About Kontex
Gentle on the skin and kind to the environment, Kontex has been crafting high-quality towels in Imabari, Japan since 1934. Each towel is made from fine, garment quality thread that’s loosely twisted for the highest level of softness. Such threads would break on modern machines, thus Kontex towels are gently woven on traditional, low-speed looms to maintain the integrity of the thread and achieve a level of softness that modern machines cannot reproduce.
Kontex textiles are carefully washed with large quantities of fresh spring water from the melted snow of Mt. Ishizuchi, ensuring every thread is free from impurities. Known for their compact size, contemporary designs, and powerful absorbency, Kontex towels are suitable for the kitchen or bath.

SAKE-KASU Milk Bath + Face Mask
Sold Out
The life-changing benefits of Sake-Kasu were discovered by accident. Old and wizened sake masters have long been known to have baby-soft and wrinkle free hands. As it turns out, working with koji (an enzyme and amino-acid rich mold used in making sake) helped to inhibit melanin, the main cause of sun spots and freckles.
One of the byproducts of sake production is Sake-Kasu (freeze-dried sake lees) that contains all of the nutrients and leftover koji from the sake making process. This Sake-Kasu Milk Bath + Face Mask contains two bags of Sake-Kasu that can be sprinkled into a bath, made into a paste for a rejuvenating face mask, or even an allergy-fighting hot drink.
This product does not contain alcohol.
