Cooking Apron That Complements Modern Lifestyles

The traditional cooking apron (kappōgi) was designed to protect kimono from oil, water, and dust during household chores by covering up to the sleeves. Many people, while attracted to its functionality, have avoided it due to concerns about its mismatch with Western clothing.

Nakagawa has therefore created a cooking apron adapted to contemporary lifestyles where Western clothing predominates.

Handling Precautions

※Dark colours may fade or transfer due to friction or water exposure, so please avoid leaving wet or soaking in water.
※Do not use chlorine bleach or fluorescent brighteners.

※Avoid tumble drying.
※Dry away from direct sunlight after reshaping.

Designed for Stress-Free Comfort

The greatest appeal of a cooking apron is how quickly it can be put on while effectively protecting clothes from dirt. The back neckline features elastic, the back waist has ties for easy removal, and the sleeves include elastic to prevent water and dirt from entering the cuffs. The sleeve length is kept shorter to avoid interfering with tasks, while the body length just covers the buttocks—protecting the upper body from soiling while maintaining ease of movement.

Durable for Use and Washing

The material is 100% cotton that can be thoroughly washed at home. It features durability to withstand daily use and washing, with a crisp texture that feels like regular clothing. Large pockets on both sides can accommodate smartphones or long wallets.

Streamlined Design for Wearing Like Regular Clothing

Designed to be worn over Western clothes rather than kimono, the sleeves and body width are slightly narrower than traditional cooking aprons. The neckline is styled like a boat neck, and the pocket openings are positioned horizontally, creating a clean silhouette.

Available in Three Colors: 'White,' 'Charcoal,' and 'Navy'

Three colors are available: 'White,' 'Charcoal,' and 'Navy.' The two colors besides the classic 'White' are intentionally deeper shades, giving the impression of regular clothing.
