Soft, Gentle Touch on Skin

"Yukine" is known as the "ultimate bleached fabric." When touched, it has a crisp feeling similar to stepping on powder snow. Despite being a thin towel, it offers a soft, gentle touch on the skin, making it suitable even for those with sensitive skin and babies. 

Because it's used daily, we've focused on creating a fabric that feels pleasant against the skin. With each wash, it becomes softer and more comfortable

Handling Precautions

※Due to washing processing, there may be slight differences in size.
※Due to the nature of the material, it may stretch or shrink when using a dryer.
※Please be careful of snagging.
※There is a risk of fraying if strong force is applied.
※If using a washing machine, please use a laundry net.
※Do not use fabric softener, chlorine-based bleach, or detergents containing fluorescent brighteners.
※When first using, please note that dark colours may fade or transfer due to friction or water exposure.

Highly Absorbent, Quick-Drying

"Yukine bleaching" removes impurities such as oils that adhere during the fabric manufacturing process, resulting in cotton's natural texture. We had this made by a weaving manufacturer in Senshu, Osaka—the birthplace of Japan's towel industry. By removing impurities, the fabric gains excellent absorbency and quick-drying properties. Compared to ordinary gauze fabric, its absorbency is about 5 times greater. Within one hour, 90% of moisture disperses (dries). Therefore, it thoroughly absorbs moisture and sweat while drying quickly. It's wonderful to have a towel that maintains its soft touch while drying easily and staying fresh.

Thin Gauze Fabric for Compact Storage

The thin fabric doesn't take up space when folded for storage. Its compact nature makes it convenient for outings and travel. As it dries quickly even when wet, you can easily take it to the pool, beach, camping, and other leisure activities.

Sizes to Suit Various Needs

Available in three sizes: "Face Towel," "Mini Bath Towel," and "Bath Towel." The Face Towel, measuring approximately 32cm×80cm, is a convenient size for daily face washing and drying hair. Taking advantage of its absorbency and quick-drying properties, it's also recommended as a summer sweat towel or kitchen hand towel.
