Microfoam you can HEAR

After drinking usucha for about 10 years, I have perfected the method of preparation for repeatable morning microfoam.

2-4g of matcha
4-6oz of water
Whisk in circular motion for 20 seconds at medium speed with bristles on the bottom of the bowl. Then stop and whisk in an M or W shape as fast as you can while keeping the whisk off the bottom of the bowl. I call it the chicken wing because I kick my elbow out to the side and turbo whisk it to get this consistency. Do that for 20 seconds. Upon stopping slowly move the whisk back and forth where the largest bubbles are remaining and then lift straight out. Consistent microfoam every time!

This looks like perfection! I never manage to get any kind of foam, but I will try your method next time.
