✦ How to Use
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

1. Before first use, soak the bowl in water for a few minutes to allow the ceramic to absorb moisture. This helps reduce staining over time.
2. Place 1–2 scoops of matcha powder into the bowl.
3. Pour approximately 70–80ml of hot water (around 80°C).
4. Whisk briskly with a bamboo chasen until a fine, creamy froth forms.
5. Savour your matcha directly from the bowl, appreciating its texture and warmth in your hands.
6. After use, gently hand wash with water and allow the bowl to dry thoroughly before storing.
