Joiish Matcha Whisk Set Kit

Absolutely! This is actually an ideal starter set. It comes with an instructional guide that walks you through the basics, shows you how to make different types of matcha, and explains how to use each tool. You get everything you need in one package—the whisk, bowl with a handy spout, scoop, sifter, measuring cup, and even a storage bag. Multiple beginners mention it's a great way to test whether matcha-making is something you'll enjoy before investing in more expensive ceremonial sets.

Yes, the bamboo whisk (chasen) does create nice froth when used properly. Several users specifically mention it whisks well and produces good foam. The set also includes a whisk holder (kusenaoshi) which helps maintain the whisk's shape between uses—this is important for longevity. That said, a couple reviewers noted their whisk deteriorated after extended use, so handle it gently and let it dry completely after each use to get the most life out of it.

The measuring cup is definitely the weakest link in this set. Several buyers reported it arrived cracked or broken, and a few mentioned the color or measurement markings weren't quite as advertised. The good news is the rest of the set is solid—the ceramic bowl, bamboo tools, and other accessories hold up well. If your measuring cup does arrive damaged, it's worth reaching out for a replacement, but you can always use your own measuring cup or glass if needed.

For the price point, this set delivers impressive value. You're getting traditional ceremonial tools (chasen whisk, chashaku scoop, kusenaoshi whisk holder, futaoki scoop rest) along with practical extras like a fine-mesh sifter that eliminates clumps and a bowl with a functional spout. The ceramic quality is good, the sage green/transparent aesthetic is beautiful, and everything arrives well-packaged. It won't match $100+ artisan sets, but multiple users call it 'good quality for the price' and perfect for daily matcha-making at home.

Yes! The bamboo pieces are naturally fragile, so handle them gently. Rinse the whisk immediately after use with warm (not hot) water and let it air dry completely on the whisk holder—this prevents mold, which one reviewer mentioned as an issue. The ceramic bowl can get grey markings from the whisk over time, and one user noted these don't wash off completely, but that's normal wear for matcha bowls. The set includes a non-slip mat backing and storage bag, which help protect everything when not in use.
