The Top 3 Products You Should Buy!

These products only use ingredients that are good for the skin with a focus on those that Japan has been historically well-acquainted with. We will introduce three popular products from this brand.

1. No.1 in Popularity! Yoroshi Rice Bran Washing Powder

Washing Powder Rice Bran

Yoroshi Rice Bran Washing Powder (1080 yen~ plus tax) is a facial cleanser made using kome-nuka (*1), removed during the rice-polishing process, as an ingredient.

This product was released in a form fitting for the modern time with an ingredient that was used in Japan long ago. Rice bran contains components that will make your skin smooth and velvety. It is said that rice bran was used as a body wash in Japan during those days.

This is a facial cleanser that is used by mixing powder with water, so one of its advantages is that it is light and travel-friendly. You can easily bring it home even when you purchase a large quantity.

This product can also be tested out at the shop. Ask any of the hakama-wearing staff for assistance and definitely please try testing out how it feels on your skin.

Sample Experience

When we tested it out, there was a faint hot spring and rice fragrance when it was lathered. It seems that mineral salts, a component of hot springs, are also included in its ingredients.

The finely textured foam is gentle and pleasant to the touch on the skin. It left our skin moist after washing it off and we were personally able to experience the smoothness that it provides.

Charcoal Washing Powder (1080 yen~ plus tax) is also available; this cleanser is said to leave both you and your skin feeling refreshed after washing. Be sure to choose the product that is right for your skin.

2. Gifts for Friends! 3 Types of Scented Hand Creams

Hand cream

The hand creams (860 yen~ plus tax) are also a popular product for souvenirs.

There are a total of four label types with three scents available: refreshing citrus fruit yuzu, a floral flower basket, and a matcha green tea scent that will leave you feeling relaxed.

Matcha green tea as a scent is unusual, isn’t it? A yagasuri-gara (*2) label is also sold only for the 50 gram flower basket hand cream.

3. Delicious Even When Eaten! Tabekobu Tea

The tea series (540 yen~ plus tax), the leaves of which can also be eaten after drinking, consists of ingredients such as konbu kelp and burdock root is also popular. This salted kelp tea has a moderately salty flavor that is sure to become addictive. These products use ingredients that are great for the body, so you will likely feel that your body is becoming cleaner after drinking these teas too.

You’re also able to sample the teas at the shop, so please try asking staff for assistance.

Take a Photo Wearing Hakama!

You can have a free hakama-fitting experience when you make a purchase over 1500 yen in stores. There is a total of twelve types of upper-body kimonos and four types of hakama, so you are bound to struggle with choosing the right set for you.

The most popular design is the arrow-feather kimono with violet hakama pants. We tried the hakama-fitting experience!

As the kimono and hakama are designed to able to be worn immediately, it took no more than two minutes to finish getting dressed. This is a great service for travelers that are worried that they don't have enough time in their schedule to try wearing a kimono.
