A fluffy and soft towel made of pile yarn and gauze that was softly, doubly, and sterically woven using yarn of organic cotton.
The low water-absorbing power of organic cotton was improved using native enzymes and pure soap, and so, the towel could easily absorb water from the beginning.
The towel comes with a khaki ribbon that could hang the towel. ao's towel also received a Good Design Award.
I was taking advantage of strong USD to Japanese ¥, and I am glad I did order many things! :-)
Everything arrived in less than anticipated time frame for delivery and is in perfect condition due to the efficiently and meticulously packed merchandise! I am still mesmerized how efficient Japanese way of packing so many items in this box with no space wasted, yet it is so obvious that it was done with TLC so nothing is damaged! I learned as I unpacked! Everybody needs to learn packing like Japanese! :-)
Opening the package was a great pleasure with a sense of anticipation and mystery even though I knew what I ordered. You could feel the TLC when unwrapping each item like it is coming from a good friend!
I felt confident as always ordering beautiful products from Shokunin, as they are of good quality which will last a long time if I take care of them well and hope could extend their life to the next generation. I kept telling my son that he would inherit those beautiful items ;-). Wish I could get everything they offer..:-).

Yes, I am very satisfied with the products. Everything was packed well and delivered promptly. The selection of products your site offers is excellent. If I were to be specific, the enamelware is very handy and a nice upgrade to all of my glass tupperware. The Imbari towels are extremely soft and well-priced. The ao towel is my new favorite towel for everyday use. The soba set is exactly what I wanted for enjoying my weekly soba dinner. All of the products are high quality, well-designed, and beautiful. Thank you for shipping them worldwide at an affordable price. I appreciate having access to beautiful Japanese products even when I cannot travel to Japan. I just received the rest of the Noda Horo enamelware this week. Thank you so much for the prompt delivery and good packaging. I will enjoy storing my leftovers in these containers. They make my kitchen look clean and tidy!
