Naoki Matcha Stainless Steel Measuring Spoon Set

Yes — and this is actually one of the most praised features. The long handles are specifically designed to reach into tall bags and narrow containers without you having to stick your fingers in. Multiple reviewers highlight how they can scoop matcha from the bottom of tall bags easily. Many people just leave the smaller scoop inside their matcha container for dedicated use, which means less mess and no need to wash it between uses.

It's actually ideal for beginners. The pre-measured 2g and 6g sizes take the guesswork out completely — you don't need a kitchen scale or any experience to get the right amount of matcha. The wide, shallow scoop design makes it easy to level off, and the long handle keeps your hands clean while you're still getting the hang of your matcha routine. The stainless steel is also more forgiving than traditional bamboo tools, since it's dishwasher safe and basically indestructible.

Yes, they're dishwasher safe. The one-piece stainless steel construction with no seams means there are no crevices where matcha residue can hide, whether you hand-wash or use the dishwasher. That seamless design is actually a real advantage — traditional bamboo scoops (chashaku) can't go in the dishwasher and are harder to clean. That said, many users report they rarely need to wash them at all since they just leave the scoop in the container for dedicated use.

A traditional bamboo chashaku is beautiful and ceremonial, but it measures roughly 1g per scoop (so you need to count scoops), it can't go in the dishwasher, and bamboo absorbs moisture over time. The Naoki stainless steel scoops give you exact 2g and 6g measurements in one scoop, they're dishwasher safe, and the seamless steel won't absorb odors or stain. If you value the ritual and aesthetics of a traditional tea ceremony, the bamboo chashaku has its charm. But for daily practicality, the stainless steel wins.

Absolutely — reviewers use them for all sorts of things. People mention scooping supplements into morning drinks, measuring loose leaf tea, spooning coconut onto yogurt, portioning cream of wheat cereal, and reaching into tall jars for sugar or flour. The long handles and precise measurements make them surprisingly versatile kitchen tools. A few people even use them for cold brew coffee preparation.

Yes, and several reviewers mention doing exactly that. The handles are long enough to stir comfortably in tall mugs (20 oz and up). It won't replace a proper matcha whisk (chasen) for getting that frothy consistency, but for quick everyday matcha lattes or just mixing the powder into hot water, it works well as a stir stick. It's one of those unexpected bonuses — scoop, measure, and stir with the same tool.

Honestly, the markings could be better — at least one reviewer notes they're hard to see. But in practice this isn't much of an issue, since there are only two scoops and each is a different size. Once you know the smaller one is 2g and the larger is 6g, you won't need to read the markings. It's not like a set of eight measuring spoons where you're constantly checking which is which.

For matcha, one level scoop with the 2g (teaspoon) side is the standard single serving — that's what most matcha brands recommend for a bowl or cup. If you like a stronger, more concentrated matcha or you're making a matcha latte, you might use two scoops of the 2g side or one scoop of the 6g (tablespoon) side. For loose leaf tea, the general rule is one teaspoon per cup, so the 2g scoop works well for that too.

For matcha made with the 2g scoop, a standard 8–12 oz cup or bowl works well for a traditional serving. That said, several owners of these Naoki scoops mention using them with tall 20 oz+ mugs — and the long handles actually double as stirring sticks in those larger cups. So whether you're whisking a traditional bowl of matcha or stirring a big matcha latte, the scoop size and handle length have you covered.

For matcha specifically, one of the biggest mistakes is inconsistent measuring — using too much or too little powder throws off both the flavor and texture. That's exactly where a dedicated measuring scoop like this Naoki set helps. Instead of eyeballing it or dirtying a kitchen scale every morning, you get a precise 2g serving each time. Another common mistake is introducing moisture into your matcha powder (from wet spoons or damp fingers), and the long handles on these scoops help you avoid that by keeping your hands well away from the powder.

They can show fingerprints despite the matte finish, according to one reviewer. It's a minor cosmetic thing — a quick wipe with a dry cloth takes care of it. The stainless steel construction means they won't corrode or stain, so fingerprints are purely an appearance issue rather than a functional one.
