I'm so glad that you asked. I meant to upload a picture earlier, but I had to run.
This is a sasame, and I assure you that they are very fine. The best I've ever seen.

There are all kinds of screens. The clay one is considered by many as the best.
Most are stainless steel with all kinds of configurations. My favorite is stainless and round, located at the base of the spout. But I also have a clay one that I like, also round and at the base of the spout.
The one pictured above by Space is a very good clay one, lots of fine holes.
