For those who want to immerse themselves in the art of chadō (Way of Tea), tea ladles or scoops called chashaku in Japanese are an indispensible tool. Chashaku have become an indispensible part of the Japanese tea ceremony following its adoption from the Asian continent around the 15th century. Chashaku not only hold a ceremonial purpose but are also highly utilitarian. The long and narrow shape combined with a flat, slightly wider scoop and a rounded tip allows one to scoop the right amount of matcha even from the bottom of a caddy. As chashaku developed in tandem with tea culture over the ages, their design evolved to ensure the ideal measurement of matcha.

Ippodo

一保堂

Ippodo has been run by the Watanabe family since its establishment in 1717, when Watanabe Rihei opened his shop in Omiya in Teramachi Nijo in Kyoto to sell tea and ceramics. The shop quickly gained a reputation for providing high quality tea and patrons included members of the Imperial Court and household. In 1846 the shop was renamed by Prince Yamashina to Ippodo (lit. 'preserve one'), reflecting his wishes that the shop would forever preserve its dedication to producing only the highest quality of tea.
