Romaji: Sumimasen, o-matcha no tatekata ga yoku wakaranai node, oshiete itadakemasu ka? / Reply Romaji: Hai, yorokonde. Mazu, chasen o kono yo ni zengo ni subayaku furu yo ni shite...

Reply

はい、喜んで。まず、茶筅をこのように前後に素早く振るようにして…

はい、よろこんで。まず、ちゃせんをこのようにぜんごにすばやくふるようにして…

Yes, with pleasure. First, use the bamboo whisk like this, moving it back and forth quickly...

Gesture & etiquette

Hold the bamboo whisk (chasen) slightly and look at the staff member with a polite, questioning smile.

Do not stir the matcha in a circular motion like tea with a spoon. It must be whisked vigorously in a back-and-forth 'W' or 'M' shape.
