasen make more foam… any thoughts.?
Depending on the number of tea leaf tips, there are different types of whisks, such as No. 70(kazuho), No. 80, No. 100, and No. 120. It is true that the higher the number, the more foam is said to be produced. However, once you get used to it, it won't make much difference. I usually use kazoho or 80.
@@SAMURAICHAJIN thanks for all your knowledge. The chasen I have has around 50 nibs and in the past it has worked fine over the years. What I did experiment with was the amount of water I am using. I purchased a new chawan for my wife and I was using just a little too much water in her chawan compared to mine which I pretty much know exactly how much water to use because I have had it for many years. Once I lowered the water level just slightly, it made a big difference, I also made sure to incorporate a nice amount of matcha, not too much, not too little. It takes a little more effort with my chasen compared to yours but it eventually gets the job done and it becomes a beautiful foam, color and taste. Message Arigato!

Hello, I am your follower from the State of Kuwait. Can i know any sweet matcha tea? ❤️❤️🍵
what does it looks like?we usually drink matcha only or matcha latte in Japan.
テレワークの休憩に自分で抹茶をたてて飲むようになりました。抹茶はリフレッシュにも効果的ですね！
茶筅でたてているときに10秒弱で手が疲れてきて動かしにくくなります。。。これって私だけなんでしょうか？
始めはすぐ疲れましたが、慣れてくると疲れなくなりますね。きっちり前後に茶筅を振るのではなく、楽な方向（斜め方向など）で振れば簡単に点てられる様になると思いますので一度試してください。
@@SAMURAICHAJIN たしかに動画でも横かななめ寄りでされてますね！試してみます。
また非常にわかりやすく有益な動画ありがとうございます。これからも応援させていただきます！
気になるので質問させてください。初めのちょっと溶かすための水は、お湯ではないようですが、お湯を使う場合と味は変わらないのですか？
お湯を使うより水を使う方が苦味が抑えられると思います。今度改めて実験動画を作りますね。
@@SAMURAICHAJIN 返信ありがとうございます。美味しさのためには、苦みはできるだけ抑えられている方が良いのだろうか、と気になったりもしたので質問させていただきました。楽しみに待ちたいと思います。
茶碗を温める
抹茶を練る
お湯を入れる（60度ぐらい？）
立てるって感じですか？
そうです。ただ、お湯の温度を下げた場合、飲んだ時にぬるいと美味しくないと感じることもあるので美味しさを感じる程度の温度で点てるのがポイントです。
