After visiting some of Japan’s most famous teaware regions, we’re breaking down the different tea sets, teapots and matcha tools you actually need — and which ones you can do without. In this video, we travel through Tokoname, Shigaraki and Takayama to explore traditional Japanese teaware and help you build the perfect tea set for your routine. First, we visit Tokoname, one of Japan’s most famous teapot-producing regions, to look at the traditional kyusu teapot. If you’re searching for the best teapot for Japanese green tea, a glazed Japanese teapot is one of the most versatile options. A kyusu works beautifully with sencha, bancha, genmaicha, hojicha and most other Japanese loose-leaf teas. For beginners looking for a loose leaf tea set with teapot, we recommend starting with a glazed kyusu. Unlike some unglazed tea pots, it won’t season as easily, so you can prepare many different teas in the same Japanese tea pot. Next, we travel to Shigaraki to meet legendary potter Sawa Houzan and explore the shiboridashi. This specialized teapot set is designed for premium Japanese teas like gyokuro and kabusecha. Its wide, shallow shape allows you to brew concentrated tea with small amounts of cool water, bringing out the thick texture, sweetness and umami these teas are famous for. If you want a beautiful Japanese tea set specifically for gyokuro, a shiboridashi with matching cups can make an incredible Japanese tea set with teapot and cups. Finally, we build the perfect matcha tea set. Because matcha is powdered tea, you don’t need a teapot. A traditional Japanese matcha set instead includes: 🍵 Bamboo matcha whisk / chasen 🍵 Matcha bowl / chawan 🍵 Bamboo scoop / chashaku 🍵 Matcha sifter We visited Takayama, Japan, to see how traditional bamboo matcha whisks are made and why a chasen produces better matcha foam than a conventional metal whisk. We’ll also show you how to use your matcha set to prepare a smooth, vibrant bowl of usucha. Whether you’re looking for a Japanese tea set for adults, a traditional Japan tea set, a matcha tea set, a Japanese matcha set or simply the best teapot for green tea, the right equipment depends on what you actually drink. Our recommendations: Kyusu teapot → best all-purpose Japanese tea set for sencha, bancha, genmaicha, hojicha and other loose-leaf teas Shiboridashi → specialist tea set for gyokuro and kabusecha Japanese matcha set → chasen, chawan, chashaku and sifter for preparing matcha If you’re trying to choose between different tea sets, a tea pot, teapot set or full Japanese tea set with teapot and cups, this guide will help you decide which pieces of Japanese teaware are actually worth buying. After years of traveling around Japan searching for exceptional tea, we’ve also had the opportunity to work with Japanese potters and teaware producers.
