Bowl for preparing matcha (katakuchi)

Katakuchi is a bowl with a spout, used for preparing matcha shots (matcha with water). It allows easy pouring of the drink into another container, such as a smaller cup or glass.

If you want a full set for a true matcha enthusiast, you'll need a bamboo whisk (chasen) and a matcha spoon (chashaku).

A beautiful and convenient bowl is perfect for creating a special atmosphere. You need to experience the katakuchi to enjoy preparing matcha.

Material: semi-porcelain, food-safe effect glaze

Care: dishwasher safe and microwaveable

Each piece is handmade, so bowls may slightly vary from each other.

Matcha shot recipe (matcha with water):

A classic Japanese drink where matcha and water are whisked until thick foam forms (foam is an indicator of matcha quality). Not all matcha grades are suitable for matcha shots. Use only ceremonial and high ceremonial grades for preparation.

Matcha shot should be slightly or not at all bitter, with a sweet or creamy aftertaste.

What will you need?

Matcha – 2 g

Water 70-80°C – 100 ml

Sieve

Whisk

Wide bowl (e.g., chawan or katakuchi)

Pour water into the bowl, sift the matcha through a sieve and whisk quickly in W-shaped motions for 30 seconds. A dense foam should form on the surface.

Bamboo Whisk (Chasen)

To prepare the perfect matcha, it's essential to whisk the drink thoroughly to avoid any lumps. The key aspect is achieving dense, fluffy, and stable foam on the surface of the matcha shot. Using a bamboo whisk is the optimal way to achieve such foam, characteristic of high-quality matcha.

Matcha shot recipe (matcha with water), prepared with a whisk

What will you need?

Matcha – 2 g

Water 70-80°C – 80 ml

Whisk

Wide bowl (e.g., chawan or katakuchi)

Take a bowl (wider than a regular mug) and whisk the matcha with W-shaped movements, barely touching the bottom. Whisk for 30 seconds until a dense foam forms.

Tips:

Before using, soak the whisk for 30 seconds in hot water, submerging the tines about 3-4 cm in the water. This makes the tines flexible, allows the whisk to open better, and prolongs its life.
After use, rinse the whisk with water and let it dry. Just leave it on the table to dry or place it on a special whisk holder. Do not store the wet whisk in a closed box, as it may get moldy.
For a matcha shot, use matcha grades suitable for water.

Japanese tea can

You can put any tea into it.

How to properly store matcha?

Matcha should be stored in a tightly sealed package or can. It is strictly forbidden to store the powder in a transparent glass jar or container, as light and oxygen degrade the beneficial properties of the tea. It's better to use iron Japanese cans for storage at home.

Once opened, matcha can be stored for 3 months (you can transfer the tea from the package to the can). We recommend consuming the contents of our package within 1-1.5 months, as this ensures the maximum intake of beneficial substances.

It can be stored at room temperature if you drink matcha quickly, but not above 22°C. However, it's better to store matcha in the refrigerator. If you do not plan to drink it for a long time, put the matcha in the freezer.

Bamboo spoon chashaku

The chashaku spoon is not just a beautiful piece of bamboo, but the most precise scale for matcha. You can check it yourself: one chashaku of matcha equals exactly 1 gram of tea. If you take a slightly bigger scoop, it will be 2 grams.

It also allows you to conveniently take matcha from a package or can.

Care: do not wash in the dishwasher, it can be rinsed and laid out / stood up to dry.

About Us

The idea to create Matcha Forest was born in 2019 from Lena Kozhina's great love for matcha. She travelled to Japan many times and lived there for over six months, adopting the habit of drinking good matcha every day. 'Matcha is modern, healthy, and delicious,' – this has been Lena's favourite phrase then and now.

The next step was to tell and show people that matcha is a stand-alone product and also an excellent alternative to coffee. This way, we won the hearts of guests at many Russian restaurants, premium chains, cafes, and specialty coffee shops.

In 2022, we opened an office in Kazakhstan, and in 2023 – in Dubai. Our story has developed rapidly, but we have always remembered the values that have been with us from the very beginning: quality, honesty with our audience, and respect for the work of the Japanese producer. It is precisely thanks to their centuries-old tea cultivation practices and striving for the highest quality every day that we have the opportunity to incorporate these products into our diet.

Since the founding of the brand, we have been gathering fans of matcha tea around us, conducting educational activities in the countries of presence, organizing master classes, participating in festivals, creating a real expert matcha community.

We know exactly what good matcha is, so we want to share it with each of you.

Our Plantation

Yanoen Plantation is one of the most recognized tea plantations in Japan. Brew yourself some authentic Japanese matcha.

From the heart of tea culture straight to the hearts of our customers

We take pride in the fact that our matcha is carefully produced in the very heart of Japan's tea culture – Uji, Kyoto Prefecture, at the Yanoen plantation. Traditionally, the best teas, especially matcha, with high auction value on the Japanese domestic market, are considered to be from Kyoto Prefecture, particularly brands from Uji.

Why Uji?

The high quality of production and the popularity of this province are determined by the climatic features of the region. The purest water and mineral-rich soil are the keys to growing the world's best tea.

CENTURIES-OLD HISTORY

The history of the Yanoen tea house dates back to 1836, with family secrets of the perfect tea passed down from generation to generation. In September 2022, our company was awarded a certificate of official representation of the Yanoen tea house in Kazakhstan and Russia. That means we are the only ones who can bring Yanoen tea house products to these markets. Being a part of this centuries-old history is an honour and a pride for Matcha Forest brand.

The Yanoen tea house has been awarded numerous awards and prizes by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries of Japan at annual national tea exhibitions.
