A Practical Japanese Matcha Container

Product Description

The Kotodo Matcha Container is designed to store and prepare matcha in one compact form.

Made from tinplate in Japan, it measures approximately 3.1 in (7.8 cm) in diameter and 2.4 in (6.2 cm) high. Its double-lid construction helps reduce exposure to light, air, and humidity between uses.

A built-in matcha sifter allows you to break up small clumps before whisking, helping the powder disperse more evenly in the bowl.

The exterior is finished with traditional Japanese paper, giving the container a refined appearance while keeping the design practical for everyday use.

Compact, lightweight, and easy to store, it works well as part of a daily matcha setup or as a gift for someone building a Japanese tea collection.

Japanese tea containers have traditionally been designed to protect delicate tea powders from light, air, and humidity while remaining compact enough for everyday use. The Kotodo container continues that practical approach through its lightweight tinplate body, double-lid construction, and built-in sifter. Its Japanese paper exterior adds a decorative layer to an otherwise highly functional tea tool, combining traditional presentation with modern everyday use.

Note

Keep the container dry and avoid soaking it in water.
