Your matcha tastes bitter mostly because of water temperature (too hot), incorrect whisking motion, or using too much powder. Use water around 175°F (80°C), whisk in a zigzag (W), not circles, and stick to 2g (about 1/2 tsp) per 70ml of water. The chasen isn't the culprit unless it's old or broken—then it can't aerate properly.
