Know before you buy
The 2.5-ply construction layers the fabric to provide a balance between a lightweight feel and high absorbency. It is substantial enough to handle spills effectively while remaining thin enough to dry much faster than traditional, bulky terry cloth towels.
Atozarashi is a traditional Japanese refining process that removes impurities and starches from the cotton fibers after weaving. This results in a towel that is exceptionally soft and highly absorbent from the very first use, without needing a break-in period.
Yes, the organic cotton construction is designed for daily performance. While the gauze texture is soft, the high-quality Japanese craftsmanship ensures it stands up well to frequent washing and regular kitchen use.
This towel is machine washable, making it easy to keep clean. To maintain the integrity of the organic cotton fibers, we recommend washing in cool or warm water and avoiding harsh bleach.
Yes, each towel features a convenient integrated hanging loop. This allows you to hang it on a hook or handle for quick access and efficient drying between tasks.
