Fukin: Japanese Style Kitchen Towel

In Japan, kitchen towels, also known as “fukin,” are commonly used for a variety of purposes in the house. They can be used to clean hands and surfaces, dry dishes, and even absorb spills.

Compared to paper towels or sponges commonly used in abroad, fukin are more environmentally friendly as they can be washed and reused multiple times. They are also more versatile and durable, as they can handle more heavy-duty cleaning tasks.

Fukin come in a variety of sizes and materials, making them an indispensable tool in the Japanese kitchen. Whether you’re cooking a meal or cleaning up, fukin can help make the task easier and more efficient.

This time, I would like to introduce a dish towel made from a local resource called reed from the Yodo River. A new environmentally friendly, sustainable fiber made from a blend of locally sourced reed and cotton. It is a product that can also contribute to society by utilizing local resources. This will help preserve the environment of the Yodo River.

The mesh fabric is sewn together, making it very durable and guaranteed to last. First, wash in cold water and use.

It will become softer. Also. each time you use it, it will become even softer.

Stoles made of the same material have good sweat absorption properties.
